review 1: This isn't my usual sort of book pick, but once again I must make allowances for the lack of selection of available MP3 audiobooks through the Chicago Public Library. This was actually a good mindless read, especially for listening to during my snow covered commute. The main character, Breeze, has just gotten out of prison after a five year stint. He's trying to fly straight and reconnect with his kids, but, of course, the streets keep calling. The fact that Breeze is an ex con and former drug dealer apparently makes him very attractive to women, because he gets quite a bit of action in this book. (Although, I could have done without the graphic sex scenes...) One of his women, Tenisha, is easily the stupidest woman on the planet. She is supposed to be a bank manager... more but she seems too stupid to even serve as banker for a game of Monopoly. I don't want to give away all of the naive promises she believes and the great things she does, although I must mention that her only other serious relationship was with a leader of a Mexican drug cartel and she thinks it would be great to get her current and former boyfriends together. There were many times that I wanted someone to hit her in the head with something to see if any brains would start functioning. In any case, the book does kind of wrap up quickly and I would have liked to see more development in the story near the end. It seems like the author lost the thread of the story or got sick of writing it in the last couple of chapters. But overall, this is an entertaining book if you're looking for something that is pretty mindless.
review 2: This book was a good read, but I think I'm used to author book Married to the game. But this one was interesting. Breeze goes home after a five year bid, but the streets keeps calling and he tries his best to stay on the right path. Seeing the struggles of not being able to help his mom or his kids he ends up right back on the bad path.Believing that things would be better things turns out not great. With his wife back at her knees wanting him back. With another girl that has a secret and wants Breeze and another girl that has his heart Breeze has much on his plate.Mr. Biggs want his seven cities back after seeing that Breeze is the man and he's willing to do anything to find Breeze.Overall nicely written... less
