Rating:
Summary: enlightening
Review: A great book. What is also funny is that homeless people in New York will sell you this book for a buck fifty. Or you can buy it here for 10 dollars

Summary: Stunning book...
Review: I recently went to NY and bought this book from a street vendor. I didn't have any real expectations from the book, but when I started reading I could not put it down. This book seems to be a real, open and honest look into the lives of people that I would otherwise not have though twice about.
Thank to Jim Flyn and all the people that contributed to this book for bringing these enlightening stories into my life. I'm now about to order several copies of the book to give to friends and family.

You will feel as if you actually know the people personally, especially since all of the stories are in the first-person. This book allows the homeless to be heard as people, not as throw-aways of society. A powerful and important book.
