I read about this book on Amazon's Top 100 list. It received great reviews, so I checked it out through GA Pines.
This was the biography of a brilliant young man (not too much younger than myself) that grew in in East Orange, NJ. His father was in prison most of his life, while his mother raised him. Robert was a brilliant student who ended up getting a full-ride to Yale ultimately to return to a difficult life in Orange after his graduation.
What a troubled life this man had. Heavily into drug use and drug dealing. In the end, he was gunned down in a brutal murder. What a sad sad existence...
Difficult to read, hard to put down... I have mixed feelings about this book.
