I tried really hard to get into this. The first chapter was extraordinary, but the next few didn't come close to matching it. I skipped ahead and read a couple other breathtaking chapters, including The Warp on the Loom and The Meat Ax. I'm sorry, but Robert Moses was just too much of an ass for me to dedicate over a thousand pages of reading. The extra stars are for Caro's ambition and the quality of his writing.
