review 1: This book is called Queen Bee, the author is Mark Anthony. This book is about a group of girls that move from Brazil and buy a strip club but they also have prostitutes. Over all they make a lot of money off of this but the money changes them. There names are Essence, Destiny, and Brazil. Brazil and destiny were best friends until Essence made it seem like Brazil was being faulty to Destiny. Essence wanted Brazil gone s she could make more money so she told Destiny all these lies about Brazil and had hr shoot her in front of her daughter school right after she drops her off. Brazil didnt die but she was in really bad conditon. Essence plan worked out almost like she wanted it Brazil didnt die but after Destiny shot Brazil, Essence called the police and told them that she s... moreaw a shooting infront of the elementery school. So Destiny ended up in jail. Essence was very happy she was having sex with Brazils man and Destiny was in jail. All three of the girls ended up having HIV, Destiny was still in jail and the other two were free but were dead women walking. I liked this book alot because even though it ws grossily detailed it was very very intersting and it always kept me surprised you never knew what was coming next. I recommend this book to poeople that like drama.
review 2: A clunky, clumsy, poorly written plot that steamrolls forward relentlessly as three women involved in a strip club's prostitution ring ruthlessly betray and one-up each other in their quest for money and power. Surprising moralization at the end about the importance of using protection during sexual intercourse, because you never know when a 'ho with HIV might be trying to infect any and everyone stupid enough to go at it bareback with her.This book seems like it keeps trying to stay one step ahead of you with all the twists and turns and betrayals it throws out. But I don't understand why each of the three main characters' chapters is written in the first person when it seems so clunky and odd, and also often strange chapter headers are needed to indicate when we're going back in time to an event that happened several chapters ago. Overly complicated and unnecessarily confusing. Also, just completely absurd with all the ridiculous "shockers" the author keeps having to escalate in order to keep interest in the story. But to what end? All of the three main characters are horrid in their own way, so I was kind of rooting for all of them to kill each other. In the end, the least sympathetic character "wins".Ah well, I still gobbled it up. Still suitably sleazy and depraved for this sort of genre. Guess I should take it at face value and stop expecting decent writing and character development and all that high-falutin' stuff. less
