Rating: 6 out of 10

This book is about 2 teens that get set up trying to do a drug deal. One of them shoots the cop and gets arrested and the other one runs away. The one who gets caught is getting in less trouble because he says it is the kid who ran away (Lil J). Lil J is ‘dope sick’ because he is addicted to heroin and now he is hiding from the police. There is a tv that shows the future, lots of cops and guns.
This book is by the same author that wrote Monster. I liked this book better because it was more interesting and was written in an entirely different format. This book has a lot of action. I would recommend this book to everyone.
