Title: Strange reality
Product review: I had to read Monster for one of my college courses. While reluctant to do so at first, I pretty much glided through the pages. The movies you've seen on the ghetto, the rap lyrics you've heard about the projects... well, they just don't compare to this! Brutality doesn't even begin to describe the lifestyles of these young gang members. Human nature at its worst. This book basically writes about an ongoing war within the concrete jungle that is being fought by teens, young adults and even pre-teens! It's a scary insight into the tragedy that is the American nightmare. Sometimes the book jumps from one section to another in a rather strange fashion, but it's still relatively easy to follow, unlike the alliances of the inner city gangs. A shocking book on a subject not many are willing to discuss. This is as close as one can get into the L.A. gang activity without being in harm's way!
