A quick easy read. Very gritty with a touch too much violence for my liking. It so beyond my experience of being a child/kidult in the late 90s and early 2000s.

Gritty. Savage. Interesting use of street language. Most people will watch the movie and skip this book.

It was OK, in the most part of the book. The beginning was shocking. But the end screwed it up, I expected more of it :/
