i've been thinking about this book since i finished it, trying to figure out why i only gave it 3 stars. i liked it, i really did. but there was something off, and i can't really put my finger on it, but i felt no urgency to finish it or care, really, tbh, about any of the characters. i think the only person i felt bad for was Ernie. i understand what the author was trying to do, i think? gangs in LA and their lives and how Rodney King or not, these are their lives always. but i just couldn't get myself to care so much? it felt like things were leading up to something, the last half of the book, all of the stories coming together, i was expecting something BIG to happen. but, it just sort of felt "meh" to me. i'm glad i picked it up though, it's not something i would normally read.
