I don't think the authors quite made up their mind whether they were going to do a book about the 1920s in general, or a book about famous 1920s trials.

I could not finish this! It's very bogged down with alot of information about the 1920's and only a little about the trials themselves. I did find the Fatty Arbuckle chapter interesting though. I for some reason only ever heard bits and pieces about the crime and it wasn't as bad as I thought it to be. Poor guy!
