Incredibly vibrant description and characterization, felt like I was transported straight to NYC. Storyline was good, intertwining in interesting ways. Good emotional attachment to some characters (especially the Elephant), but not all of the characters were likable, but they were very lifelike.
Graphic: Alcoholism, Racial slurs, and Cursing
Moderate: Racism, Gun violence, Murder, and Sexual content
