Southside Hustler Review

Southside Hustler,

Raymir and his crew rob banks and sell drugs. Fast money, fast cars, fast women. Things are running smoothly and he knows things will only get better with the upcoming release of his friend Knowledge from prison. But when a close friend of Knowledge's is killed, Knowledge wages war on the streets bringing unwanted attention to Raymir and his crew.

Does the plot sound familiar? It probably does. It sound like the premise of so many books today. Let's face it, folks, there's nothing new under the sun and we're not re-inventing the wheel. I got that. But what I do expect is for an author to bring freshness, uniqueness and creativity to an oh-so-familiar premise. That was not the case with "Southside Hustler." That does not make it a bad book, just an incredibly average one. At 180 pages, double-spaced (WHY???), there was room for more plot and character development. The editing was also less than desirable. That said, again "Southside Hustler" is not a bad book, but amongst a genre saturated with books, some of which have set a high bar, this novel will struggle for a spot. I hope the author takes all this into consideration before releasing part II.

**What is the Key Program???
