Title: The Truth is boring
Review: Alex Kotlowitz could have written a book about anyone in the United States and it would have been the same story. The book was uneventful, but it does show the inside track to the ghettos in Chicago. Character development was handed to the reader on a silver platter. It was a 9th grade level book. However, Kotlowitz did show courage and originality in his untainted description of the lives of the two young boys. I commend him for his adventures, but it just wasn't extremely exciting or outrageous.
