Title: MY FAVORITE NON-FICTION BOOK EVER
Review: I have read this book from cover to cover twice and will surely read it again some day. It should be mandatory reading in high schools throughout this country, particularly in wealthy communities. Believe me, I am no bleeding-heart liberal, but the conditions these boys and their family had to live under should not be tolerated in a country of such wealth. The story is not without spirit and happiness, though, mainly because of the endless efforts of LaJoe, Pharoah and Lafayette's mother. I did find myself wishing that she wouldn't be so kind to every person who crossed her path, however, (the scene where the male relative pees his pants in the middle of Pharoah's party comes to mind). The is the best non-fiction book I have ever read, filled with wonderful details of daily life in the projects ( I loved LaJoe's grocery list!). Everyone should read this book!
