Tayshawn Torres is a child born in the slums and cursed by the sins of his parents. His mother is a notorious drug addict and whore who's more concerned with getting her next high than she is with Tayshawn's well-being. His stepfather hates him so much, he literally treats him like an animal, forcing him to sleep in a cage and scavenge for scraps of food wherever he can find them.

Story flowed nicely
Where does Gangsta rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It would rank somewhere in the middle.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
I always love when a book has rounded, well developed, relatable characters. This book had likeable characters that you don't always agree with. Also, the ending was a bit unpredictable.
Which character – as performed by Cary Hite – was your favorite?
Gutta...hands down!
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The ending
Any additional comments?
There were some supernatural elements that were not explained. I wish they would have gone into detail and explained what was going on. I am looking forward to the next book.
