I didn't love this, but I did like it better than the other Ellison book I read. Most of the time I didn't care for the story, but the chapters detailing Rusty's grief were really well done. (view spoiler)

If you're interested in reading about violent street gangs and juvenile delinquents in the fifties (and really, why wouldn't you be?), I highly recommend Teen-age Mafia instead.
