This is essentially a study of all the different cultures that make up NYC- for better or worse- and it doesn’t shy away from the ugly parts.ronan_lesh's review against another edition

Two parts 'New York is just the best!'
And one part 'Are you sure you noticed the racism? Let me repeat it again over an extra 10 pages just to be sure. And then apply every racial stereotype to the other characters so you're aware they're not white.'
With a couple of ageist and fatphobic comments to round it all out.
Also the twist at the end? Absolutely predictable.
