Very tough and brutal read of life in the hood amongst those driven by money, greed, and fashion. The heroine is ruthless but sympathetic reflection of the drug culture ethos of flashy cars and obsession with power. Keeps you in the chair.

Could not put this book down. Still thinking about it weeks later. Two thumbs up for sure.

I read this years ago and still remember it vividly.

Dope book. Once you start reading it ain't no stopping

Both raw and forthright in the narrative - strong moral undertones, but without being really preachy!
This edition comes with more of the author's thoughts in the "collector's edition" appendices.

Great story and character development. Sister Souljah's words are raw and upfront!

keep your friends close but not to close cause they will stab you in the back.

As a born and raised girl from the Brooklyn "pj's", this hood novela is fun, raw, upfront and an entertaining read.

great book, but I didn't like how I could guess what happened next. I was looking forward to more curiosity and suspense.

A cautionary tale of the downfall of an entire family due to drug dealing. At the end of the book, the author goes into great details of the main charactar weakness and strengths.

My only critique is that I would have liked to get more into the head of Sister Souljah and the main man who Winter fell in love with and sadly was fated to love from afar.
