Plot Overview (from the back of the book)
Lamont “Hood” Mason is a fearless nineteen-year-old gansta who was born and raised in the projects of Brooklyn, New York. He was an abandoned child who roamed the cold city streets and fought hard for his survival. The only thing constant in his young life was the safety of a Brownsville barbershop owned by a father figure called Fat Daddy.
The barbershop is where Hood comes of age, but cutting hair isn’t the only thing Fat Daddy has going on. His daughter, Egypt, is the love of Hood’s young life, and the one person whose dreams of a stable future can lead him off the grimy urban corners and out of the hustling life.
But when Fat Daddy gets caught slippin and crosses paths with Xanbar, a notoriously brutal drug kingpin, his vices threaten to bring death down on the family Hood loves. In an effort to protect his own, Hood and his best friend and hustling partner, Dreko, take to the streets on a bloody mission that doesn’t go exactly as planned. Hood returns to find his world turned upside down by a wave of sex, violence, and betrayal. No longer the starving kid on the street, he’s now a man seeking vengence and retribution, and he might be forced to choose between bending or breaking as he picks up the shattered pieces of his life, one by one.

I couldn’t read this book fast enough to find out what was going to happen next. Then when I did finish it, I was mad that it was over. This book will leave you shock, emotional, an cheering and booing.

This book actually had me cryin and made me sleep in my little 4 year old daughter’s room. It’s really good and at the same time leaves a sick feeling in my stomach, especially where Dreko is concerned. But the book really keeps you wanting to pick it up and see what’s going to happen next.
