DESCRIPTION:
Vivid. Amazon Customer Mr.Canada grew up in the 60's in the Bronx. In this book he talks about what it was like to live there. He talks about having to prove yourself or face the prospect of getting your kicked in the future. You get a VIVID description of what he was up against as a young person. I mean, I grew up a long way away in a much less dangerous place, and I knew exactly what he was gett. Fistacuffs is better! Dr. Canada presents an emotive argument for gun control through story and eclecticism. He makes an interesting case for the slide from Fist to Gun without ever dealing with the reason for the violence of fist and/or gun. One might argue with his conclusions though one cannot argue with his heart's concern as to the results caused by the increased violence. Overall, a good rea. Eddie A. Schmitt said Very deep book. Awesome story about life growing up in the Bronx. Those who grew up in the Bronx, can definitely relate to many of the stories.
