I get the idea of this book and I think it had good intentions of being a great nonfiction book. But in the end I was bored by the time I read 20% of the book. The kidnapping stories all ended up seeming like repeated information and the same story. I was just uninterested by that point. I think it’s well written and easy to understand as a nonfiction full of dates and names. I think you’d enjoy this book if you were into the gangs of the 1930s.
