review 1: For anyone serious about tackling the violence in the Black community, this book might just be the most important and eye-opening book you can read! Not that you're going to agree with everything that's written, but you will definitely not be able to look at drug or gang-fostered violence the same way again. Mr. Kennedy does not seem to care about who agrees or disagrees with his conclusions, he tells it straight as he sees it, but more importantly, he offers a real and proven solution. It's his brash honesty that is the basis of his authenticity, unlike so many who claim to genuinely care about finding a solution but are really only interested in furthering their own personal agenda.
review 2: The author is trying too hard to write. What is an interesting and ... moreperhaps vital message about strategies to reduce urban gun violence gets completely lost due to the author's interest in spinning a story of the metamorpheses of his own thinking on the subject. I suspect I am not the only reader who comes to this subject with a lot more interest in Kennedy's ideas and less interest in his attempts to bring drama to think-tank meetings and police superintendent offices. less
