I'm gonna read it but I don't want to see it in my currently reading section while I'm taking a break from it because I'm in a bit of a reading slump and need quicker and easier reads.

I think that this book would have benefited from being broke up a bit more. I think that the purely chronological division makes sense for the most part– it allows the reader to see how each event was happening at the same time and effecting the cities political landscape but I think that some form of chapters would have made it more readable.
The history itself is fascinating– difficult but fascinating. My dad was in New York in the 1980s so it's been nice to have the book to open some discussion about what he remembers from the time compared to the history and how events he didn't remember effected things he did.

I read this with both ebook and audio book and was so fascinated by the research into the reactions by the public to Koubek and Weston. 
The fact that people are talking about sex checking today is a fundamental misunderstanding of where those policies came from and an embarrassment.

It's 3:00 a.m. And I'm stobbing.

I will eventually, it just wasn't a good time for me that year. Hopefully I'll get to it in 2022.
