Mob Daughter by Karen Gravano & Lisa Pulitzer Book Summary

From Karen Gravano, a star of the hit VH1 reality show Mob Wives, comes a revealing memoir of a mafia childhood, where love and family come hand-in-hand with murder and betrayal.

Karen Gravano is the daughter of Sammy "the Bull" Gravano, once one of the mafia's most feared hit men. With nineteen confessed murders, the former Gambino Crime Family underboss—and John Gotti's right-hand man—is the highest ranking gangster ever to turn State's evidence and testify against members of his high-profile crime family.

But to Karen, Sammy Gravano was a sometimes elusive but always loving father figure. He was ever-present at the head of the dinner table. He made a living running a construction firm and several nightclubs. He stayed out late, and sometimes he didn't come home at all. He hosted "secret" meetings at their house, and had countless whispered conversations with "business associates." By the age of twelve, Karen knew he was a gangster. And as she grew up, while her peers worried about clothes and schoolwork, she was coming face-to-face with crime and murder. Gravano was nineteen years old when her father turned his back on the mob and cooperated with the Feds. The fabric of her family was ripped apart, and they were instantly rejected by the communities they grew up in.

This is the story of a daughter's struggle to reconcile the image of her loving father with that of a murdering Mafioso, and how, in healing the rift between the two, she was able to forge a new life.

Easy Read. Karen repeats herself a lot in this book. But it does tell her story

Sexy. Good book. She's sexy.

Great. Great book really enjoyed this read 😃

Very good book!. I wasn't sure what kind of book this was going to be, characters from the underworld, a tv show, the headlines. What it is a story about a family, and how "their" American dream plays out. It's a story about a father and his love for a family, it is written by a adoring daughter who has to deal with the father she knows and the one the world knows. At times this book will anger you, make you laugh and feel for a family who are anything but typical. Really great book.

Mob daughter. I'm so fascinated by your story. This is one of the first times a book had captured my full attention. I feel like right or wrong your father did what he had to do for his family, and everyone can appreciate that. I admire your ability to talk about your story. I love the reality show mob wives and this book gives me a better understanding of your life. I think your father is a courageous man. Thank you for showing me that everybody does things they aren't proud of but at the end of the day everything shapes you to be a better person. I hope everyone who reads this appreciates this book the way I did. I hope your father is doing well and enjoys his freedom once he receives it again. Karen is my favorite mob wife. Thank for this great read, C10P

love. Cried the whole time. love

Mob Daughter. A MUST read for Italian- American women who grew up in New York... Couldn't put it down !

Outstanding. After watching the hit show "Mob Wives" and learned that Karen was writing a book, I couldn't wait to read it. After reading this book, my heart goes out to Karen, her Father "Sammy the Bull" and the rest of her family. I couldn't image what she and her family went through for so many years. So I will be one to not judge her families lifestyle. They are all very brave and strong!

Mob Daughter. Absolutely loved this book!

Mob Daughter. Not at all what I expected. So much hype went into this book from the show. ( which I love ) . I wouldn't recommend this book to my worst enemy, let alone anyone of my friends. Poorly written, and just a lot of nonsense. Would've expected no less from the daughter of the biggest rat in history... Im sorry I spent the 12 bucks.., live and learn.....

Nice. This was a great informational book about the mob life style I can't wait to read the " underboss" next :-)

Hope. I do not write reviews...you are brave and amazing. I appreciate your life story and hope the best for your family and future. Reading how tough it's been for y'all and how y'all try to stick together gives me hope for my family and our issues...Thank You, Leah Raeburn

Eh....As expected.. Title says it all. This book was as expected. Most of us know the story if you've heard of Sammy the Bull or of you watch Mob Wives. Nothing new.

