I thought this book was very good at showing how it accually is to live on the streets, because they talked to real people. I also like the way that they discribed the conditions that they had to live in so good. Maria was very good at talking to the people like they were haveing a regular converstion so it felt like you were there with them. It was also helpful that they had a glossery in the back of the book so if you didnt know what a street term ment,you could look it up and you would know what the gang members were talking about and/or discribing. Over all I think this book is worth while and I would suggest it to everyone intrested.

This book really made me think a lot about what a "loose cannon" really goes through to get how they are. Usually, the media exploits these types of people and they don't talk about how they got this way... But in this book, they tell you about their lives and how they get to the point where they are at and what they want in the future. Maria really did a good job and let the boys and girls speak their mind. Once you read this book, you will start to understand the Crew members and the atmosphere that they live in.So check it out because its something that will elevate your thinking about other human beings.
