Welcome to the Jungle propels the reader to experience not only my life, but to understand my views, and to see, feel and sense as I do, and to understand how growing up on the streets and fighting just to survive created my outlook on life. At the end of the story, the reader will know what it is like to live a life on the streets, the one into which I was born into.
Welcome to the Jungle stands above the rest of the thug book genre just as I stand out from the rest of the thugs, simply in size, my outlook for the future and the understanding of my past. My presence in any room garners enough attention on its own even before I tell any of my life stories. I show that thugs are not born, but rather born into and created by dysfunctional families and the societies around them, and a judicial system whose sole focus is punishment.
