Well done is all I can say. This author has been selling her books down in brooklyn and at the bus terminal so her book has made it to Albany where a few of my friends were talking about it so I had to see what all the hype was about.
WELL......Tech was the man if you ask me to have gone through so much tragedy and to be in love with a chickenhead that pretended to hold him down when she really wasn't holding him down. Then to get released and to still have beef on the streets. That's enough drama to depress any man but not Tech he still keeps his head up throughout all the strife. This was another well done AA read. I am awaiting THE GAME CHOSE ME..... I'll be the first one at the bookstore to get my copy.

Such talent to be so young. This book is a MUST READ. It takes you to the hood. What I like the most about it is that it takes you to MY hood. It was well written with a few mistakes here and there, but none too, too noticable. I especially liked the way the author has the characters praying to God, which makes the "hood" novel seem so real and touching. Besides the killing, slang talk, and hood life setting, the author shows that God is still amongst us even when we're in dark places. Tech, even though he goes through it, end the end receives his blessings from up above. Job well done, Miss Clarke.

I bought this book at my train station in the Bronx and I was privileged enough to meet the wonderful authors of this novel. I think it's really important that we continue to support our young brothers and sisters who are working together to make good things happen, and these two definitely have my support. the plot from the beginning was well thought out and they didn't try to glamorize the whole idea of the hood. you could see the images that they were trying to convey, and anyone whether you're rich or poor, hood or wherever you from you can understand the struggle. Tech was a well developed character and I'm glad that there will be a sequel to this book. Tech is the symbol of any young man or woman with the odds against them that is trying to come out on top and out of the situations of their past. I enjoyed reading the novel and it is definitely worth a good reading and definitely a great buy! I hope that the authors ebony and dante continue to make moves in this writing game and may all their days be blessed. no one can say that they can't relate to what this story is about, it truly is a hot book. everyone has a tech in their life, everyone definitely got a nicky, there's always a "prince" or a "lite" in everyone's life and the story just flows greatly. Most importantly, they kept the power of prayer within the novel, too often many authors that write about the hood forget to do that. god don't forget the hood. if you're looking for a book that shows the struggle, the betrayal, the revenge and the overcoming of all these issues, this is definitely a hot book. i'm looking forward to reading the next book that comes out soon!! hope you enjoyed the review and keep supporting them, great things are about to happen!!
