Excellent review. I agree with you - I'm not too sure how David was simply a "victim of society" when he chose to sell drugs for a living. I think people need to take responsibility for where they are in life, especially if they can do something to fix it.

Thanks for the review. I am interested in a lively autobiography and I would love to read this. It is unfortunate that the author still blames the society for his woes.

Yes, I love a good autobiography - it's a shame this one lets itself down a bit. Thanks for commenting :)

Unfortunately, the book reads a bit too much like a diary that simply chronicles events; there is insufficient depth of insight or descriptive detail.
It is disappointing when a book leaves you wondering what the author meant to convey. I'm sure you struggled to get through it.

I suppose the author might benefit from some self-awareness? LOL! It does seem like an interesting read, though. Thanks for the review!
