Customer Reviews

Great book it hit the spot

I was in a gang and sence reading this book I been dressing like a civilized person and my selfesteem and grades have improved. I thank Mr. Knox for this book it has helped myself and my family and everything in his book is so true.

Eye-opening and truthful perspective about life.

Mike Knox has his finger on the pulse of America's youth. The book describes in detail how to recognize gangs and gang behavior but also lets us know what we as adults need to do to help recover these children from such a life. As an educaror I recommend this book to all of my colleagues and to all school districts, because as Mr. Knox informs us this is a national problem not just an urban problem.

My friends parents should read this book!

I'm a fourteen year old in the eighth grade. After reading this book I became aware of some of my friends that met the criterias of gangsters. So I sarted to stay away from them and they asked me why. I told them about the book and one of them has started to get out of the gamg. The others are a little bit interested in the book but won't admit it. This book is so good and has helped me so much I want to share it with my friends parents. I would like to thank Mr.Knox for writing this book because it helped me and so far one of my friends. I give this book 5 stars.

BRUTALLY HONEST

A realistic, eye opening approach to teaching parents and guardians about a fact of life ... gang members do exist ... let's make sure they are not living under your roof ... For those in "denial" ... look at the pictures. Author Mike Knox gives you the facts. Do yourself a favor ... learn from him ... Julie

This book was very insightful.

This book was very imformative. It out lined the every thing that some one would want to know about gangs and its members. As an as[piring Sociologist this book gave me a vivid view.
