2.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Fiction book about Charles Ponzi, December 7, 2001

This review is from: Ponzi!: The Boston swindler (Hardcover)

The fact is, here aren't many books out there about Ponzi and his scheme. Dunn's book has been around since 1975 and is a "novelistic" approach to Ponzi's life and scheme. It is a fun read and I recommend it. There are also some great, now hard to find, black and white photos of Ponzi in the book. This book should have 5 stars. Somehow my review shows only 2.
