## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Shocking and brutally honest.  Glad I read it, though.
*by 2***S on December 17, 2019*

Great “Gen-X” read about clearly one of the toughest kids I’ve ever read about and a brutal history about a little part of Manhattan that’ll make the film Taxi Driver look like a Disney movie. This has some shocking moments, not for the faint of heart, but I found the writer’s brutal honesty refreshing and instructive. This book should be in every high school library but it never will because of the language, which is too bad because I can see teens learning a lot from this personal account of growing up hard, without apologies or preaching morality tales to anyone.

*by C***N on January 15, 2015*

Jim Carroll was a great writer especially considering the fact that most of this was written when he was a teenager. The seller sent this promptly and in perfect condition. This book is great and very deep and personal. It really teaches about things that can be very dangerous and unhealthy and how one can lose themselves in something they think they have control of. It tells a lot more than the film. If you like the film or didn't like the film you should enjoy the book. Great writer. Great seller experience.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing book
*by C***Y on December 18, 2022*

This book is a very well described portrayal of 1980’s New York. Husband loves it.
