BOOK REVIEW

Just finished Willie Marine Boy Estrada's "The Dancing Gangsters of The South Bronx". The feeling of the reading is strong. It's a story of bravery, struggles, injustice, pain, hard work as well as love, fun, enjoyment and outstanding success in the life of a boy from the 70's. But at the same time, it's a story of the whole era. It reveals the truth behind many well-known events in the street culture history and it provides huge amount of missing knowledge. From the look into the gang world and the scene of the first Rock dancers to the creation of the Latin Hustle and the birth of Disco. From the high-class club scene of New York City to the early Hip Hop facts. All in one stirring novel. Sometimes I almost cried and sometimes I could't stop laughting while reading the funny stories. It's bitter-sweet as the life itself. It's real. You can feel the realness from every page. There's no choice but to admire the survival skills and the strong character of the guy whose hope and life energy preserved even in the most desperate situations. The whole story is inspirational, enlightening and fascinating. I'm really happy I bought this book on Willie MB Estrada's boat party. The party which I'll never forget.
