Eine bewegende Geschichte, die gute Einblicke in die traurige Realität vieler Afroamerikaner ermöglicht. Erfolg und Misserfolg liegen oft nah bei einander. Nicht jeder hat dieselben Voraussetzungen um ein glückliches Leben zu führen.

Sehr gut erzählte Geschichte - fesselnd von der ersten Seite an! Das Buch regt einen auf jeden Fall zum nachdenken an....

Our son, who is a high school junior, was assigned 'The Other Wes Moore.' It seemed an opportune time for me to read the copy that was on my bookshelf. Our son and his older brother were adopted when they were three weeks old. They are African-American and my wife and I are Caucasian. We live in Maine which is as far removed from large inner-city slums as living in the Land of Oz. The urban environment describe in Mr. Moore's work about Baltimore and New York City are similar to the city our sons' birth-mom lived. Our two sons have three older siblings who were not given up for adoption and lived in such an urban hellhole. Therefore, you can imagine 'The Other Wes Moore' hits very close to home. Our son said to me he was acutely aware while reading Mr. Moore's book that it could easily have been him and his brother living in Baltimore or the Bronx with limited options and life-altering decisions. Please keep in mind these are friggin' kids, people. They are not even remotely equipped to emotional and intellectually handle such an environment. Man, most adults couldn't handle it.Passages of Mr. Moore's book made my stomach hurt. It is a wonderful example showing how the trope "pull yourself up by your own bootstraps" to rise out of poverty is pure B.S. The author clearly understands that he had an extended family who personally sacrificed in an effort to save him from being claimed by the streets. It does take a village. The other Wes Moore, however, was not so fortunate despite also being quite intelligent. 'The Other Wes Moore' is snapshots of events which occur between their early childhood in 1982 through to 2000. Mr. Moore writes in a sensitive manner and does a good job explaining the mood of the kids living in black slums as well as the enticements and many obstacles in their way. I grew up in a rural Maine paper mill town. Alcoholism was a big problem but, compared to what is portrayed in 'The Other Wes Moore', our small community had it made.Our country is littered with ghettos which are landmarks of generational racism towards minorities. Mr. Moore's book like other such works as 'There Are No Children Here: The Story of Two Boys Growing Up in The Other America' by Alex Kotlowitz effectively humanize the inner-city predicament. The challenges of living in slums are not someone else's problem. It's a national disgrace and requires a collective effort to rectify or at the very least ameliorate. The author did a public service by writing the book. I'm gonna go hug my sons.

Some spoilers. I feel like this book did the best job it could with comparing the two different lives (and I felt the author did an excellent job with the background stories of the grandparents and great grandparents and their environments).One thing that was difficult about this book is that you are very aware that this was written by a person who only had first-hand knowledge of his own story. So, when reading another character's internal dialog or details about an interaction that he was not a part of, instead of being engrossed in the story I began asking myself, "I wonder who provided that detail? Who provided that perspective?" And the action began to be viewed differently depending on who I thought had actually provided the content.It must have been extremely difficult to get that information. So, for that, the details of the story are amazing. But, I think those very same content providers also may be hindering the book. I think we have a man convicted of a crime who wants to be free. Perhaps is exploring appeals. I have no idea. But he's still claiming his innocence against overwhelming evidence. Then, another content provider for the book is his mom, who I'm sure would also love to have her son be released. So I feel like we're being fed a filtered "truth" from the convicted Wes Moore and family. Such as convicted Wes Moore's mom dumping all of his drugs down the toilet, yet Wes had found pot in his mom's closet. Would she actually have dumped pot down the toilet or set that aside? Why the hypocrisy of throwing out drugs when also okay with using some? I also feel like she would have known that flushing the drugs could have put him in a serious situation in regards to owing money to dealers who may not have peacefully resolved the debt. This who scene didn't feel true to me. Perhaps I just needed more internal perspective from mom.We are also left with the impression that his mom assumed he was guilty, given her behavior while he and his brother were on the run, yet there is no statement about that from his mom in the book. Or even proclaiming his innocence. Maybe it's that silence that is the most telling. Overall, the book was good, but I feel like it could have been so much more. I feel like we are left with an unresolved feeling.I wish convicted Wes could have admitted his wrongdoings, describing and explaining his actions while on the run.The celebrated Wes Moore lists some of his accomplishments at the end of the book, but there is almost a feeling of embarrassment in regards to celebrating his success. As if he is overwhelmed by survivor's guilt. It was probably hard to say, okay, this guy is spending the rest of his life in prison, but let's now look at what I've accomplished. Perhaps this could have been best accomplished by quoting his mom. (Mom's love to brag! :)I feel like there was a lot of story left on the table, and what was not said in some ways feels heavier and more significant.

Quite an eye opener for someone like me who has never been exposed in any manner to the tough life in the inner cities and poor neighborhoods of Baltimore (or any such city for that matter). I must admit that after reading this book I have a lot more admiration for those who are able to stay out of trouble and eventually lead a good life. I also feel sorry for those who remained trapped in the vicious circle because it seems so hard to break free. The book doesn't really explain why the fates of the two Wes Moore's turned out to be so different. It is not that there is one point of divergence, there are probably several reasons. Reading the brief description makes you feel as though there was a defining moment or event where their lives diverged.
