This is probably one of my favorite books. The story is especially heartbreaking because it's a real look at the world of so many kids - violence, gangs, drugs, poverty and there is no break in the cycle as they grow up. On a side note, I'm steamrolling through "The Wire" on DVD right now (through seasons 1 and 2) which takes a similar look on drugs, crime, and apparently in an upcoming season, education.
