Title: I'm glad I waited for the paperback
Review: I give the author credit for coming up with an interesting premise -- the relationship between three 30-something upper middle class Black males and their day-to-day struggles. I even liked how the lead character left a cushy job at a big company to pursue entrepreneurship. But the lapses in the storyline and the numerous grammatical errors are distracting. And even though most of the affluent Black folks I know do NOT carry on the way these characters did in this book, I think I know what he was trying to do. It seems like he was trying to present an image of successful people who remained down-to-earth. Still, this book fell far short of my expectations and all of the hype. The elements of good fiction are a compelling story, multifaceted characters, and prose that flows. This book didn't have any of that.
