Negative Positive
Title: Too fictionalized
Review: If you're looking for a reasonably truthful account of the flamboyant criminal career of Jack "Legs" Diamond, my advice would be to skip this book. Sam Curzon, the author, creates characters (such as the nurse, Mary Bogan, with whom Legs supposedly had an affair) who simply never existed, and the dialogue contained in these pages is questionable at best. Certain names, dates and places are factual, but in my view this book contains an unacceptable amount of misinformation, far too much for any serious student of the Gangster Era.
Is the review positive or negative?
