Loved...Most of It

Revisado: 02-04-16

Would you listen to City on Fire again? Why?

Yes. in time. The two negatives I mention below would not keep me away.
1. I didn't enjoy the "interludes," at all. I thought they were boring and they felt self-indulgent to me.
2. Toward the end, the author jumped 20 years forward in time, at random, while the action is going on. Personally, I was invested in the period of the novel, not future small details.

Would you recommend City on Fire to your friends? Why or why not?

I would recommend it to all of my New Yorker friends, young and old. The author allows glimpses into several different worlds of NYC, and a time in history that was crazy, gritty, a hellhole of squalor; and unlike most of NYC today.

Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Rebecca Lowman's narration gets on my nerves and was the weakest point of this Audible book. I will avoid her narrations.

If you could take any character from City on Fire out to dinner, who would it be and why?

William, of course. He was the star. He was a star.

Any additional comments?

I can already see the movie in my head
