"Entertaining but not sufficiently original or witty to be the kind of noncomformist manifesto to which it aspires." - A fellow on GoodReads. His one liner describes this book best, and possibly that's all I feel it deserves. Well I'll go on anyway. I think Mohr is a good writer, and he did describe the Mission pretty accurately. My qualm is that he tried to convey the typical cliche that good hearted souls exist even in the dingiest dives.... yea typical bad kid with a good heart. We get it. Definitely would recommend it to a suburban kid just out of high school or someone who may have just got into reading. 'Alternative' Live 105 here. Well..I can actually think of 10 other books I would rather recommend. Don't believe it when folks refer him to a Bukowski of some sorts. Yea they have the drinking part right... but that's as far as the comparison goes. A closer comparison is a Chuck Palahniuk for those who need a tame script due to their weak stomach. Or how about a liberal Nicholas Sparks with tattoos and a drinking problem... I guess that's going to far. Definitely a jock with a conscience. I'm done.
