Title: Inside the Crips
Review: This book is by and large a terrible read. The editing is poor and the story suffers from it. The book is hard to read, do to the inability of the author or the editors to maintain the characters identities. For instance Monster Kody the author of his own auto-biography is refered to as Big Buster, Monster Ken and Monster Kody. Sometimes various gang monikors applied to a single character appear in consecutive paragraphs leaving the reader confused forcing you to scramble back and verify that you have not missed a sentence or two. The same occurs when the identity of Huckabuck from the Rollin 60s is merged with a character of the same name from Harlem 30s. When Huckabuck is discussed and later dies, the reader is not informed which of the two characters we are reading about. I would suggest buying this book at a discounted price or check it out of the library but don't waste your money buying it at full price.
