Title: I enjoyed this very much
Review: If you're looking for a remarkable novel, well crafted with lyrical prose and deep meaning, then do not read True to the Game. But if you're looking for a great little book about the street life, with an interesting story line and very believable characters; then by all means do read True to the Game. Practically everyone compares it to The Coldest Winter, and I found myself doing the very same thing. After I discovered that this book in fact was written way ahead of The Coldest Winter, I began to relax. If this book had been published and given wide spread publicity back in 1994 (or 93) when it was orginally written..well there would have been no comparison. We all would have considered it off the hock. I loved the characters, especially Gena and Quadir. They were so in love! And as for all the death and violence in the book, well, read the paper, look at the news..it's all real. Good Book and a quick read!
