Title: were they pulling her leg?
Review: First and foremost,the chick on the cover looks like Divine in "Desparate Living". Second, I never felt like Gini Sikes got a real feel for her topic - she reminded the reader repeatedly of her strong education and solid middle class upbringing, and i always got the sense that these 8 ball chicks and the male gang members were trying to impress her with their badness, and were exaggerating their stories incredibly. Sikes never seemed to know what was truth and what was hyperbole. with a topic like this, you at lest have to have a pretty good idea. Her bad girls were not clearly and vividly drawn, and her bad boys were down right one dimensional.The lack of realism was astonishing. Very, very disappointing.
