Rating:
Summary: True Education
Review: A book that should be read by all high school students, Butch Jones' autobiography presents a wealth of accumulated knowledge. It is a lesson in economics, philosophy, and Detroit history. Butch Jones, supreme teacher and urban philosopher, turns learning into a game.

Summary: The Life
Review: This book details the consequences of unequal wealth distribution and false dreams. As a native Detroiter I was amazed at the accuracy that the book details choices and options that are left for inner-city youth. I do not ANY form condone the actions of Mr. Jones or other Young Boys but I do appreciate the candor that Mr. Jones spoke upon the choices that one is faced with when staring down the evil eyes of poverty. This book should serve as an example for all conservatives who vehemently support the "bootstrap" theory. Not all criminals are unintelligant, but when you are hungry and you can be accepted in "da hood" and recieve immediate gratification or struggle with "the man", what would you do?

Review: This book is a must have,must read by everyone.Especially those like myself who are from Detroit and know about the Y.B.I.first hand.I became a member of Y.B.I. at age 12.I am now 34 and have a 13 year old son who I'm going to make sure reads this book to maybe steer clear of the painful,bloody,murderous & cold,cold path that this book reveals.I remember Butch Jones, and personally knew most everyone mentioned in this book. I thank God I'm alive and able to read it. Because most of my fellow Y.B.I. friends & members are expired as a result of membership.May God have mercy on there souls most of us were just kids.
