The word h**l is used twice.	There are fights, deaths, and a fire.	Nothing other than thinking girls are attractive.

Characterization	Plot	Overall Rating

Some of the most believable juvenile delinquents I've read or seen. These are people, not stereotypes.		There's a reason it's on all those reading lists.

This book grabbed me as a teen and wouldn't let go until I'd read it through twice. The characters and events feel so real, so possible, that even now, I sometimes forget it's fiction.
