This is a wonderful book. It is not like any other novel you will read, i would say it is the literary equivalent of a fly on the wall documentary, a sort of reality literature, where empathy is achieved not through some trick or twist or melodrama but through painstaking attention to detail and brutal honesty.

The (straight) answer to any fool who says you can't use "fiction" to tell the truth. Proof that before you can pass it on, you have to pass through it. A beautiful tightrope walk over a true hell on earth ... a tightrope you can't walk with your eyes closed.
Although the book is fiction, it reads like journal account of nonfiction. It is an eye opener to daily lives of street people and raises some questions about what is the best way to help people who can't always ask for help.
