I want to say that I usually do not read Biographies or autobiographies because for me reading is to get away from real life, however when I was coming home from Lady Janes Salon, I met the author of this book on the train. He noticed all my books and asked if I read. After a long conversation he asked me to read this for him and I agreed. I took my time and read and found that I really enjoyed it. I associated with it as well due to where ai grew up. I wish him all the luck in promoting and pushing this book

My Review:

I was given this book in exchange for an honest review. 
This is the story of O. Nitty growing up in the Jersey City, NJ. It describes living in tough area and all the temptations and how easily you can fall into the trap. O. Nitty stands strong, he survives tough situations that no child or teenager should ever have to go through. Through trial and error he has to learn how to overcome and be creative in his endeavors. 
This is the first book by him and I thought it was interesting.
