Mr. Hamill covers much ground in this wonderful biography of a city. He is able to give us a first hand impression of the abstract expressionists who thrived here in the 1940s and 50s, as well as bebop, jazz, the Beats who made Greenwich Village the “Village,” and many other old landmarks and legends. He integrates personal recollections along with historical observations for an outstanding mix of a memoir…and make no mistake, this is a memoir, of a city and a man who lives and breathes the city. While he waxes nostalgic, Hamill also believes that the city’s changes make her stronger.

The following 250 years trace Cormac as he witnesses and becomes part of the development of NYC. Watching him through the slave revolt, the War of Independence, the War of 1812, the great New York fire, the nineteenth century boomtimes and the tragic events of September 11th, we see Cormac experience life’s great emotions, love, loss, success and failure.

Combining a beautiful telling of Celtic mythology with a rich and vibrant civic history, Pete Hamill has created two truly remarkable characters…one is Cormac o’Connor and the other is the City of New York.

Read FOREVER and be glad that you did. It is certainly worth it.

Pete Hamill’s writing is a joy to read. Sometimes you need to read a book where there is a happy ending. His descriptions of New York City during the Depression actually outshine his characters and his charaters are really portrayed magnificantly, especially his main characters. This is a good read, no high brow stuff here, meat and potatoes love story New York style. But it is a love story of many people on different levels, not just two people in love. This is one of the few books I read as I was reading it there was an actual picture in my mind of what was going on. Many books you read you would rather not have a picture of the action. Again no great revelations here but a heart warming love story, on many different levels. Read it.
