Was an overall great book, however I did not like how many things throughout the book were left unfinished. Many people can relate to the problems that the book throws at you. Can't wait to find out if there will be a sequel.

This is a great book that keeps the reader guessing until the end, and keeps you hooked along the way with lots of characters, some strange, others unique, the best way to put it. Lawrence is sent through a dark twist of fate and must fight his way out of prison in one piece. Keep those scales balanced, man.

This book hooked me right at the very start and I enjoyed it very much. It is all about a teenager called Lawrence who tries to keep his head clean and life balanced in his tough life. If you decide to read this be ready to make lots of friends and enemies along the way. This book is packed full of different emotions , so its not for the weak hearted.

the book was amazing. I felt that I could really relate to all the characters in a one way or the other.
I can also relate to some of the situations. I didn't like that some of the situations were left unfinished and wish that there will be a sequel to answer some of my questions.
