Power & Beauty
review 1: Omg this was such a great story to read. I'm from Atlanta and it really got my interest. Power was strong willed and got bad and good help from slim. Beauty didn't want nothing to do with him. She knew he was nothing good from the start. It was sad how power and beauty didn't reunite until 5 years later, in their 20s. They both has experienced a lot. Slim starts to act crazy and weird having dre killed and Wanda's missing. Now he wants to kill power and beauty is the person hopefully that can help him.
review 2: I went into this book with high expectations. TI is a great rapper! Has stage presence and is a convincing actor however, as a writer I am not moved.I bought this book on audio and was able to hear the emotions stressed on the words the way the aut
... morehor intended but even that wasn't enough to draw me in.The book was descriptive and each character's persona was developed. But that's as far as I'm able to go with the positives.This book didn't have a plot! Point blank. Where is the plot? A glimpse into the charactersPower--his nickname wasn't because he was a strong individual mentally or physically but because of his love for a tv show. I was fooled off top because apart of me wanting to read this outside of the fact that it's TI was because I love to read about strong, powerful men/women. I was bamboozled. He was a young man who bowed down to everyone else's power! Fantasized over his adopted sister Beauty (the storyline between this lust/love fiasco wasn't matured enough for me to even overstand why) He was just Slim's tool/fool. His nickname should have been Puppet.Beauty--had the good sense to leave Slim's house and not get caught up in the glitz and glam of Slim's lifestyle. But she fell off after the first couple of chapters and didn't return until the end of the book and by that point I was already too disenchanted with the story to further love or hate her.The other characters were run ons....Blah blah blah. If I at least hated the book as I did For the Love of Money by Shoney K I could go into deeper details but I am in the middle. I was left feeling indifferent. And people only express true emotions if they either had an over the top experience or a horrible one. My experience was just blah!TI--your book has just been blazed!!! less

I thought it was okay for a first book. However, the ending made me want more.
