THE LAST RUN Good story need to be longer and more about Zion and Bruh FAIR EXCHANGE NO ROBBERIES Good Story but need more. Incomplete and you kill off the main characters really the wrong way to go. Wanted more loveLovi and Nicky. ROLLIN DICE Wasuan got what was coming. What makes you laugh can also make you cry. Never send your woman to another man you will end up a loser. THE WHOLE BOOK FELT INCOMPLETE TO ME
Two of the authors featured in this 3 short story book are authors that I typically like. The first story seemed unfinished. The second was pretty good. The third was on that I read before. So, while it was pretty good... I feel like I've read it at least twice before. 2.5 stars
It was an ok story. The only reason I got it was because I had read a book by one of the authors. The issues I had with it is that the editor was horrible. there were hyphens in places where it was not needed, paragraphs ended and restarted in the middle of a sentence, and some spots had bold letters. one of the stories, characters were added to the end and you kinda had no idea who they were. One of the other stories just stopped, like they didn't get a chance to finish.
This was a good book and to me tu-shonda's story was the best, I would have like to read the book as a novel instead of just an anthrology but hey the other stories are good to though
