Jim Carroll is truly a gifted writer. His diary brings the New York City streets of the mid-60's to life. His vivid descriptions of growing up as a street wise kid on the mean city streets clearly paint a picture of the period.

This the best book that I have ever read. Jim Carroll has taken something so ugly and awful and made it beautiful. The movie was awful.Read the book.
