As a non-native speaker, the first 100 pages were quite difficult for me. This book purposely uses a lot of Brooklyn Slang and I personally needed to get used to that. But once you're in it - you're IN it. It's music and black culture in the streets of New York - captured so vividly and gripping, sad and brutal and sweet. I couldn't put it down.
