review 1: The summer before my senior year in high school I was tasked with reading this book and writing a short essay on my thoughts rergarding it. My prize for winning was the opportunity to meet and dine with R. Dwayne Betts at the local college who sponsored the contest. Not only is this book powerful and thought-provoking, but the author is genuinely sincere about his experiences and how he learned from them both on paper and in real life. This book will make you take a long, hard look about your life, and more importantly, how it effects others.
review 2: i read this book in curiosity of how a inmate changes while incarcerated. i was hoping to see a real insight to the life and hardships of being locked up. i was disappointed. this book is full of repetitive ideas
... more and nothing about the "learning, survival and coming of age in prison" like promised. he goes into little detail nor vague stories of his daily life. i assumed the book would make me cry and would somehow touch me in a way i would have sympathy. but after reading this book i felt nothing, just bored. less
