A Bare Bones Coming of Age Story in NY Streets
A harrowing juxtaposition. Both an innocent coming of age story and a dark street tale of drugs, sex and crime. New York City and the 1960s social and political climate serving as the perfect backdrop.

Not a bad book
Great to hear from the horse's mouth and he reads well. But it feels like scattered pages read one after another with no closing. It just stops like as if pages are missing at the end. I'm sure there's a reason for it but it's still too foreign to me.

poorly narrated
this is living proof that the writer shouldn't always narrate the book, not only is it read poorly, it's seems like it was really poorly recorded too. it's hard to know if it's poorly written cos it's just so bad. I would have returned it but it sat in my library for ages before I listened and I wasn't able to return or something like that, hard to remember but what is straight fact is, this is trash. don't do it!!
