Well, I've read most of the Boardwalk Empire book -- it's about Atlantic City's history, not just about Nucky. 200 pages, and just one chapter on Nucky, so yeah...how far can they really stretch it (with facts)?

But I still love it, and can't wait for the continuation!


did they already stretched the facts with the D'Alessio (based upon Lanzetta brothers)brothers being whacked? their real life counter parts were whacked i believe later on in the decade.
