Tommy's story seems to give the readers ample glimpses into a drug dealer's life. However, the contents may be too dark for my choice. Thanks for the insightful review!

I like that the book provides valuable insights into the harsh realities of a drug dealer's life, portraying the violence, danger, and the struggle to maintain a lavish lifestyle. It serves as a cautionary tale, reminding readers of the devastating impact drugs can have on both individuals and communities.

This is not the kind of book I usually like, so I think I'll pass. Nonetheless, your review is very informative and interesting, Nqobile. Thank you!

To be honest, Tommy took a less travelled route to success. I will read "Young Americans" by Peter S. Rush to know if he became successful eventually. Thanks for the beautiful review.

This story really touches my heart. It talks about child abuse and how it shapes and affected child's future. I highly recommend this book to every growing soul...

:no-spoil: I like books where the bad guy, the one dealing with drugs, is actually a likeable character. It shows that there is good in everyone - and even a crook can be fair and correct in his business deals. Happy to have received a free copy, I will surely read the book. :hand:

Latest Review: Deadly Waters: The Vietnam Naval War And Its Aftermath by Randy Miller

Post by Raju Tikale »

This book depicts the actual events of a drug dealer’s life. The violence, the shootings, the prison life, and the lavish life they struggle to maintain.
Above sentence from review says much about the book. It's a good read for new generation who had fallen for LAVISH LIFE short hacks.
