Usually I devour a book but I truly enjoyed savoring this one. I love Josh's understated, nuanced style. His research is so meticulous that I felt like I got a free history lesson for 1930's San Francisco--which I loved.

Another on of those books that leave you very warm inside. With Josh is like reading the same thing over and over again, never getting tired of hearing it every single time.
Rounded up.
