Query: Interesting and something I can relate to.

That was then,This is now was an excellent book.Truthfully I enjoyed reading it.I think it was an excellent book because I could relate to some of the characters.For example M'M I understand him not wanting to be violent being violent causes to much trouble.Mike I understood him not hating blacks even after what connie had done to him.I especially liked when Bryran and Mark went to visit Mike at the hospital.I liked hearing the story that Mike told Bryran and Mark.I disliked what happened to Mike I think that was wrong after all he had done for her.I also disliked the way Charlie died.He died doing something good but those two men should have never played with Bryran and Mark.It was just a game it didn't have to end in violence.Honestly i would recommend this book to anyone to teach them not to make the same mistakes some of the characters made and the results of bad actions and violence.
