review 1: I came across this book while browsing the black literature section at the library, and I'm so glad I found it! And this author! This is a hard hitting autobiography narrated from the point of view of an African American lady growing up in the mean streets of harlam it's gripping, believable funny in some places but also has some very difficult parts to read I really enjoyed the book so much so I've ordered some of her earlier books and ones she mentioned she had read too I can't wait to read 'satin doll' one of her earlier novels. Well done Karen I am a fan! Thank you for sharing your life story.
review 2: I should haver given it 5 stars but selfishly I didn't want I to end. Part autobiographical with life lessons, humor and a heavy dose of reality. WOW! It i... mores a must read. The title can be a bit misleading, the choice words were mixed in but after the prologue where she explains her choice of words, one basically just buckles up for the ride. Her family grew up poor and knew it and some members overcame the odds and others became statistics. I enjoyed how she vividly portrayed the people in her life with such great realism that one couldn't help but understand their situations. The literary foundation encouraged by her mom served her well in her later years and the love of the daughter she wasn't quite sure she wanted defined her in her later years. The Angry Ass Black Woman is passionate, sometimes violent and defiant but as she said "underneath it all is a smart, sassy, happy woman waiting in the cut." Rest assured, she can always revert! So glad I took a chance on this book after reading Berneice L McFadden's recommendation. less
