I am astonished at the positive reviews this book has received. Aside from the laughable editing, I find it unbelievable that anyone could sympathize with the murderous and moronic characters who think nothing of mowing down innocent bystanders in their quest to be king of the drug dealers. They are not only criminals, they are criminally stupid. What self-respecting drug gang manages to get caught in three (or was it four) ambushes. Even I, mild-mannered, country librarian, knew it was a bad idea to put the guns back in the car in chapter 48. This book was a free download from Bookbub. I read it out of curiosity about the genre. I will have to try another "urban" novel, but not until I get the bad taste out of my brain from this one. Ali runs the streets and with help from a crooked cop, he stays on top. Rell is an old school hustler, fresh out of prison and looking to get back in the game so he goes to Ali for a job. Things fall apart quickly when the key players start to lose their tempers. Heading the problems is G-Money, Ali's second, who acts first then thinks about the consequences. This was a really slow read for me. Not much happens for the first half of the book to get me excited. I'm noticing that lately with books, stuff is happening but the authors are not drawing me into the story. I'm not sure if I will read the second one or not.
What do You think about Tears Of A Hustler PT 1 (2010)?
I'm mad at the snitch and that's all I'm gonna say!! On to Part 2 w/a quickness!!
