I'm not usually the type to read about gangsters and the prohibition era, but it has always interested me, and this was a great way to get started. Really enjoyable and a great read. But keep in mind, certain events that Collins creates for her characters can make you cringe.

Gino is a fascinating characters, an anti-hero that you can't help but love, even when he's being a d**k. His daughter is just as head strong, somewhat uncouth, but smooth and graceful in her own way. The way the story is split, Gino's time in the 20s, 30s, 40s and Lucky's in the 70s, it was a great way to develop the story with out having the events spoiled.
