"this book was ok it wasent really good, it was funny at times and boring kind of but in all it ok nothing more. i find allot of his books boring. there ether really good or really boring. i give this book a 3."
"Living Up The Street was a great book. I really liked this book because it shows of how a family grows up from poor to medium independence with wife and children. Also I like the way that its similar to how you live in real life and how kids grow up from pain in neck to mature or even robbing men."
"I've lost count of how many of these books I've given to friends. It's simply one of the sweetest, funniest, and touching autobiographies I've ever read. A quick read, you'll want to pass them out like treats at Halloween... Great for anyone old enough to read."
