Gangs of New York by Herbert Asbury. [View all]

Interestingly enough, I was really bored with this book. I don't know how that happened though. Riots, stabbings, guns, fire, etc. You'd think that it would be more interesting...(also questionable as to how much actually happened.)

I'm not so sure I'd recommend it. It dragged quite a bit for me. You know, it was a count down. "50 more pages!" "40 more pages!" And so on and so forth.
