I started this not really sure what I was getting into, but by the end can absolutely see what all the fuss is about - this is a really important book. It really makes you think: bringing gang culture to life and helping you see the stories behind those involved, how good people can get themselves wrapped up in a bad situation with no real way out.

This is definitely a comfort book for me. It was a book I was required to read in middle school and was hesitant at first because at the time it's not something I'd have picked for myself but once we started reading it I quickly fell in love with the story and the characters. I will recommend this book time and time again.
