Well, I learned a lot. But I seriously just finished the Robert Caro book on Robert Moses, which is fascinating and inspirational and educational, and this just pales in comparison. It's not so thorough, and just teases you with tidbits about his experiences in the alley with the rats, and the history of the bits of the city that are related to his rat studies, and the rat studies themselves. The whole thing felt more anecdotal.... it was a snack, and I wanted the whole meal. But since I knew almost nothing about rats before reading this, I certainly did learn SOMETHING, and it's always nice to read a book about the city that I miss so much. Even if it's all about how close the rats are to where I sleep. Gross, dude....less

Weird, but... Rob Sheffield really gives you a perfect snapshot of a perfectly imperfect relationship, and you find yourself so jealous of the man for what he had while he's ripping your heart out because he lost it without any say in the matter. Crap, man. Crap.
Only three stars, though, because his writing style is way too on-the-nose-cutesy for me, and also he namedrops just once too many....less
