So much of this book's writing style will start telling you a story only to launch into a side story with so much detail that it's very easy to get lost. I enjoyed the read, but it's not something I'd necessarily go out of my way to read again. It was interesting to learn about growing up in Jersey City, a topic that I was curious about prior to completing this book.

Not as much a story of a family as it is a story of Jersey City. Lots of political history and kind of a dry in spots. Not what I was expecting, but still interesting and enjoyable.

This enjoyable book is a very funny story about the author's extended family and growing up "among swindlers, bookies and crooks" in New Jersey. I loved it!
