It tears your heart, but you can't put it down...

I'm a homeschooler and I found this book on a college-prep reading list. I've had an interest in this subject since I was in nursing school and had to sit in on juvenile court one day - I absolutely could not put this book down. Humes is an excellent writer and although it's a hard subject to explore, I wish he would write more on our court systems - juvenile and otherwise. Most of us need a bracing dose of reality. Thank you for a very enlightening book Mr. Humes!

A Great Source for Juvenile Justice Information

This book was a great source of information on the Juvenile Justice System, especially the system in Los Angeles. A compelling read, the grim realities of juvenile justice are conveyed with an unusual blend of compassion and pragmatism. A must-read for anyone interested in learning more about this important subject.

Eye Opener

I read this book for my Juvenile Justice Class. It is an excellent book on the insides of the juvenile justice system. It was disheartening to learn how the system works and how the children are shuffled through. I highly recommend it. I also recommend Monster: An autobiography of an LA Gang Member

Indepth, insightful story by a gifted author

No Matter How Loud I Shout reads like a novel. It is an incredibly well written and compassionate view of the life of some of the country's forgotten "children". I really enjoyed it as well as "Baby ER" also by Mr. Humes.

Everyone Should Read This

This book is so SOOO depressing. And we deserve to feel that way about our Juvenile Justice system. Everyone remotely attached to criminal law or children should read this.
