I know there was some controversy about whether the author really knew some of the people he mentioned he grew up with but for anyone from the NY area, especially if you grew up in the 50s or 60s or are interested in these eras, this book is a wonderfull trip down memory lane. Great nostalgic look at NYC and what made it so great during the heydays of the great city.
