This book touches more on interviews of young gang members, but with very vague story line's. She never tells what gang or exact set each person she interveiws is from, just affiliation, Blood or Crip. I don't know why this is important but after reading Monster: autobiography of an LA gang member it gives it a more in depth perception of the person. Also she never really gets into the politics of gang bangin, such as the fractions in crips or the difference between a neighborhood crip and a gangster crip. In the book there is a part where she is interviewing two crips from different sets and one of them is intimidating the other and constantly correcting the other, she thinks it's because one of them is older, but if it were known what set (gang) each of them is from it could be their sets could be at war with one another. For a better in depth look on gang bangin read Monster by Sanyika Shakur.
