I read this graphic novel about Jewish gangsters in New York c. 1920s/1930s on my lunch breaks--it provides great lunch reading and can be finished in a couple of lunches. The era of the book and the subject matter [gangsters] are a nice fit for black and white panels. Gangsters in the 1930s just goes with this format--I just wish the story wasn't so predictable and ho-hum.

2.5 stars. I had trouble keeping the different characters straight in my head.
