Something for Everyone

I won't go into detail about the storyline of this book because that's been done to great lengths by the reviewers before me, but I will say that this story contains something of interest for everyone. It is an awesome read that I couldn't put down. Everyone to whom I've lent it agrees. I plan to read it again.

Loved this book

I don't like to read. It is difficult for me to find a book that holds my attention and this one did and was fantastic.

LOVED IT!

I bought this book for my husband for his birthday. He loved it and recommended that I read it. I did and thought it was a fantastic book with interesting characters and a lot of New York City history. I couldn't put this book down. I am looking forward to reading more books by Thomas Kelly!

This is one of the most engrossing novels i have read in some time. in an era where the novel has become nothing more than a hodge podge pastiche of cleverness Kelly delivers good story, good characters and a great backdrop. Everything that makes a great novel is here. get it read it now!

Has anybody here read Kelly........................

Holy Moly, this guy keeps getting better with every book. I'm a dyed in the wool Steinbeck, London,O'Hara reader, but I think Kelly is starting to slap those boys back a bit. My pantheon is reshuffling. As soon as my eyes hit the first page, I was sucked into this tremendous story. If you are a Real New Yorker, this is the baby to take a gander at. Keep up the writing Mr. Kelly. Jose` de Toluca
