This book was well written. Mr. Gantner obviously has an intimate knowledge of San Francisco in general and in the Telegraph Hill/North Beach communities, specifically. The read reveals a generous imagination, a bountiful since of humor and a warm intimacy with the English language. Mr Gantner demonstrates a style that is intriguing and educational, both in the anticipation of what happens next and in challenging the reader’s vocabulary. I recommend it as a fast and exciting read but have your thesaurus nearby.
