The Story is mostly about a man named Joey Coyle who is a likable man from the working-class of South Philadelphia. He lives with his mother and is struggling to support a drug habit. One afternoon Joey was on his way to score drugs when he found two curious yellow containers lying in the street that contained cash. The money had just fallen off of an armored van. The yellow bags contained one million dollars. When Joey gets back home he hears that there was money missing from an armored van. Joey didn't enen care. He shared the money with everyone, his girlfriend, friends, and even complete strangers. Joey went on for the next week or two living his life. As he plans his life as a rich man, he grew terrified that he was going to be cought or even killed. What I think about this book or story is that its very good. I was very interested in the whole thing. Bowden used great descriptive writing and thought into this book. I think that anyone would enjoy reading this book. The book is loaded with suspense and on the edge of your seat action. Getting into a character like Joey Coyle is exciting and full drama. Being a man who is trying to take care of his sick mother and trying to do drugs at the same time puts so much suspense into the readers mind. Asking different questions like,"How is he going to do it?" and "What is going to happen next?" I think anyone would enjoy reading a stroy about a drug addict who is trying to take care of his mother and getting over his fathers death.
