  2. I Enjoyed this book alot becuase my dad told me alot of stories that were kind of similar to what yummy was going through. His mom was really never there for my dad & my dad got into the gang when he was a little just like yummy. My Favortite part about "yummy" was when he showed Roger the frog that he had becuase that showed that even though he was a gangmember he still was a 11 year old boy. My least favorite part of the book was when yummy got shot becuase no 11 year old kid should get killed that kind of way. In my opinion i think that this book has no weaknesses. I would recomend this book becuase not alot of people know what its like to live a life in a bad neighborhood & how it could effect the rest of someones life.

  3. I definately enjoyed this book because i know a lot of people who joined gangs at a young age. This book kind of reminded me of me and my cousins we used to a lot of bad things when we grew up in the city that i regret. My favorite part of the book is when Yummy slept with his teddy bear. It showed me that there was still a kid in that body. And my least favorite part would have to be Yummys death. No kid should be killed that way. I hate that his future was taken away. The strenght of this book would have to be the pictures they were so deep. They showed so many things that went on in every picture. I believe there are no weaknesses. I would definately recommend this book because it was easy to read, great novel, and a story you can get a lot of knowledge from.

  4. @ Eliza-
    I agree with you because it is good to know about other people's lives and backgrounds and the type of things that they have done or did. Thats why I also like the book.

  5. @ Jose- I agree with you, becuase i grew up in the city to & it isn't easy. To many gangmembers walking around everywhere. & when your little you always look up to anyone. & if you look up to a gangmember your life is going to be hell.

  6. I enjoyed this book because I can relate to the things that happened to Yummy. My favorite part in the book was when Yummy showed Gary's brother the frog. I liked this part because it still showed that even though Yummy is a gangbanger he still acts like a kid. My least favorite part was when Derrek & his brother took him in the car and shot him. I don't like it because they kill him like he was a dog. The strengths of this book is when Yummy took everything like a man even though he was young and the weakeness was when they took advantage of him. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone because I feel no one reminds me of the book.
