Received today. Thanks so much for sharing!
I enjoyed this story. Billy is good narrator and the story moves along at a nice pace. Not being familiar with American history, I did not realize that Dutch Schultz was actually a gangster in New York City during the 1920's & 30's. This made for a new and interesting spin on the story.
This book is now back on the 1001 library bookshelf and can be borrowed by PMing Heaven150:)
