To Live & Die In LA

by Terry L. Wroten

When struggle over position of power hits the fan, Darrell Davis, a.k.a. Dee Bastard, the presiding general and founder of the dangerous TLB Crip set, decides to wage war on the elders of the block. But when he does, he finds himself doing prison time. Meanwhile, the mean streets of Los Angeles, California are a constant war zone, and the TLB crew, under new management, is waging war on everyone outside of their inner circle. Young, wild, and hard-headed, the TLB crew will find their backs against the wall when the elders of the block decide to reclaim their righteous territory hand over fist. On the other hand, Dee Bastard’s bid in prison has dulled his thirst for violence. He wants nothing more than to go home to his girlfriend and live a normal life, but a series of murders amongst his crew and a ghost from his past change the dynamics of that drastically. In the streets of Los Angeles, you have two to either live or die. The choice is yours

This was a good read. It showed a different side to a common theme. Yes people had sex, sold/did drugs, went to jail, died, etc. There was also another side that wanted more outta life. Well done Terry L Wroton!!

Okay story. I feel like I have read it before. Started out good but then took a turn somewhere. The writing style became redundant and aside from Dee Bastard (the protagonist), the characters seemed to lack focus. The editing/formatting left a lot to be desired and generally I would not take this into consideration but when I get the same passages in sections of the book they shouldn't be, well....

To Live & Die In LA was an ok read. Terry keep my interest but I am not from Cali so I really didn't understand very much about the different gangs that were brought up throughout the entire book. I must say the ending through me for a loop. I was hoping the 2 young men would get a pass and not end up going back to jail.

Let's check this one out by Mr.Wroten, I read Natural Born Killaz so this one should be good also.

I enjoyed the story, however, all the characters having the same name did not make any sense to me but overall, I enjoyed it. It is a gang/prison book and how one man wanted to change his ways.
