Negative Positive
Title: This book sucks big time, mad stupid, another slum novel.
Review: I hate this novel, superficial, misleading and full of despair. Noir in the worst taste. The hero never realizes that once you dishonor yourself you have hurt yourself and your community. The reparations are not to set up detox clinics while still selling drugs. The hero "takes down" the lawer and the cunning Vera but he does it because they killed Willie Bodega, a "nice" organized crime hancho, from whom the hero had gotten favors. The hero, a college student speaks spanglish ghetto ebonics, hmmm. All the time. There is that marvelous twist toward the end but the reader has no hint at it, it just comes out of the blue.
