A Good Day to Die is a thought-provoking look into gang violence in Gary. The Vice Lords and Gangster Disciples square off in a winner takes all, do or die, non-stop brawl.

I'm from Gary, In and to read this book was exciting. The trueness and details expressed were on cue. I was able to relate to everything that was talked about. I felt like I was able to go into the lives of the people and choose who I wanted to win. I cried, laughed and even went to listen to my old music because it brought back so many memories. This is the most compelling book I have ever read. You have to read it more than once. The book was delivered in less than a week in perfect condition. Warning: this book is not meant for the faint at heart.
