The City Below

Summary: The City Below
Review: This book was recommended to me by a friend who like myself grew up in Charlestown. I grew up in Charlestown until 1981 when I was 25 and moved to Ct. I enjoyed reading about the place I called home and description of the streets on which I hung out. I do think he did well with the Doyle brothers but missed some of the real emotion and feeling of being a Townie. He also used incorrect names for some places/things while used exact names of others so I was unsure if it was for legal reasons he changed names or was he just misinformed. I agree with other reviewers that he did not get gritty enough with the criminal side of the characters. I have recommended this book to other Townies as an enjoyable look at our home.
