Algren's masterpiece and a must read for any fan of fiction that isn't afraid to dwell on the dark side for awhile. Frankie Machine may be the lead character, but the character that drives the story most is Chicago itself. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/32660?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
