    LESSONS FROM BEHIND BARS.

    WHAT A GREAT BOOK. I ENJOYED READING THIS BOOK ALOT. AND I MUST SAY THAT IT WAS AN EYE OPENER TOO. IT JUST GOES TO SHOW YOU THAT YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT REALLY GOES ON BEHIND THOSE IRON BARS. BUT DONALD GOINES PAINTS A PERFECT PICTURE FOR YOU IN THIS NOVEL. WHEN THE MAIN CHARACTER IS SENT TO JAIL, GOINES TAKES YOU THROUGH THE DAILY INS AND OUTS OF TRYING TO SURVIVE. I WAS SHOCKED AT THE END OF THE STORY. IT JUST GOES TO SHOW YOU THAT YOU NEVER EVER REALLY KNOW A PERSON. YOU CAN THINK AND BELIEVE A PERSON IS YOUR FRIEND, BUT WHEN THEIR BACK IS UP AGAINST THE WALL, OR IF THEY HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN SOMETHING FOR YOU, OR THEMSELVES, LOOK OUT BECAUSE THERE WILL SURELY BE A SUPRISE FOR YOU AT THE END. A GREAT READ. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE.

    Excellent...unmatched

    Excellent depiction of urban street crime. Many modern novels have fallen short, but Goines remains the undisputed writer of true-to-life urban crime and the perils of street life. The closest novel to date has been 'Masks of the Darkest American Game' which is about life on the streets during the eighties and early nineties.

    Outstanding and detailed book on the US prison system

    This book was on point even though it isn't better than Whoresome (which is a classic). But this is a must purchase if you're looking for the inside story on race relations that connects with the American judicial system and how Blacks/Latinos were treated differently than whites. Also, this book displayed a great job of character relationship between the prisoners in which details the harsh reality of settling in the prison population. Peace