Great book. So honest and truly a story of how families really are! All families have their issues and Karen has become a smart woman and mom! Wish you well Donna santaniello

Will. This was a very good book. It's as addicting as the show. For being a Mobster, Sammy Gravano was a good father

Great Read. Karen did a great job in writing this book... It was a great read and I look forward to seeing where life take her and her family in the future... Good luck

Mob Daughter. This book was excellent! I am a big fan of mob wives and very interested in the life that Ms. Gravano and the other mob wives live. It is heart touching story and I am totally obsessed with mob wives can't wait till season three and hopefully the movie supposedly coming out. Definitely keeps you hooked!

Great read.. I couldn't put this book down since I bought it. It is a great read and gives a better u defeat ding I to the mob wives show as well as the mob life from a family members point of view.

Pretty good!. The book is a lot better than I thought it would be. At first I was hesitant to read it because of who wrote it, but it got better the longer I read it. It gives a lot of insight to many things about the mob and individual members themselves.

LisaVerrett. "Love the book and Mob Wives too. " I can't wait for the movie to out!!

New editor needed ASAP. I will first start off by saying that I was very disappointed with the amount of typos and poorly written sentences. It was very obvious that Karen is not an author. As for her story, the beginning part was soo incredibly boring!! But if you can get through the first 12 chapters of her talking about her childhood and her repetitive saying that she didn't understand what was really going on, then you will enter into her fast life with lots of drama and suspense. The story was very interesting with a good mix of the narrative part about what happened in Arizona and with her feelings throughout the events that happened. Ultimately, I was not impressed and would probably never purchase one of her books if she ever wrote another. Seeing grammatical errors and spelling errors are completely unacceptable in my eyes. Andddd she was too repetitive. I'm sure that if Karen wasn't on mob wives, this book would have NEVER made it on the new York's best seller list.

Great book. I really enjoyed the book and the background it lead into of Karen's father , but I would like to have known every detail!!!! Good luck with ur successes Karen!

I liked it. Being a fan of the show ... It gave a deeper sense of true lifestyles the women are experiencing, I would like to see Karens mother on the show, she must have a lot to add to an already spectacular show ... Keep spreading your wings Karen

Good read. I enjoyed reading this book, it kept me intrigued & wanting 2 read more, I would recommend it!

Great read.. I read this book in two days and must say its a great read good store and is written well pick it up.

Great book!. Wow! Couldn't put it down! Great book!!

Good Read. It was entertaining but not much insight into being a mob daughter. Jumped ahead too quickly from 18 on. I hope she’s at peace with herself. Couldn’t have been easy being his daughter.

Great book!!!. Wow great book from just hearing all the stories in the news papers and on the television you totally don't get the full story.watching Karen on mob wives I never really understood why she came off so powerful with her personality but reading this book made me get a clear understanding not only what type of person she is but also her entire family.I no Karen didn't write thus book to get any pity but all that she has been through how can u not feel for her and her family.Even tho her and her father have done things that they are not proud of there is a moral in this story and that is stay true to who u are and what u believe and not matter how hard things could get there is light at the end of the tunnel!!! Thank u Karen for sharing ur story

Hayward, CA. Thank you Karen - i found your book Intriguing and captivating from start to finish.

The book was a good read.. I liked how the book allowed you to get a glimpse of her life and family history. However, there were many grammatical errors, repetition and contradictions. I would have like to have know more of the details of her stories. I felt she held back a lot! Overall, I enjoyed reading it.

Mob Daughter. The book wasn't at all what I expected. Karen word of advice, reader want to picture what they are reading . This book was poorly written. Stick to the spa business cause writing and acting are something your not that good at.

Wow!. Amazing story! Makes you appreciate everything u have and know, although u went through some tough times Karen, you are still a very strong and amazing woman, unbreakable!! Love your book!! Love the show!! God bless !!

A Real Mob Daughter. A true to life story as seen through the eyes of Karen Gravano. There is a bond that has always been between a father and his daughter. A strong will to survive!

Mob daughter. I loved this book! Karen is an inspiration!

Just wow.... I had no idea this life exists. I always watched Mob Wives and loved it. Karen’s book was way more detailed and insightful into her life growing up. I couldn’t put this book down.

