My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A glimpse of life

In the 1970's California, something as small as a corner store can bring people together that seemingly have nothing in common. A great job for some, is an inconvenience to others, or even the site of the local criminal hangout to others.
The story was compelling in that the author skillfully used pop culture that was current in the time, as well as phrases and manner of speech which brought a touch of authenticity to the story. More a coming of age story, there is some criminal elements as well as how different people interacted that might not have met. I liked the book, even though it was a bit long.
