I find this book interesting. In life, we never get the opportunity to see the full views of a person who grew up in a gang. This book gives people the chance to understand the mind of a man who lived in a society where he dealt with discriminated and other ignorant things people in todays world do, but has still been able to come out at the top. The major reason why i liked the book and felt it was interesting was because it is based on a real story. Its not just a normal novel that has a basic beginning, middle and end. This is a very interesting yet complex novel that tells the readers a true story about life in the ghetto straight from a gang members experience.
