10 Books To Read if You Love 'Boardwalk Empire'
For fans of the HBO series Boardwalk Empire, we recommend books like Live by Night, The Great Gatsby, and Manchild in the Promised Land.
Boardwalk Empire is one of the best and most essential crime shows ever. It follows real American gangsters during the Prohibition era, through the 1920s and 1930s, documenting their rise and fall in battles of domination in the bootlegging, drugs, and gambling fields. Nucky Thompson (Steve Buscemi) – changed from real-life Johnson – a notorious Atlantic City mobster, is the main character, but the story also follows the likes of Al Capone (Stephen Graham), Lucky Luciano (Vincent Piazza), Meyer Lansky (Anatol Yusef), and Chalky White (Michael K. Williams).
