Leave your thoughts about Koch.
| AALBC.comKam WilliamsThe rise and fall from grace of a good Jewish boy gone bad who ostensibly sold out the Big Apple but never summoned up the courage to come out of the closet. |
| New York PostLou LumenickKoch ends with the former mayor showing off a typically flamboyant gesture that embodies his contradictions - choosing to be buried in a Christian cemetery in his beloved Manhattan, complete with an already erected tombstone proclaiming his Jewish identity. |
| ComingSoon.netEdward DouglasA great look at the history of [New York City] and a pivotal turning point when things changed so drastically. |
| Newark Star-LedgerStephen WhittyI wish other questions had been asked, and pushed, and a lot more context provided. |
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaHe was certainly combative, and confident, and full of love for the city he governed with such gusto. Koch is a New York story for the whole world to appreciate. |
| Birth.Movies.Death.Jordan HoffmanEven if he stomped on your special interest you can't deny that he did it with a sui generis verve that mixed region-specific curmudgeon-ism and impish joie de vivre |

| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanAs a politico, Ed Koch loved power a little too much. But as a leader, he was a storybook embodiment of New York's contradictions, which is why his chapters in the city's saga loom so large. |
