Beautiful Broads with Brass Balls!!
Standing less than five feet tall and never weighing more than 95 pounds, Bonnie Parker was a malicious animal with a taste for blood; from the time she was old enough to inflict damage on another human being.
When she was ten years old, Bonnie exchanged insults with a boy named Noel. Noel had the good sense to walk away from the confrontation. But Bonnie followed him into a drug store and proceeded to beat the crap out of him. Her cousin, Bess, was with Bonnie, but she was powerless to prevent her cousin’s vicious attack.
Bess later said, “When a passing neighborhood woman separated them, Bonnie had a razor blade in her hand and was threatening to cut Noel’s throat, if he ever made her mad again.”
When she was just days short of her sixteenth birthday, Bonnie married a hardened gangster named Roy Thornton. With Thornton frequently being in and out of jail, and also possessing a roving eye for other women, Bonnie soon gave up on their marriage.
Although she never divorced Thornton, months after her nineteenth birthday, Bonnie hooked up with a short, skinny, pimple-faced, homicidal maniac named Clyde “Schoolboy” Barrow, who longed to be a mobster in the mold of his idol, Pretty Boy Floyd.
In the early 1930s, Bonnie and Clyde, employing a revolving crew of killers, committed murder and mayhem in mid-America; robbing banks, gas stations, and stores, and leaving numerous people dead, including nine law enforcement officers.

Good read
Interesting and informative. I’ve read several books on this subject and this one holds true, and even added a few new stories.

I really enjoyed reading the main part of this book about Bonnie. I have loved reading about the story of Bonnie and Clyde ever since I was in littler. They are the true dynamic duo. However the second part was just horrible. I.didn't understand what it really had to do with the book much since it was mainly to be about broads vs men. Who knows Maybe I just don't understand it

It was ok
I am not sure why I could not get into the book. Although the book was well written as all of Bruno's are. I am guessing it's something to do with the characters.
