Didn’t Like It “I've had this book on my shelf for a while and decided to pick it up yesterday. I'm normally disappointed in "street novels" but this was a good read. It was fast paced and full of action. A sad story but so true story of the consequences of smoking crack...... Shevi” see full review » see other reviews » |

“At 17 Donald "Don-Don" Haskill was like most teen boys, he smoked weed, drank beer, avoided school and partied for weeks on end. Don-Don's hustle was to dictate how exactly his team was going to come up with some cash by either shooting ball or dice to keep there pockets laced.

It's just like a man to let his little man lead him into unmarked territory. Don-Don was in for a quick lay and got played, hooked, and snatched by Juanita; a crack addicted sister who had this young boy SLIPPING. It didn't take long for Don-Don to forsake his family, friends, and ego to take a puff of the demon.
The game is cold but fair. With crack and Juanita by his side Don-Don is up for the hustle to maintain his habit and his woman. As Don-Don comes up with some serious merchandise his plan gets twisted as he's being sought in the notorious streets of Chicago by thugs and the police.
Blak, is a talented writer who even turns a "Clucker" into someone that you can relate to. No joke you're reading and wondering exactly how many lives Don-Don has? Real gritty action packed tale that will keep you flipping dying to see what's going to happen next.”
“Excellant!!! I have read the author other two books, and he is still on the job. Sad story this is what going on in real life. Our young women and men addicted to crack, really not only crack, but other drugs. The character in this story smoke crack for so long, but yet he still continue to functions so well, until the end. Really made me stop and seriously think about drugs and our young women and men. Read this book in one day. All young people should read this book. Gave it to my grandchildren to read. ”

“This book was good. The story was sad cause the boy was kind of young to be turned out on crack like he was. Very well written.”
