Inspiring coming of age story

This autobiography was thoughtfully written, and inspiring. I enjoyed learning about the authors personal growth from a young inner city adolescent, into the man he is today.

not a bad read

book was decent, im a lil biased because I come from Albany, so it was more of a nostalgia thing for me. but for a non Albanian it gives you a peak into the parts of the cap city that aren't represented often. decent read, definitely hope the author will expand more on the Albany experience in future works. this work is autobiography, but i believe a novel about Alb would work too, so many stories in a small city.

Great read. Deeply personal and relatable!

This is a great book about beating the odds when the cards of life are stacked up against you. The story embodies the power of perseverance and describes in great detail, exactly what can be accomplished when you refuse to settle for complacency. This book is extremely relatable to any young person faced with tough decisions and peer pressured. The author takes you an a deeply personal journey that captures your attention with every page. Great read for middle school and up.
