Reviewed by Lucy SkyDie Seiten des Buches sind in Gedichtform angeordnet, weshalb pro Seite wenige Sätze stehen. Für mich ist diese Art nichts. Trotzdem beeindruckt es mich, dass trotz so weniger Worte so viel gesagt werden kann. Im Buch geht es um einen Jungen, dessen Bruder erschossen wird und der sich nun fragt, ob er Rache nehmen soll. Es geht um Gang-Kriminalität und wie schwer es ist (soziale) Kreise zu durchbrechen.
