A review by abaugher
Tyrell by Coe Booth

5.0

in total new york ghetto vernacular, this book is raw and deeply touching from the first page. the life troubles just keep hitting this young man (barely past being a kid himself) all the way to the end.
combined with human faults, his almost childlike nobility makes him a very impressive protagonist, one that i could identify with in the sense that i could see how he could make mistakes the same way that the rest of us do. and, occasionally, make the right choice against the odds.