Doing the time. Interesting read, very exciting and sad after reading this story and not knowing all the details you kind of understand why Sammy did what he did I don't feel to bad for what happened. To John but I am not to sure about the rest of the folks that went down oh well like the saying goes. Don t do the crime if you can't do the time

Mob daughter. What a great read!!!! I couldn't put it down especially towards the end!!! Good job!!!!

Mob Daughters. Great read!

Mob Daughter. This was a very good book. I finished it in three days. Easy flow, and never boring.

Mob Daughter. Thank you Karen for letting us see a glimpse of your world. Great book!

Mob Daughter. Not impressed thought the book would be more detailed. Seems like allot was left.

Mob Daughter. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and have a deep respect for Karen's ability to tell her life story. I wish her and her family the best.

Karan book. I thought is was terrible, we can all tell stories about our childhood hers is no different

Amazing!!. This book completely changed my opinion of Karen Gravano. I couldn't put it down!! She did an amazing job.

Not bad.. The book was better than I thought it would be. A little pricey if you ask me. It's always nice to hear everyone's version of how things happened. Karen's mom should write a book and tell her story. At times I thought Karen seemed to play her role in certain things down and she sort of played the victim role. Then other times Karen seems to think an awful lot of herself and her role in certain things like Mob Wives and her nephew being raised. I'm not sure why Karen makes it seem like she raised her nephew when he has a mother. I found it a little strange that Karen talked so much about Lee. She talked more about Lee than any other man she dated. It made me wonder if Karen still has feelings for Lee. All in all the book was a decent read.

Love it!!!!!!. This book is awesome!! It's great to see how the families of these notorious gangsters live and to see the ups and downs and to know that their families are able to move past their lives and build a loving bond with the mobsters! It's a life that no one will ever be able to understand to the full extent unless they have lived it! So touching to see that Karen has made amends and is living life to the fullest with her family!

Amazing. I read Undercover Boss years ago I loved it . Growing up myself in a Sicilian family in San Francisco ,I understand a lot of the traditions and ways,although my Father was not in the life. Karen a really insightful read, thank you for sharing. Defiantly made me want to reread UnderBoss . Congrats on coming through the other side!

Mob Daighter. Wow. Awful.

Mob Daughter review. I love the book! I absolutely love Karen as well!! She is a strong woman and a survivor! I was a huge fan before because of the show and now I am an even bigger one if that's even possible lol

****. It is a really good book to read..

Save your money. I am terribly dissapointed at having spent 13.00 on this book. I think my mistake was i didn't realize your dad had a book, now thats the story. Your book reads no different than how many rich spoiled kids live, clubs, vip tables fendi gucci bags etc. I think it's a matter of time before you resort back to "who you are" when times get rough. Perhaps use some money to go to College, so when ppl stop using your spa you can earn a clean living and stop living off your dads name.

Just Ok. I wasn’t sure what I expected reading this. I was hoping to see more into a life as mob daughter. It did just that however I was not that impressed by it. I don’t know what it is but it lacked something and seemed repetitive in the story telling. It was an OK read but I don’t think I could recommend it.

Overall impression of mob daughter. I thought this book was wonderful it was touching and very dear to the heart I would recommend this book to anyone of my friends and family to read.

Mob Daughter. Loved the insight into Karens life, her upbringing and honest approach to her story was great!!

Mob Daughter. V

Mob Daughter by Karen Gravano. This book was good and I hope another is on its way!

Mob wives. Terribly written .. Someone should have used spell check ..would of done well with someone editing the book .. Many of the stories are re written over and over ... How ever .. The meat of the book is interesting .. The story is one that i wanted to keep reading ... If only is was better written !

Good Read. This book kept me reading. Although a lot of the story happened before my time. Watching Mob Wives and seeing the characters on tv never give you a real sense of who they really are. This book has opened my eyes to the person who is Karen Gravano. I could relate and I have a better understanding of the Mafia life.
