I probably shouldn't say this because I'll never get rid of this book, but it's one of the worst books I've ever read. I didn't finish it, which is very very rare for me. I didn't even like the reader's voice!

The sort-of protagonist is a hapless loser who gets robbed with a friend who gets shot and killed. Most of the book consists of the police harrassing this poor sap. There is not a single likeable character in the whole book. There is lots and lots of street slang - a lot of which would require a translator. That it is not an improbable story is a sad commentary on our world, but, frankly, I don't want to spend my time hearing about it.
