I would give this book 3.5 stars if I could.

It's not that I didn't like it. In fact, I raved about it, for a while. But the middle became very long, tedious, and rife with domestic political struggles. (I suppose, as an international relations major, I'm already predisposed to being uninterested in the local political arena.)

I much preferred the beginning third of the book, and then the last 50 pages or so. It's made me curious to see what has occurred in San Francisco since Harvey Milk's assassination, and how Castro became the district it is today.
