THE PHILADELPHIAN

AS SOMEONE BORN AND RAISED IN THE AREA, I CAN RELATE TO THIS STORY IN MORE WAYS THAN THOSE FROM OUTSIDE OF MAINLINE PHILADELPHIA BUT THE STORY IN AND OF ITSELF IT GREAT. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK.

A wonderful read!!

I really enjoyed this book. Although written 50 yrs ago, it is still timely and interesting. An original Philadelphian myself, I enjoyed the local references. I would highly recommended it.
