Homeboy (1990)

This book was awesome, from the very first sentence up to last. I didn't want it to end. Morgan paints a lyrical narrative of an unsavory slice of life that most of us won't have the misfortune to endure. The images and language throughout the book are vivid. Although it's a sad journey, you feel good reading it. If you can find a copy, you will not regret spending time with this book. ( )
