Rules to Live By

“10 Crack Commandments” is the story of a young man coming up in New York City. At a young age he gets into the drug game, resulting in a lot happening to him.

In my opinion, it was a good concept, but it could’ve been told a lot better. At times it was unrealistic. What threw me off was the number of murders that took place and Nut never being questioned, especially the ones done in view of folks. There was also a part where he cocked his guns back, but one of them was a revolver. You can’t cock a revolver; you can only pull the hammer back on it.

The ending was real. When you’re of no benefit, you get kicked to the curb. I recommend “10 Crack Commandments” to anyone who loves the 80’s and 90’s or is looking for a trip down memory lane.

This book was very funny to me. I don’t think it’s a masterpiece by any means, but it’s definitely “so bad it’s good.” I found it at a little free library on a road trip and it cracked me up.

Thats what this book was about jealousy, envy, hate.

Overall great book.

Lil Nut started at 13 selling drugs for Blue Bug. His friends was totally hating on him and jealous of him from the start.

That's when he get robbed for his things and his mom getting knocked around. After that Lil Nut started on point but, yet again he gets robbed again but, this time he fights and ends up shoot.

A girl name Samatha was there for him while he was heeling up she also was getting th shoop of things and found out it was all Lamiek and Lite that did the set up.

After Lil Nut comes from hiding he does everything to stay alive.

As he gets older he starts to run the street and then have his right hand man Butter that is there helping taking care of business.

But, also Butter was working doing his own thing on the side.

Lil Nut and his mom has a close relationship but, then he wanted to move out the projects but, she don't but, he goes ahead and leave with his girl Melissa.

Lil Nut dad told him back when was little to follow the 10 Crack Commandents
What I didn't get he was school his new right hand man Head on the commandents but, Lil Nut also made plenty of mistakes when it came to the commandents.

Overall it was a good read. First time reading anything by this author.
I didn't want to spoil the book for those that never read it but, I gave a quick overall of what I've read with out giving out to much.

First, I thought that it was genius to use Biggie's lyrics for this book. I think that the writer expressed each of his lyric in a very correct way!! Second, this book had me going, it was so good I did not want to put it down..and as for the character Lil Nut, That name fits him well LOL!!
