dry dry dry.... more than you will ever want to know about the gangs of chicago.
had to force myself to finish this after just 2 pages and regret the time i spent on it...
i suppose if you need this information for a research paper it would be excellent.
ugh- perhaps the dullest book i have ever read
i am only sorry there is not a "no star" option to rate it

update- i just read the book blurb- that was 100thousandmillion times more exciting than the book......
