Holy crap. I've read some violent stuff before but Ned getting the beat down for the length of time he did was brutal. And amazing. Loving this book not only because it's great seeing where Millers Crossing came from but also because he's a damn good writer.

Fantastic so far. I only found out very recently that this book influenced the Coen Brothers to make Millers Crossing, one of my all time favourites. You can really see how they took their cue from it but really ended up making it their own. Great read so far!

Just pulled this one off the stack and while I was researching some books, found out that this was one that influenced the Coen Brothers film Miller's Crossing which is one of my all time favourite films of theirs...it's a no brainer, this one is going to get read this month.
