Title: gang members and books ?
Review: How do you get a gang member or potential gang member to read a book?? If troubled youth don't really care for books, how was Tookie really reaching them?My mom has worked in south central libraries for 25 years. We saw gangmembers doing many things, but I cannot say that reading was one of them. In fact as I recall from school days many had reading difficulties, poor vocabulary, and inability to concentrate......On top of that, Tookie himself said if someone had approached him with books like these, as a young person, he probably would have rejected them..........are books the right medium?
Is the review positive or negative?
