Review of 'We Own This City' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I read this after watching We Own This City on HBO, so I skipped some of the stuff on Jenkins' early years, I really just wanted to see what the TV show left out, but it turns out the show hewed pretty closely to the book. I'm glad I watched the show first because I was able to keep all of the players straight in my head by picturing the actors who played them. Between this, the show, and the documentary, The Slow Hustle, which focuses on Sean Suiters death, (and The Wire) I'm convinced I never need to go to Baltimore again.
