I am pretty intrigued by the gangster lifestyle. Coming from a functional family and being a pretty easy-going and peaceful person, I can't relate to the feelings of loneliness, anger, dysfunction, and the hunger for power that leads many of these kids (sometimes as young as 8) into the loving arms of a gang.
This book is not light reading; it doesn't have a happy, feel-good ending and the story is just plain and simply difficult to process. Follow it up with a nice "interview" with the author on You Tube and you are in for a shocking revelation - war is going on right here in our own country... that is when I look for my rose colored glasses... where are those damn things?
