Maybe I am too old for this book, granted, I didn't read the first in the series, and apparently, this is one of those series where you need to read them in consecutive order, but I can't get past page 30. I must be too old, I need a dictionary to understand all the ghetto talk, I spend more time translating the ghetto talk to older person talk to really get into the book. I guess I am not the 20-something that this series is aimed at. I am wondering if it was written in modern English if I could read more of it, even if I haven't read the previous installments in the series.
