Yummy: The Last Days of a Southside Shorty by G. Neri

3.0

This book is only 96 pages long, and the pages sparse, so it’s about a twenty minute read at the very most. It has something to say, but its presentation is better suited to classroom use and opening discussions with young readers than it is for older audiences. It’s very open-ended with no easy answers, but it also comes across as a bit preachy and doesn’t go into the systemic issues that have led to the gang crisis. Older readers will probably feel a bit short-changed.
