I enjoyed the local Jewish history and recognized a few names of people and places I knew. I learned a few things I didn't already know (Kid Cann was partially responsible for the tragic scrapping of the Twin Cities streetcar system!) The writing wasn't inspiring. At times it was repetitive and didn't tell a story so much as it listed anecdotes and names. It's a quick read, so if you're really interested in Minneapolis Jewish gangster history, go for it.
