Title: Like a smack upside the head
Review: I saw the movie and years later picked up the book and I can say that if the movie was too much for you then the book will alternately make you cry and cringe. I have no idea if this is a true story or not--if it is, I can imagine that there must have been some very angry people in and around New York when the book came out. Relatives or other inmates of Wilkerson should have come forward to confirm or deny the story. Relatives of the victim who was hit by the hotdog cart should've come forward.Apparently none of these things happened so I don't feel comfortable calling the book a memoir but frankly, it almost (but not quite which is why I can't give it 5 stars) doesn't matter. This a towering book of probably part fact and part fiction (the trial scenes are imposible) that you will not forget. Carcaterra is a brilliant writer and the book is worth every penny. For me, that's the bottom line.
