Bronxwood by Coe Booth

3.0

The strength of this book is also its weakness - the realist portrayal of the book's narrator Tyrell and his life. While Tyrell is facing many difficult decisions, he seems to be making too many of the wrong choices. While this a book my own students would read because they seem their own lives in it, that may be a reason for them not to read it. It does not show an alternative to the lives they are faced with, only more of the same, but maybe that changes in the rest of the series.
