Featured review
Good imagination.
I used to love this series growing up. But as I got older I knew most of it was false. No way was Ness going around slapping gangsters, and talking down to them. Ness wanted to be important again, so he wrote this mostly fictional account. The IRS brought Capone down, not Ness. Read the true story. All in all this was light entertainment.
