This book is perfect for a young or old person who likes poetry as well as a gateway tool for a young person in a mentoring relationship. This allows the reader to see a glimpse of his soul and genius the way he felt at the time of writings and not the way an editor would like you see them. My point is that by seeing the connection Shakur makes with his emotions, struggles and triumphs all in writing. We have a generation of kids that will never pick up a pad of paper and write with a pen again. It could have been very cool to see them really turn the collars around on the stereotypes and collaborate for the good of youth. I just had this strange thought of Shakur sitting with Princess Diana and coming together to assist a nation of troubled, lost and angry teens. This book has so much wisdom and candor from a person who despite the media's attempts to make him just another rapper, comes out smelling like a rose. The Rose That Grew From Concrete by Tupac Shakur is a great book.
