If depressing non-fiction is your thing, then this book is for you. The problem is, this current version of the urban street corner makes Talley's hangout seem downright utopia. Roughly half the book is spent in the trenches, that is, on urban Baltimore's drug and poverty infested streets where drugs infiltrate every facet of life. One particular family is loosely followed over a number of years and, I guess, possible spoiler alert, nothing ends well for them. There is no happy ending, no salvation, no hope. On the slightest of bright sides, the concern, compassion, and empathy the writers feel for their subjects is apparent.

But, as a famous person once said, or maybe I said it, what can one or in this case two person do? Trillions of dollars have been spent on improving our urban slums and the reality is that nothing works. The other portion of the book is a detailed account of what historically happened or 'went wrong'.

This portion of the book is a history of the failed infrastructure of decaying urban America. Different sections of the book critically examine the various structures that are supposed to support and enhance the lives of citizens: If this sounds familiar, well it is. This book, and its writers, provided the impetus for the wildly successful television show "The Wire". Yes, I finished the book.

And after reading the book I immersed myself in the television show. Ultimately though, I was left with a feeling that seldom occurs on my various reading endeavors. A total absence of hope.

Thirty-four year-old Gary McCullough has seen four years of drug addiction strip him of his money, his career, and his family. Now he has one mission: When he's not shooting up with his girlfriend Ronnie - a ruthless, scheming addict who even steals from Gary when he isn't looking, he scours the neighborhood for heroin or spare cigarettes, and scrounges for money selling scrap metal and stolen appliances.

DeAndre spends his life walking a fine line between childhood and maturity - a very fine line, since both of his parents are addicts, and he's been dealing drugs since he was 13 years old.

DeAndre hangs out with his girlfriend Tyreeka while struggling to attend school so he can achieve a promotion from 9th to 10th grade. Getting into a fight with his mother, Fran, he leaves to stay with his father, Gary, who ends up stealing some of his drugs.



Fran has her own drug habit that her son has so far avoided, but DeAndre, still a child, helps support his mother and younger half brother De'Rodd by selling cocaine on the corner. Fran's warnings to her son about selling drugs continue to go unheeded and DeAndre gets busted again.

This time, to teach him a lesson, Fran makes no effort to get him out, and he is transferred to the "Boy's Village" for a wake-up call.
