3 stars (not so good) - Mahler writes for a magazine and he doesn't make any accomodation for a longer project. Pretty thin presentation. 4 stars (Ladies and Gentlemen the Bronx is burning) - This is a very entertaining and well researched book about the events in the New York in 1977. 5 stars (A Great Read!) - You do not have to be a New Yorker to like Jonathan Mahler's "Ladies and Gentlemen, the Bronx is Burning." I live in the rural South, and really loved the book. Anyone who loves baseball, history, politics, New York, the late 1970's, or just good writing will thoroughly enjoy this book. My wife and I both loved this book. I am old enough to remember what we in Georgia thought of the Big Apple in that critical year of both bad news and hope. To know how the various story lines actually played out only enhances the fun of knowing what a mess things were in 1977. ...
