Negative Positive
Title: Reads like an exciting novel
Review: The only disappointment I experienced while reading this book was that it came to an end! To use a tired but appropriate cliche, 'I could not put it down.' The reader will be very impressed by Matera's meticulous research, yet the book is not a dry rehashing of details. It reads like a novel; an exciting portrayal of a mesmerizing personality. You might feel a bit guilty, because the book comes across as a sympathetic rendering of the notorious gangster and, as a result, you may find yourself actually rooting for Dillinger at the end. All in all, a fascinating depiction of Dillinger's life and times.
