Realising the author was 17 when writing it also explains some elements, particularly the introduction of characters.
Lots of slang, but surprisingly familiar and accessible given the passing of time.

I generally enjoyed the book. Perhaps it was how I read it - it was required for my 8th grade English class -, but I feel like I might have enjoyed it more had I had better circumstances to read it under. Nonetheless, it is a very heartfelt and deep story. My favorite character was definitely Johnny - I love a good character-development. Overall, would recommend to someone who likes morals and angstier(?) stories about living in a difficult situation.
