Very nice, SC.

You'll read it in less than a day, DC. It's not too long to begin with, and it's written an an unusual style. Kind of rambling and almost hard to follow, but if you're familiar with the story (as I know you are), it's a fast, enjoyable read.

Very gritty. Very New York. The author paints a nice picture of the City in the '60s and early '70s (admirable, considering he was born in '74). It brought me back to my childhood.
