| This was an interesting book. Although, Tookie never really changed his ways. He still shot called and ran things from his cell, and even acted as if he'd backed away from gang life, so he could have his sentence changed from "death" to "life" in prison. He even went as far as to have his white boyfriend (a Prison Inmate tookie was having sexual relations with)walk with him to his execution, instead of one of his crip comrads.. |

| I bought this book for a friend, but on closer review, realized it is applicable to a lot of relationships. It is one of the BEST books I've EVER read. Not only useful, but intriguing and I love this author! Very digestible and comforting. I highly recommend it to all, co-dependent or not. In fact, I'm insisting even my non-parent friends read it. |

| I find it interesting that the author would make such a wonderful effort to help children, after having murdered parents. I wonder if he sent autographed free copies to the children of the people he murdered.
I also find it interesting, that in over 20 years on death row, he was only able to write a handful of "children's books". That these books would find their way into our public school systems, where this man takes on the role of Martyr and Folk Hero, speaks volumes about our ... Read More: |

| My second grader just read this book to me. Tookie writes that he made many mistakes growing up and wishes he could undo many of them. He regrets he ever founding the Crips and admits he was bully. He writes that guns are never good things to bring to school and why (even toy guns are bad to bring to school). Tookie writes about the sadness of the deaths of his best friends due to weapons. Tookie was punished with the death penalty for the heinous crimes he was accused of doing. I believe these are insightful books from an insiders ... Read More: |

| My students have more elevating literature to read. This particular piece of "literature" belongs rolled around on that little cardboard roll which one finds at the middle of a toilet tissue roll. Nice name - "Tookie." It figures this book is raved about by every neo-socialist NY Times reading liberal out there! |

| I found this book both insulting and a waste of time. I read it ony because of the hype on the media behind the whole Tookie circus. |

| It seems that the so-called reviewers in this space are not real reviewers but people who want to condemn the man who's already condemned for his violent past. He has paid the price. He's dead. Tookie sought redemption and part of that was to keep others from entering the life of gangs. This book and others he wrote talk to kids before they enter gang life. They are heartfelt and come from the mind and heart of one who lived it, who knew it as the rest of us never could.
Tookie finally got over his own anger. He knew what he did, and ... Read More: |
