CROSS THE BRIDGE

"Finally! A book that awakens your racial perception to another level! Somehow the author has realistically allowed the reader to become Black, White and Hispanic all within one sentence- throughout the book! And it astonishingly works! You will be amazed! Author, inmate and spoken word artist K-SO ( hailing from Chicago's notorious Cabrini Green housing projects ) possesses an expansive sense of politics and street ethics that he masterfully balances throughout the book, while providing what he refers to as a "mental slap in the face" that will continue your eye opening! The different levels of racial perception will traverse through the ghetto culture while touching the corners of Wall Street and then merge the two; he skillfully commands the reader to think outside the box! And you will. "These twenty powerful and skillfully written chapters pull your conscious into K-SO's world. And yet, there's another unique bonus to the book; A special underground, exclusive street "dictionary", which itself is a priceless tool and beneficial aid in crossing that bridge."

5Cross into the World You Live In  Jul 01, 2008
By Grant 57 "Grant 57"
This book gives a window in to things that many have heard about and many don't get to see up close and personal - the urban drug culture and it's deeper causes, the Police from the perspective of their prey, life in the Cabrini Green housing development and much more. But, beyond that, it reflects on many deep challenges faced by U.S. society - and challenges the reader to reflect on them deeply.

One may not agree with the authors prescriptions for this or that social issue. But an honest reader has to stop and think about what they usually glide over when they read the newspaper or watch the 10 O'clock news. Or when they pass someone of a different race, nationality or culture on the street.

What I've said up to now might make you think that this book is a heavy, heavy read -- a slow, sociological treatise. It actually is a fast moving, engaging and entertaining reflection on the world. It is filled with love of people and joy for life. And, while sometimes the experiences of the author may seem far fetched one has to keep in mind that real life is often stranger than fiction.

I encourage anyone who wants to take a voyage into an unknown land to read this book and discover the unknown land that exists all around them in their every day life - a land you can't see until you look through someone else's eyes.
