Title: I was disappointed
Review: I was looking forward to reading this book based on articles in the local papers about Mr. Arts, but boy, was I disappointed! It's full of anachronistic stereotypes (Irish cops who call each other "mick" [in late 20th century Passaic County??], evil Hispanic drug dealers with no morals) and the descriptions of violence are unnecessarily extreme. The main storyline was pretty humdrum. I was surprised that none of the parents in town seemed to mind that it was required reading at Clifton High. -I gave my copy away.
