Alex's Reviews > The Gangs of New York

I think I love this book so much because its yet another bit of evidence that humans have always be sublimely f'd up and perverse, and criers of declining morality and vices of the twentieth century have no idea what they're talking about.

I also love it for it's great antique voice, that lets you know "THIS WAS WRITTEN LONG AGO". (Warning: antique voice means that antique casual racism is included as well, which honestly really isn't quite as delightful at ALL).

I also also love it for being better then the movie of the same name in every possible way (except maybe Daniel Day Lewis) and for also being true!
