really liked it
bookshelves: kindle, ebook

Although I have not finished reading the "extra" material (short story basis for the novel plus two other stories), I'm going to mark this complete for now. As a huge fan of Harlan Ellison, it was exciting to read his first novel.

This was an enjoyable but dark and gritty story of a teen trying to escape his gang ties, and his plans to get out go off the rails when a murder shakes him to his foundations. Kind of like a cross between West Side Story (without the romance) and Kids (without most of the parties). Felt very believable, and had a satisfying conclusion.
