I extremely do not recommend this book for anyone sensitive to stalking/assault. Parts are very hard to read.sherbertwells's review against another edition

“[The wind] did everything it could to discourage the people walking along the street. It found all the dirt and dust and grime on the sidewalk and lifted it up so that the dirt got into their noses, making it difficult to breathe; the dust got into their eyes and blinded them; and the grit stung their skins” (2)
“You’d sell your old grandmother if you had one, he told himself. Yes. I’d sell anything I’ve got without stopping to think about it twice, because I don’t intend to learn how to crawl again. Not for anybody” (227).
In the grand scheme of things, these are minor gripes. If you choose to focus on The Street as a text rather than a book, you’ll have a good time. Or be completely horrified. In either case, Petry will have succeeded.
