This is a very inspiring book. The only reason why it isn't on my top ten list is unfortunately, because it is nonfiction, and there isn't a significant plot. Other than that, the story told by the three young men is interesting and amazing. While they are children and teenagers, they have to face the choice of following their peers into drug-hustling and killing, or try to complete high school and make something significant out of their lives. They all meet in the freshman year, and after becoming friends, decide to make the famous 'Pact' and try to find their way through high school, into college, and maybe even medical school.Everyone should read this book, and even if most of the kids in the class aren't faced with the same challenges, it shows that no matter what goal you set for yourself, it is possible to get there.
