Very interesting what someone can do with numbers. Yes, the crack dealers who live with the mothers section is fun to read, and ultimately sad because we know that these boys will never break the cycle of violence and we will always have "ghettos." I was more interested with the correlation of students first names and the average education level of students with such names... Mary, Sarah, Tiffany, Leticia, etc. According to this book, I shouldn't name my girl after a flower! Overall, the book was entertainment taken with a grain of salt.
