Book Reviews of Inside the Crips: Life Inside L.A.'s Most Notorious Gang

Book Review: Outside looking in!
Summary: 5 Stars

I read "Inside the Crips" when it was released and am ordering another copy because I keep sharing the one I have. Not to be compared with "Monster" in any way, it stands alone. The finale of the book includes the scene at Inglewood Cemetery. As it draws to a close, you are present with the author but you don't "have his back" because you are stunned. Simpson gains merit as an author with ability to describe that scene.
