I picked this book up at work. And begin reading that night. I ended up having to take the book and read it just to finish it. I was pulled in immediately.
The book is highly intense, and I was working with youth at the time so it was very reminiscent of some of there own problems. Ironically I could never understand why teenagers in treatment want to read a book about a teenager trying to kick a drug habit and having a pimp.
Either way the book was good for a young adult. It's something that adults would enjoy as well. It pulls you in and you relate to the characters presented in this book. Not that you have experienced what they are going though but that you can understand where they are coming from.
This is definitely a book that should be read.
