In this consistently tight and well-written/edited story there is thoroughly developed plot with Shakespearian levels of vengance. There isn't the common wandering in the story found in some Street Fiction books where it seems like the author is more bored with the story than the reader. Instead these authors have a strong focus and tell a damn fine story in the process. My only complaint, or perhaps it's just my hope for a sequel, is that I want to know more about what will happen to the Davis brothers. I simply want more of this story! The craziest line I found in the book was "her juices smelled like Fruity Pebbles and it was just about breakfast time" (p. 8). That is so bad that it's brilliant! Seriously, this book is well written while still maintaining the edge of street slang. The book strayed from the usual plotlines as well in that it promoted Baby Brother being a sober driver while out partying with Sari. That might seem small, but responsibility is the main theme in this book. Respobility for your hood, your girl, your brothers! The book is short and a quick read at 153 pages. It is also part of a hot new series of hip-hop novellas couthored by 50 Cent and some of the stars on Street Fiction.
