This is a superb novel, a great plot, excellent cast of characters, and very good writing.  The book establishes 3 sets of characters, and makes you identify with at least one in each set.  That two of the sets of characters are hoodlums doesn't change this.  The characters are very well developed and seem to come to life as you read.  Unfortunately, the story becomes a downer before the ending, but the ending is extremely well done.  I just can't recommend a book more highly than this one, and it is well worth a second read.
