 Damn Gena! August 24, 2008
I was pulled in from page one of this book. i truly enjoyed the story. i hated when Shahirah was killed that was not expected and Quadir OMG!!! I liked Quadir for deciding to get out of the game and try to live a normal life. although i hate the fact that he chose selling drugs over going to med school.
I think Ms. Shoog was hillarious i loved her developement. the storyline in this book flowed wonderfully. the drama in this book was intense. but what i don't understand is why Gena always saw the shooter in the car but never told anyone about her first run in? i figure why mention it if she wasn't? it could've only helped her man and his crew to avoid some of the pit falls they had to endure. So that's why i say DAMN GENA instead of trying to buy up Preu you could've prevented alot especially your investment Quadir! the characters always went to the club in this book but it never failed someone always got killed so why would they continue to go and not be prepared with the strickest of security? although this book was good it did lack a lot of common sense on the characters part.
Teri gave us a very climatic ending which i already have some things that i'm sure are going to be cleared up. i just have a feeling that what happened didn't end the way we think it did. Can't wait to crack it open since i have all three! you have a new fan in me Teri!
 TRU 2 DA GAME August 20, 2008
A friend of mine gave me the second part of this book to read and i was so into it that i read it in less than 3 days. I was hooked so i purchased the first of the trilogy. Intense. Really easy to read and keeps you at the edge of your seat. You start and dont want to put it down. you find yourself thinking that you are actually watching these things happen right in front of your face, like you're a witness. Very well written and over dramatic enough to keep you entertain.
Its a unique love story a little too hard to believe, if and only in real life.
A good hood tale August 1, 2008
Teri Woods tells a good story about growing up in the hood. I would reccommend this book to my friends.
 Very good urban novel July 31, 2008
This is a good read, especially if you are into the "urban stories". This one was actually interesting. Writing lacks something- first novel so expected- but good.
