Title: This book is amazing and very moving.
Review: Once I started reading this book, I couldn't put it down. There is energy and emotion and love on every page. Every story of crime and punishment is ultimately about human beings and this book is so filled with humanity that I came away feeling both love and anger about Salvador Agron and huge respect for his good friend and collaborator Richard Jacoby, who kept his promise to Sal to tell his story. Whether Salvador committed the crime he is accused of isn't the point of this book at all, in fact Jacoby takes no position on this matter. Instead, he just tells us--and allows Sal's own words to tell us--the whole story of his tragedies and triumphs. If there's a moral to Sal's story, it is this: let's treat our children beter and prevent the horrors that sent Sal to prison. Let's make our schools better so that the lessons Sal learned in jail, he could have learned in school. Read this book. It is well worth your time.
