If it's any type of bio, I'm usually hooked. This was no exception. Only touching briefly on the early years, we then go straight to his first race for mayor. A losing effort to the honorable David Dinkens. The next one would begin the ascension of Rudy. Problem is this book ends before 9/11, after which his name became more in the forefront, deservedly or not, not imo. The book ends about halfway into Rudys second term. Must have been a deadline to meet. He would go on to enter the 2008 presidential race, only to drop out after a few primaries, if I remember correctly. The book is good, just ends too soon.
Grade - B
