awesome job, Sam!

thanks for bringing Piri's work to life! it's been a good long while since i last read DTMS, or any of Piri's books!

it'd be great if you could add a new chapter on to here (every now and then, whenever you have some free time), for all of the young bros and sisters who are not too familiar w/ brother Piri....

Its was word for word!! Excellent.. I can picture it in my head!!!

Damn, I can't remember if this is the book I had read

Your portrayl of Piri Thomas was not what I had expected after reading "Down These Mean Streets", but it did help us to have a better understanding of how Piri may have acted.

hey im reading this for my class. is it on dvd or what?

[happyastoria87]

very cool! I'm Latino also (Argentinian) but i really can't relate to this book, alot of south americans can't relate to this book, so i guess it's for certain types of latinos, but anyways very good!!!!!!!!!!
