"Good book. Bobby is a poor black kid in the bronx that meets an elderly man who helps him defend himself. (no...stop it with the karate Kid comments) My 3rd favorite Selby Book"
"So far I am lovin' this story. Not sure what Selby is going to do with the characters though. I'm pretty attached to them at this point. A young black boy, connecting with an old Jewish/German man as a father figure; trying to work through his hate. Interesting."
