This book is an amazing portrayal of what it's like to be an inner city kid. Drinking, drugs, and sex almost always come with the package, and even though it can be a little crude sounding or ghetto, living in an inner city is not all rainbows and flowers. The author did a good job of showing us what it's like to be in a broken family, and Tyrell crosses the line at drugs.

To be truthful - this book bored me. There was lots of swearing, references to drug and alcohol use, and criminal activities. The story line was - to me - kind of slow moving and the characters were realistic but, not part of my reality. I read it as a required part of a graduate class I'm taking.

(:OMG THE ONLY THING I HAV TO SAY IS READ TYRELL ITS WROTH THE TIME:))))

tyrell was the best book ever

It shows people what Tyrell has to go through in life. Many other people are like tyrell no-a-days. So what if it has bad words, violence, or sexual things in it. That's how the real world is, and people need to know that. They need to be strong enough to face it. Most kids are like Tyrell in many ways. for example, most kids are having sex, all kids are cursing, some are doing drugs or alcohol, and most kids are getting into fights or arguements. it's the truth and we need to face it and try to help them. all im saying is, this book is real and it's not one of those fairy-tale stories that are blinding people. chances are, if you think your child isn't already open with you about this kind of stuff, than their probably doing it. talk about it with your teen and ask your teen to explain if she/he agrees with the decisions Tyrell makes.

I Bet The Main Character Will Be WWE Superstar: MVP

I absolutely love this book : ) I just got done reading it last week and was soo mad when I finished it because i did not want to put it down. I hope there is a sequel or something. I do not recommend 12 yr olds and under to read this book though.

This book is full of disrespect for others and garbage.

I Loved This Book It is really interesting and parents need to read the book before they judge it because it's really not that bad
