Hole in My Life by Jack Gantos

3.0

This is a good mini-memoir, and, even though Gantos is a children's author, he doesn't sugar coat his criminal past or experiences on prison in order to tie the book up with a neat "lesson." I'm glad that Gantos put his voice out there. Although Gantos managed to turn his life around, this isn't a ringing endorsement of the US justice system. It recounts Gantos's personal experiences while also showing us that the US criminal justice system is too off broken and breaks the humans it's supposed to be remediating.
