Al Capone Hardcover
$29.99
Based on truth, lies, myths, and rumors, this is the story of the greatest gangster of all time: Al Capone. Family man, community leader, industrious smuggler, or vicious killer? You decide.
Born into a poor Italian family in Brooklyn in 1899, little Alphonse didn’t have a lot of options, so he’d have to get creative in order to make a name for himself. A bit of cards, some enforcing, maybe a little protection are a great start. A man’s gotta provide for his family, capisce? But, when prohibition starts up in 1920, Al Capone will discover his golden ticket to untold fame and fortune.
Now, nobody’ll ever forget the name Capone.

Grant W. Laird Jr. –
I had no prior knowledge of Al Capone’s history, other than that he was a notorious gangster in Chicago during the 1920s. The book is 172 pages long and is full of color illustrations. The artwork is simply stunning, with incredible detail in the buildings and people of old downtown Chicago. The characters are all drawn in a unique style that is both odd and charming. I particularly enjoyed the crayon-like style of the comic strips.I read it on my 32-inch monitor, and the full-color eBook was a feast for the eyes. The artwork was so vivid and lifelike that I felt like I was right there in the middle of the action. The story was engaging and suspenseful, and I couldn’t put the it down.At the end of the book, it is revealed that this “biography” is actually a mix of fiction and real-life stories. While this may disappoint some readers, I found it to be an interesting and unique approach to telling Al Capone’s story. After all, we will never know the full truth about his life, so why not enjoy a fictionalized account?Overall, I highly recommend Al Capone to anyone who enjoys a good story, stunning artwork, or a bit of history. I give it 10 out of 10 stars.
