I have always been intrigued with this book. I think because it is so compelling to teenagers, but it talks about the character's exploits very frankly, and on a deep level. I am curious why the main character (what is his name?) decided to join the gang. Was it because of where he lived? What his friends were doing? He didn't have anything else to do? I am also curious about the O.G. status; what does that mean for him? Does this give him more power, respect, responsibility? Thanks for sharing!
