A fascinating biography of a unique mayor
Buddy Cianci, former mayor of Providence, seems larger than life. I remember describing him to a friend from Ohio in the late 90s, and my friend thought that I *had* to be making it all up. Larger-than-life, mayor who brought about an unbelievable Renaissance for Providence, but whose regime was unspeakably corrupt, Buddy is a study in contrasts - and this book captures the good, the bad, and the ugly very well.

Not my favorite book but there were parts i really enjoyed and there were parts i really disliked and were super slow
Couldn’t renew :/
I really enjoyed it, but it felt like it dragged at times. Maybe Buddy’s memoir will be easier to get through??
