I love this book because i use to listen to tupac wit my dad and i remeber my father telling me he died but i think is good for me to read because i'm there age and i know a little bit how they feel because i feel sometime i have no parent to help me but if i look back my ma and dad give me the freedom i need as my age so i understand this book really well but i think it bit be a good book for 11 year olds if they are not mature then don't let them read it because if you live in the southside or where ever i think it would be a good book i really was interested in so i hope if you look at what i thought about this book that you can take my word for it so i know some people takes my word so yea that's what i think about my book.
