5.0 out of 5 stars
Exciting like a thriller, a gangster's life story,
By sputnik (usa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: HOME OF THE BODY BAGS (Paperback)
For me as some one, who came to Los Angeles and has never been exposed to anything like street gangs, brutality, weapons in young peoples' hands, shootings, drug dealings, living from one day to another, not caring about the outcome of the actions, this book is one of the most exciting documents of gang banging, I've ever read. You will get an inside view first hand, and you will get an understanding of why do they (the gang banger) do what they do.
If you feel exhausted after reading this book, then you feel the same like me. I couldn't stop reading it. Home of the Body Bags makes you speechless, thinking, and sometimes even feel powerless, angry, and aggressive. I read Monster Kody's book, which I very much liked. But this book is a continuation on levels unpublished before. Terrell C. Wright is capturing your mind and keeps it for awhile after you went with him through his life. What's left is an immense knowledge about gang bangers and their philosophie, about the California prison system and its politics; and the question is that all necessary. Home of the Body Bags is the bomb.

You'll finish this book.,
This review is from: HOME OF THE BODY BAGS (Paperback)
I found the book to be a very authentic journey into the daily life of a gang member. The fears, bravado, inscurities and recklessness are there for all to see. But what most impressed me was Terrell Wright's intellect, the guy is obviously very bright and his ability to paint a clear picture for the reader is superb! The book is a page turner, and Terrell's use of metaphors and descriptive prose are excellent.
I have read "Monster" and also "Make Me Want to Holler" by Nathan McCall. Home of the Body Bag ranks with all the others. The difference is, for better or worse, Terrell Wright is an unapologetic gangsta!

By FRE$H (HERE AND THERE) - See all my reviews
This review is from: HOME OF THE BODY BAGS (Paperback)
...PROOF READER! Seriously, this book could have been a lot better, if only they would have employed someone to proof read the book before it was released to the public. There are too many grammatical errors to mention here, but because of the poor writing it was hard to finish the book. Otherwise it wasn't a total loss. It was relatively interesting, but certianly not as good as "Monster," or "My Bloody Life," both of which I would place at about 4 stars. That is of course, my own personal opinion, but read it for yourself. I'm sure you'll see what I'm talking about. P E A C E
