Do yourself a favor and pass on this piece of garbage . I also bought the hype of NYTimes Best Seller.  Goes to show you some people have really bad taste.  The story was promising and could have been exciting without the awful dialog.  It seems like the author was being paid by the word - too much repetition, entire scenes which added nothing to the story, etc.  I would NEVER purchase another book by this author.  Glad it's over and this ones in the trash can...  Charli

Who is this about? . I bought and read this book for a class and found it very difficult to take much away from. The accounts are potentially very enlightening, but the author's writing style obfuscates their values. Her interjection of her own personal stories into the work was sloppy and often left me unsure of who I was reading about. While I don't know of any other book which tells these stories, there are many other books that contain similar accounts which are far more effective

A WONDERFUL BOOK  FOR ALL AGES . Al Capone Does My Shirts is a fiction story about a boy, Matthew Flannegan "Moose" and his family who live on Alcatraz. Moose is faced with many challenges throughout his childhood including having to take care of his older sister, Natalie, who has autism. Whatever the challenge though moose always finds a way to over come it.   This book is wonderful for all ages- children and adults. I highly recommend this book to people who like to read books that have many adventures.  Gennifer Choldenko is an amazing author and I plan on reading more of her books. IF i loved it you probably will too.
