I struggled to like any of the characters.

The upper class Republicans were arrogant asses.

The crime family lacked morals.

I like crime, so the revenge part was enjoyable, about a 5 -- but otherwise the actual characters rated 2 stars for me.

Entre les bonnes mains et avec les bons acteurs cette histoire ferait un film excellent. Elle est fourmilliante de détails, les personnages sont hauts en couleur, parfait pour une adaptation visuelle. A lire, par contre, c'est un peu lourd. On arrive au dénouement sans surprise, la tension n'est pas aussi prononcée qu'elle aurait pu l'être en gardant un peu de mystère dans le développement.

Ceci dit, c'est quand même un fantastique portrait de New York à la fin du dix-neuvième, vraiment j'y étais !
