Eviction Notice: A Hood Rat Novel (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
Porsha, Sahara, and Frankie find out that the money they have been paying for rent, for the apartment they have been subleasing, hasn't been reaching the housing department. They have 72 hours to pay the rent or they will be evicted. I thought that was what this book was going to about, but I was wrong because there were way too many other things going on.King James decided while serving a bid, that he would take over the streets upon his release....and that's just what he did. With his crew and right-hand man, Lakim his reign begins. Everything is fine until he violates the underworld crime lord, Shai Clark. This is a situation that turns violatile and unleashes the beast....Animal.Being saved by K-Dawg from a lengthy prison stay, Animal finds himself in Puerto Rico longing for his life as he once knew it. He is missing his muse, Gucci, but he has no idea of how he can get back to her. K-Dawg and Justice have him in the middle of a political war. After being informed that his lady has been critically wounded, nothing will stop Animal from making his way back to her. Too much going on, with too many characters, and the scenarios were not connected. Each one of these situations could very well be a stand alone book. The book just wasn't a banger book like I know K'Wan can, and have written. IJS The Hood Is On Fiyah!!After getting an Eviction notice Porsha, Frankie, and Sahara are angry to find out that the money given to Debbie to pay housing was reassigned to suit her own needs.Knowing that they're gonna have to deal with slimy Debbie about the stunt she pulled is a given; but the matter at hand is in a few days they will be thrown out onto the streets with their belongings joining the ranks of the homeless.With a vengeance Porsha, Frankie, and Sahara, each set out to do what they have to do to raise the rent money. On a mission that at first seemed frustrating but obtainable, soon turns into a case of MURDER SHE WROTE!Just when I was hoping that Don B would show he had a heart somewhere in that big ole chest of his...but nah, he reaches deep down into his bag of tricks, and what he does cements his place among the scum of the earth!King James is a cocky bastard who feels just because he's flossing a little money and has a street team holding him down that he is King of the world. But when he shows out in front of none other than the legendary Shai Clark and his gangsta squad, the clash between these two shake the hood violently, leaving many scarred, revengeful, and dead. The clash and its casualties is felt even in a far away land where an Animal is about to rise from the dead!!!There is so much good story to talk about between the 438 pages of this book I can't fit it all in a review.K'wan has planted many seeds in this story, two of them are Ashanti and Alonzo aka Zo-Pound with that said, the next installment in this series just can't come quick enough for me!Kwan’s talent has grown by leaps and bounds and his latest book "Eviction Notice" is a testament to this. The whole package is a fantastic Urban Literary Monument that exceeds the best of my expectations in the category of Urban Street Literature!*Standing Ovation*Locksie October 16th 2011ARC Book Club Inc.Star Rating 5.0*****

I didn't like this book. I stopped on chapter 4. It felt like it wasn't going anywhere.
