The Ice Man by Philip Carlo Book Summary

Philip Carlo's The Ice Man spent over six weeks on the New York Times Bestseller List. Top Mob Hitman. Devoted Family Man. Doting Father. For thirty years, Richard "The Iceman" Kuklinski led a shocking double life, becoming the most notorious professional assassin in American history while happily hosting neighborhood barbecues in suburban New Jersey.

Richard Kuklinski was Sammy the Bull Gravano's partner in the killing of Paul Castellano, then head of the Gambino crime family, at Sparks Steakhouse. Mob boss John Gotti hired him to torture and kill the neighbor who accidentally ran over his child. For an additional price, Kuklinski would make his victims suffer; he conducted this sadistic business with coldhearted intensity and shocking efficiency, never disappointing his customers. By his own estimate, he killed over two hundred men, taking enormous pride in his variety and ferocity of technique.

This trail of murder lasted over thirty years and took Kuklinski all over America and to the far corners of the earth, Brazil, Africa, and Europe. Along the way, he married, had three children, and put them through Catholic school. His daughter's medical condition meant regular stays in children's hospitals, where Kuklinski was remembered, not as a gangster, but as an affectionate father, extremely kind to children. Each Christmas found the Kuklinski home festooned in colorful lights; each summer was a succession of block parties.

His family never suspected a thing.

Richard Kuklinski is now the subject of the major motion picture titled "The Iceman"(2013), starring James Franco, Winona Ryder, Ray Liotta, and Chris Evans.

You can't put it down. I have not yet read the iBook yet, but, I've read the printed form several times, and each time I read and read until I'm exhausted, once I start I don't want to stop reading even though I have read it enough times that I know what is going to happen. A riveting novel!

Horrible. This book is so horribly written, I couldn’t even finish it.

Must get!. This is a must get for anyone that likes true crime in gruesome detail! Very good book!

Good Read, But Lots of Mistakes. The book is a good read and surely pulls you in…but I can't get past the ALL OF THE SPELLING ERRORS and GRAMMATICAL MISTAKES. It drove me crazy reading this that peoples names were continually spelled wrong and lots of words were in places that made no sense at all. Nearly every page it seemed. Who edited this?

Ice Man. This book was exciting from the first page to the last.

Great book. I definitely enjoyed the book although it was very graphic. It's not the fault of the author Richard is just a really cold blooded killer and used lots of different ways to do it.

The Ice Man. This book is riveting. I couldn't put it down. Though the main character of the story is a very bad man I sometimes felt myself rooting for him. That was a very confusing feeling as I consider myself a law abiding citizen. If you want to read a book about murder and the inner workings of the mind of a homicidal hit man with no remorse, read this book. I will say the authors writing at times felt sophomoric and redundant at times but he knows how to keep your attention.

100% fiction. Great read, riveting except none of it’s true. Turns out Kuklinski didn’t kill anyone, let alone 100 or whatever ridiculous number he told people. He was just bored, compulsive liar. As crazy as it sounds, look it up.

Ice man. This was one of the most intense books I have ever read I could not what to read it every day..

The ice man. I'm not a huge book guy but this one keeps you reading and picturing the events unfold, I would highly recommend this to all adults. Hope you enjoy like I did.

Wow!. What a read! Stomach turning and addictive, I felt deranged for enjoying it so.

Leaves you chilled. You will think about this the rest of your life.

Great book. I enjoyed this book. Once I started reading I couldn't put it down.

The best Mob hit man book ever.. Can not stop to sleep this story is great dont pass it up.

Twisted. This is 1 of my favorite books, after this I had to read about "Sammy the bull". Twisted when he used the rats to dispose a person

Great Book. I have read this book now in full and it's all I wanted to read after a long day at work. I hold a BS in Criminal Justice and the Socio-Criminology of this man has always fascinated me. Great job at exploring the background of Kuklinski.

Shocking. I grew up in Bensonhurst B'klyn and knew Phillip Carlo. I am shocked that he became a writer. Many of the accounts of Richard Kuklinski's alleged murders have been greatly embellished. Impossible for anyone to kill at that rate and not get caught for that many years. However, I think it was a good read. RIP Phillip Carlo.

Eye opener. Doesn't excuse the evils of murders, but helps you understand what may cause it. In this case his parents were beyond abusive. Heart wrenching how you could hurt a child. It causes damaging affects

Couldn't put it down!!!. I had seen the HBO shows about him in my late teens but had completely forgot all about him. I came across his name on a website and heard there was a book about him and being fascinated with true crime, I downloaded it. Amazing story!!!! Very highly recommended!!!!! (But only if you have a strong stomach)

Ice man. Great read.

The Ice Man. This was a very chilling, mind blowing experiences that I've ever read regarding murder. I read this book in several sittings, and still I'm perplexed how someone could kill and eat after. I am still glad that this book was written to provide closure for both victims, the hit man's, and his victim's families.

Jersey City Man. Excellent book. Seemed to enjoy his work. A must read.

Ice Man. Excellent book! Couldn’t put it down until I finished it!

STUNNING PROFILE. Engaging, illuminating, chilling.

The Iceman. Very detailed, well written but disgusting detail on the ultimate evil in man. And then going on to praise and glorify this devil from hell who exhibited no remorse yet was celebrated for his honesty. Give me a f’en break!

Loved It. Great read, very interesting and well put into words. The subject matter was dark but the telling of the story was excellent. I highly recommend this book.

Embellishing Author!. Don't waste your money on this book of bull#%^*. Hoffa? Galante? Come on. Kuklinski was an uneducated dumb Polack. Shame on you author,author.

An amazing true story a triumph in writing. This was a story that needed to be told and Carlo truly captures the moment, the life, the story.

Wow. Amazing book Hard to put down Makes you realize how truly scary the world is Lock your doors and windows before you start reading----- RATS!!!!!!!

Incredible. Best Mob book ever.. End of context.
