My son doesn’t like reading but enjoyed this book. The topic really interested him and had lots of facts which helped at school.

Interesting book. Full of detail about Capone, nice illustrations help too.I got more out of it than the target recipient who's 12.If you're a fan of old gangster movies, you'll probably enjoy this.

This is a brilliant insight into the life of the most nautorious gangster . This is more a book for a child than a adult but a very intresting insight into his life . It contains the main points of his life and is extremly intresting.I certainly learnt a lot from this book so if i was you i would go out and buy this book .

This is a great book,maybe written more like a chrildren's book,but then all the facts you wanted to know are so simple to get to,with lots of diagrams to help out too-so simplistic...
