Casey Wheeler ，

This book will be of interest in anyone who has an interest in the history of New York City。 The author covers a large number of areas around the city and how they came about to have the names that they do。 His writing style is engaging and humorous at times。 Overall， a very enjoyable read。I received a free Kindle copy of this book courtesy of Net Galley and the publisher with the understanding that I would post a review on Net Galley， Goodreads， Amazon and my nonfiction book review blog。 I also This book will be of interest in anyone who has an interest in the history of New York City。 The author covers a large number of areas around the city and how they came about to have the names that they do。 His writing style is engaging and humorous at times。 Overall， a very enjoyable read。I received a free Kindle copy of this book courtesy of Net Galley and the publisher with the understanding that I would post a review on Net Galley， Goodreads， Amazon and my nonfiction book review blog。 I also posted it to my Facebook page。 。。。more
