Title: Soul should have REMAINED on ice!
Review: Come off it! Eldridge Cleaver is just another criminal rapist who thinks he got smart in Prison. This book is so bad! It's supposed to be iconoclastic and insightful but it's really just a showcase for the extensive lexicon that Cleaver has. Serously, though, this book reads like that In Living Color skit where those dudes pontificate while they misoginate because they're ingrates and who cares what they ate! So if you are in for hearing how the Man has repressed his human brother for 400 years with a liberal sprinkling of .50 cent words then this book is for you. And there's really only one good essay dealing with prison life (the rest is junk, bunk, no GOOD). If you want to read the real deal forget this book and check out something by Donald Goines or Iceberg Slim.
