Book Reviews of Inside the Crips: Life Inside L.A.'s Most Notorious Gang
Book Review: Enjoyed it
Summary: 5 Stars
Having grown up in and around Los Angeles, I enjoy reading about different experiences in this vast city. I particularly enjoy reading about individuals who have been involved in some form of gang life. Because like it or not, L.A. is intimately connected to the gangbangin' lifestyle.
Colton's book details his life from his youth living with a mom that dislikes him to his first experience being jumped-in to the Crips gang to his gradual climb up the "OG" ladder with all the requisite crime and violence to his time spent in county jail and state prison along with the betrayel of some of his homies and his heartbreak with the opposite sex.
His experiences are vivid and Colton is honest in expressing all the ugliness that he and his family/friends went thru. I wished there was more than just one photo and also I would like to know more about his latest legal trouble that he briefly aludes to in the "afterword" section. Nonetheless I enjoyed the book and recommend it to all who are interested in the L.A. jungle warfare.
