Dude, we're a good bit further than halfway through, and if this were the musical, we would only be about two thirds of the way through the first act. I can't imagine how Shulman is possibly going to pull this off, from a pacing perspective, and judging by the rest of the book, he won't be able to pull it off.

Why the hell do they keep saying 'spics' in the narration to refer to the Puerto Ricans? I mean, I get why it's in the Jets' dialogue, but when it's also IN THE NARRATION, it goes from natural expression from a character to outright racism.

Now we're at nearly three-quarters in, and if this was the musical, the first act wouldn't have ended yet. PACING. YOU DON'T HAVE IT.

"You know, I'm was just leaving," said Tony.
Funny. I'm was just ripping my kindle in half.

Jesus, nearly halfway through, and Tony and Maria haven't spoken a single line of dialogue to each other. This pacing is bizarre.

I don't think I've ever seen editing this terrible. TYPOS TO THE MAX!
