If you have seen American History X, you will find it hard not to reference that during the first half of the book. But it almost feels like a companion piece. It is amazing how little it takes to push someone into extreme and focused hate when they feel so much rage. Growing up in those circumstances, it only took someone to tell him who to hate and who was at fault.
It also seems like Frank still has a little pride about what he had "accomplished" his years in the movement. I think it is important, as that reflects how he felt at the time, but it was still unsettling at times. I also lost track of all the different groups at different times that were the toughest. He seemed to be always talking about some group or guy being total badasses, then there would be another group that made them look like sissies.
All in all, enlightening and worth the read.
