I wish I'd read the afterword first. There he explains that while a few characters and events are based on real people, most of the characters are composites. So me trying to figure out who was who throughout the story was futile (except for a few obvious people).
I would rather have either a completely fictional version that exaggerates the bad people or crazy antics, or a more directly real history. But he went a different way and it just doesn't fully work for me.
Chaykin's art is great, except for human faces which look seriously odd, sometimes disturbingly so.
