Summary: A Moving Account of a Downfall and the Climb Up
Review: Stinger very accurately depicts the life of a homeless man in New York. His story is told frankly and without excuses. He admits that he messed up and he accepted the consequences. His obsession wiht writing and literature is admirable. The way he describes his stumbles and lifts is thrilling. This is a great book to read and I recommend it.

Summary: It could have been much more
Review: This was the worst book I ever read.I thought the story was going to be about the homeless in Grand Central.Yet all the
main character Lee talks about is his work with a newspaper
written by the homeless.The book drags on and on going nowhere.
The characters Lee mentions in the book are as dull as the book
itself.I was trully disappionted.The only thing this book is good
for is putting you to sleep.

Summary: A Different Type of Homeless Story
Review: With a near poetic style of writing, Stringer brings the reader a series of tales from his experience of living on the streets of New York from the 80's to the 90's. What is so great about this work is that he doesn't go into gory detail of his becoming homeless or how he managed to change his life. Rather, Stringer offers us a view from one who was once outside the box and then allowed himself to be brought in. Fantastic writing style with a keen story telling sense. A solid purchase.
