In 2003 the book was honored with Michael L. Printz Award[1] and the same year became a winner of the Robert F. Sibert Medal.[2] PlotThe book is set in 1971 and tells about author's life behind bars. Before he goes to jail he dreams of becoming a writer and becomes inspired by William S. Burroughs who according to his knowledge used to use drugs to go through his life as a writer. Because he dropped out of university in St. Croix, he began using hashish and later joined the sail team.[3] There, his friends became Hamilton and Rik, the later of whom promised him $10,000 if he will sail with him to New York City from Virgin Islands to sell hash to customers. As a result, upon arriving to New York and settling into a hotel, he and his friends were captured by the FBI and were sentenced from 5 to 20 years in prison for drug trafficking. Jack got 5, but because of his well behavior in prison he gets out in 15 months of his sentence.[4] While there he works as an x-ray technician and writes his thoughts in a journal on a copy of The Brothers Karamazov. He gets out of prison a bit earlier because he applies to a university for creative writing course and begins a new life by selling Christmas trees. ReceptionThe book received positive reviews from Kirkus Reviews[5] and Publishers Weekly.[6] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.ala.org/yalsa/booklistsawards/bookawards/printzaward/previouswinners/winners |title=Michael L.
