I only got to page 100 and quit--I will see the movie instead--this is 545 pages of just a history lesson, it isn't written like a story but like a history class lesson, each person it introduces it has to give the entire background for them until there are so many characters it is hard to keep track of them all-whence-just see the movie to get the story in a version you'll understand better although it is a true accounting of Mickey Cohen it is very hard to follow.
