What a great interview! I really enjoyed reading The Life and Crimes of Hoodie Rosen. I wasn't sure what my expectations were when I started, but by the time I was finished I was a fan and couldn't wait to include it in my library collection. I admit, I also enjoyed the insight from the author and am even more excited to read about YoYo.
