Good read. I haven't read any of the other Jack Reacher books, but I think I will. This one kept my attention and was surprising.

More than any other non-fiction book I have ready in the past 10 years, this book is a must read. This book describes the reality, the causes, and the results of urban poverty in the global south. It pins down things I had picked up on through my other readings, but made them more concrete. Not a cheery read, it reminds us that most of the world's population live lives we would consider without hope and without dignity. This fact is not something we can avoid forever--we are not as insular as we have been taught to feel, when it comes to those people/i>. This work is so well written and argued and so compulsively documented that I almost wonder if the author is human or a emissary from the god I don't believe in.

Much more interesting that the movie.

“The Life and Thoughts of Shaun Pascal” is a story about self discovery and finding one’s place in the world. The story is narrated by the title character and examines the life of an African-American male in his early to mid-twenties trying to figure out the basics of being an adult. Written as a character study, the author N.S. Ugezene has created a story unique amongst other urban tales. The premises of the story is that Shaun Pascal, also known as KP, is a twenty-something young African-American man that is in and out of school as well as work, has recently moved back in with his mother and step-father, and is desperately looking for acceptance and love. He has a dream of becoming a rapper, but can not focus on that goal because he allows his mind to wonder on every possible detail of life. The majority of the book is spent with Pascal questioning the motives of females and friends, as well as describing every day activities around his neighborhood in the city of Pomona, California, in which he resides. Written in first person style, we are given an intimate look into the mindset of the lead character. He is depressed about his current state of living, and is constantly looking for something to make his life better. That arrives in the female character of Nadalina McGastry whose entrance into the story gives Pascal some hope about his future. The story is about love and accepting that emotion. “The Life and Thoughts of Shaun Pascal” is not without its faults. It is almost as if its originality is what makes it a difficult read. The story is told in a stream-of-consciousness manner, with characters and subject matter discussed and discarded in what seems to have no point to the forward movement of the story. This concept can work if there is intention behind it; but without a purpose, much of what you learn in the story leads to no where. The thoughts of Pascal can be described like separate essays, where he begins with a thesis, defines issues, and many times gives solutions; but without any real pay off for the story. Where this novel does succeed is in capturing the thoughts of person with his age, gender, and economic situation. It was refreshing to read about an African-American male who is complex, intelligent, and confused. Shaun Pascal will remind you of someone you know; a person who is creative and smart, but unsure of what direction to go in. The story does not try and judge Pascal or those around him. What it does do is give an open window into their lives. Ugezene’s novel is a good attempt in taking urban fiction in a new direction. Structurally though, the novel does need some help; therefore, I will give the book 3 ½ stars out of 5. It is something readers can enjoy, but they will need to take their time reading to really grasp it. Reviewed By: Jason Luntz
This one was not as good as Probable Future...if you haven't read that one, I'd start there.

Great book, great story, great setting. Only reason it didn't get 4 stars was because it didn't exactly "hit the spot" with details. I found myself hanging over a cliff with the child-neglect in the story, but I didn't get saved by the writer! In other words, some disappointment prevailed upon finishing the book. All in all, it was a lovely book!

This book is very great. Even though the 2 strongest characters in the book go away.I like this book because it shows a social life from the two gangs Greasers and Socs. This book makes you get much deeper into the thoughts of S.E.HINTON...
I liked this book surprisingly well, in spite of the mostly dark subject matter. The book follows a Prussian family on the run from the Russian army near the end of WWII. Along with them is a Scottish POW and a German Jew, posing as a Nazi soldier to survive the war. It also describes the experiences of a group of Jewish women in a concentration camp in Eastern Germany.
