Hood Struggle

First, I'll start with the story. It was ok. It was a story about the worst of Louisiana. The violence and drugs and unwed mothers. But anyone with knowledge of the real world knows this is happening. I wanted to give this a better rating, but the author should have had an editor. It didn't need to be a professional, even an old school teacher might have been able to help.

Some of the characters weren't fully detailed, and often a character from earlier in the story appears and I couldn't remember how they fit in the story. Several characters only appear in quick moments.

The writing was mostly first-person, but sometimes switched. The narrative should have been corrected for grammar and spelling. I liked the slang from the characters, not not as part of the entire story. I also didn't realize there was an urban dictionary at the back until I finished. I used Google to look up all the words I didn't know as I was reading the story.

I hope the author gets some assistance if/when he writes his next book.
