I had to read this after I saw the movie Gangster Squad and my mom said "You've never heard of Mickey Cohen??" Um, no. . . .

Well, now I know. I also learned that the movie Gangster Squad is more Hollywood sensationalism than an accurate bio of Mickey Cohen.

I learned a lot reading this book. There were so many characters I couldn't keep them all straight. At times it seemed like it dragged a bit, not a lot of action. I was still trying to figure out at the end just HOW he controlled L.A. like he did. Very interesting bit about Joe Stompanato and Lana Turner. I can just hear my mom saying, "You never heard about that??". Well, now I have!

Recommended for anyone looking to find out more about L.A. gangsters but unfortunately, not a very exciting book.
