This book is about a group of young men that get into a lot of trouble by destroying things and beating people up.  One of the boys gets sent to jail where they work on converting him into a nice person.  This book is a classic and it is on my TBR to read.  The story isn't bad, but I wish that the author just used regular language.  I loathe the way that they talk.  I think that it really distracts from the story and made me not like the book as much.  I understood what the main character was saying, but it was annoying.
