I quite liked it, fairly short but really give some mob-boss flavor to the wizarding world. Remus gives Sirius to Harry as a christmas gift. They break into Azkaban, kidnap him and take him off somewhere for a nice quite execution so Harry can learn the trade. 4.5/5

 

I liked it. Not mind-blowingly good, but a funny take that definitely had its moments. 4.5/5

 

You sir, are a faggot.

EDIT: The story isn't as gay as I first though, not a huge fan though. Will edit on completion.

 

Eh, the whole story is told in plot summary format. If the author ever decides to write the actual story, it might be good. As it is, 2/5.

 

Yeah, I liked the very beginning but after that it kind of became notes. The author might as well have written:

~Harry gets adopted by Remus
~Hermione bookkeeper
~Sirius/Remus

I liked it, but it wasn't great

 

I'll give it a 4. Even though it wasn't in depth, I really really liked the idea...

 

It was a fine story. Too bad it wasn't a bit longer, though. It cuts off in the summer before OOTP. I was hoping to see Voldemort decimated by Remus's mafia...

 

I read it a few days ago, but now that I dont have anything to do for a while, Ill post a review.

Mafia!Harry gets +1, Mafia Boss!Lupin gets -1.Slash gets -1.

The story idea isnt bad and its not a bad read, but its not something id have spent time to read if there was something more worth reading.

4/5 for the idea and such, 3.7 for execution.

 

I'm of two minds on this story.

On one hand, I think the idea could be really cool and I'd love to see this extended into an actually peice of writing.

On the other hand, I shudder to think of reading this dry and uninspiring tone for chapters on end.

 

personally the writing is fine for a oneshot, but i'd really love it if it was written in a different style and a lot longer.
as it is i give it a 4/5 because it cuts off at a shiet moment.

 

This was a fairly good read. Even if its only 1 long chapter. Writing was good. Didn't see any grammar errors.

4/5 for me.

Richard.

 

Haven't seen a Mafia story in a good long while that wasn't lame. This one was better than most, but I still thought it was a bit dry. Seemed to me like there was very little dialogue and the author just wrote out a list of events and stuck a few descriptions around them. Thought the slash was random and unneeded. It was probably more just to keep the fangirls interested. Still it was amusing. 3/5

 

I thought it was pretty good. While the writing style was slightly poor and overall slightly dry, and the plot somewhat in the same category, the outlook on the story from this viewpoint is certainly interesting. It's not something I would recommend in the long run simply due to the writing style, but for how short it is, it's fine, despite the lack of depth. Just how interestingly the events unfolded, I think it deserves something like a 4/5. The slash is kind of strange and unnecessary, but I guess that's how some people roll. Good way to pass a few minutes, and it is a well executed Mafia!Harry, which is a definite bonus. How often do you see one of those?

4/5
