Synopsis

Excerpt from All the Way Down

It is conceivable that this book will not irritate the peo ple it is about — the kids — although that is not the design of the work. And it is not much better than even money that many of them won't be angered. The source of all this irritation is Vincent Biccio, a beautifully disciplined man who laboriously built up his body to a mass of muscle and far more laboriously built his natural intelligence into a well co — ordinated thinking mechanism smoothed and oiled by college and postgrad uate study. Riccio is firstly irritated with himself. This book is no success story. Far from it. And Riccio is furious because he hasn't cured, and now knows he won't cure, juvenile delinquency. He is just as furious at the people who shape the des tinies of kids. He knows from bitter experience that some bad kids are too much for any set of parents, be those parents in Beverly Hills or Brooklyn. But he feels this is the exception and not the rule.
