I have just finished part one of the book and it is so far very interesting. However, I am finding that Tom Piazza is using so much detail that at times it is hard to follow what he is talking about. At one point he will be talking about the Zulu and at another he will be talking about something semi-related to the Zulu but that could almost be a different topic to discuss rather than just throwing it in there.
I do like how he uses comparisons. On page 87 he says, "Some areas that had been poor as poor gets, yet still had an intact neighborhood culture, have been turned essentially into dunkedoms and baronets controlled by drug dealers, featuring all the burnt-out houses, semi-automatic gunfire, and other elements that populate the movies and video games we all enjoy so much." I just laughed at this part because it is true, this is exactly something we can picture and relate to a video game (for those of us who have seen the violent video games out there.) I also took it as him using his sense of humor.
