I enjoyed this book though I did feel the length somewhere around past page 200. I picked this one up and read it because Fran Lebowitz recommended it on that Scorsese HBO documentary. Besides the fact that I frankly hate her writing, I do like hearing her talk, so I decided to check out the recommendation. I was not disappointed the book did hook me immediately. However, the street pidgin started to wear on me somewhere around after page number two hundred as well. Other than that, I liked it and am glad I read it. I would recommend this to a reader who's looking for something substantial to read, this is not light reading. ( )

too violent ( )

Some where in all my moves have lost this book, much to my regret. The story had a profounc impact on me at the time I read it. The social issues presented and those of the middle 60s, when I read it, galvanized my understanding of and importance of the social issues of both times. It was a book and story I dearly loved and miss not being in my library. ( )
