I've had this book on my reading list since it was first published. Remember hearing an interview on NPR. It's an intimate look at a completely different socioeconomic group - as compared to white, middle class me. It follows four teens in the Bronx and gave me a better understanding - albeit disappointing - of the failures of the "system" and the vicious cycles that trap generations upon generations in repeating the past. Book club.
