A review by e_flah
Chicago, by David Mamet
1.0
This is a meandering tale about reporters, murders, and the mob. It wants to be a thriller but moves too slowly to generate suspense. The story is told primarily through dialogue between the main character, Mike, and his friend Parlow with little to no exposition.
If you don't mind your historical fiction with a heavy dose of what I can only call Literary Elements then perhaps Chicago is for you. As it is, I finished the story frustrated and wishing I'd just read a Raymond Chandler novel instead.
