Title: A good portrayal
Product review: I love this new series by Cornwell. I think it is a nice change from the Kay Scarpetta series which was getting to be too much of the same thing. The thing I liked best about Southern Cross was Cornwell's depiction of a young man who becomes involved with Smoke and his gang. I work with delinquent youth, many of whom are involved in gangs. As I read Southern Cross, I realized how difficult it is for kids to break away from a gang once they become involved. Even if you don't like this new series, it's worth the read just to see the types of pressures today's youth are facing.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
