It was exciting at times, funny in spots, and sad. Marvin Elkind is one hell of a character that has lead one hell of a life.
Apr 14, H Wesselius rated it liked it. Three stars for the content not the writing. The writing was atrocious and probably made an interesting story just OK. Due to the annoying grammar and stylistic errors or problems, one could not enjoy the tale as much as one should.
Mar 30, Edmond Gagnon rated it liked it. The story was interesting, like it's main character, but after a while I thought I was reading a version of Forrest Gump. It seems the Weasel knew everyone The Hard Way Out. Friends of the Family. The Toughest Prison of All.
