Negative Positive
Title: Horrible at best
Review: I was able to get through the first few chapters of this book. The story was not able to flow very well as the book is overrun with slang terms (he keeps interjecting to explain the meanings) that I swear he must have made up in his shower, b/c depending on what part of the states you are from you will not understand. It is a typical tale of a hustler on lockdown who has Ms. Perfect (educated, intelligent, affluent with a great career) who hangs on his every word praying for the years to go by as she patiently waits for him to be released and get his "legit hustle on". It is also full of typos (who the heck proofreads these things). Unfortunately this book feeds into a lot of stereotypes about African Americans, but I suppose an upside to the situation could be that it at least has black folks reading (even if it is something from this junk-filled literary genre).
Is the review positive or negative?
