Sleepers By Lorenzo Carceterra

[MH Mijolnir]

I got this book from my ma, who found it at school because a teacher was gonna throw it away! Can you believe that, what kind of a teacher throws away books?

Anyways though, I thought it was a very good book, for a lot of different reasons. Its non-fiction, and a story of kids growing up in Hells Kitchen in the sixties. They get into trouble and end up in juvie.

Stuff happens.

And I'd give it 4-5/5 stars. Anybody else read it?

Carcaterra is one of my heros. Yay. I throughly enjoyed the book.

Isn't the title: Sleepers? I think you forgot the s.

They made a movie of it too, with Brad Pitt, Robert DeNiro, Kevin Bacon, Minnie Driver, and Jason Patric. Really liked the movie too.

If you like Carcaterra I recommend highly, highly Street Boys.

Teacher throwing away books? Blasphemy!

S's, woops.

And yea, I told my Dada we gotta go rent the movie so hopefully I'll see it soon. Stree Boys also looks like a good book, so maybe if I can get my hands on some money I'll buy it.

Thanks,

It's worth it. If only for the dog.

Never read the book, but the movie's fantastic (or just fantastically disturbing). Definitely one of my favorites.

I loved the movie and the book, quite disturbing though.

I never read the book but liked the movie.

You guys should definetly try to get the book because I saw the movie (and although it cut out at th very end) I thought the book was way better.
