Headman

Rating:
Summary: Vivid and realistic
Review: I read this book back just after it first came out, when it was a little more relevant. That said, Platt has written a book that is still applicable to today's violent adolescent subcultures. Read the book remembering that it was written in the mid 1970s, and you will realize that the book accurately describes the same nihilism seen in 1990s movies such as "American Me" and "Boyz n the hood."
