'Taylini: A Family Saga' is a drama that takes you precisely inside the life of a mafiosa family, according to the book review of Sherry Moore of Shadows of the Past. In this well-written story, the reader is taken not only into the internal family problems, but also in their struggles. I recommend this novel."
However, what has impacted many readers -- and many are the testimonies expressed through the internet – is that is not a violent story, but the novel even introduces the dynamic of love of the two young Italian-American 'padrini" for two women who do not belong to the families of the organized crime.

'Their lives are complicated not only for their biological membership/belonging in a family that tries to keep the family together, but also for the logic of the mafia family that seeks to keep in control the lives of their own members and dictate their choices," according to the review of Shirley Roe of All Books Review.
Even the book's internet forum seems to have much success: Readers write their own comments, talking about some particular anecdote that has hit them. The signatures in the guest book, sensible to the argument, highlight the presence of Italian-Americans. However, not only the names highlight their presence, but also some comments about belonging to a community with Italian origins that look for books dealing with Italian related arguments as part of their own origins.
