Well, I've come to the conclusion that Relentless Aaron just isn't for me. :( After not finishing Single with Benefits and having to sort of push myself through this I can't keep going. I already have two others and I plan on keeping those and reading one or both at some point and maybe seeing if I change my mind but this did nothing for me. It was very blah and just didn't grab me.
I thought the whole point of "50's" books (it does say how "real" and "true to life" they are on the back cover) were the reality of street life? It just wasn't here. The back cover says the main character has a fling with a sexy prison official. In the book it comments a few times how she's just okay and then it goes so far as to say she's a "two". That's not sexy where I come from. Another man comments to the main character about how they have similiar parenting styles. Uh, not trying to be rude here but what type of parenting is really done from prison? Let's be serious.
Just not for me and nothing special to speak of. :(
I think the phrase "quality over quantity" needs to be shouted out here.

A convict with lots of experince in his hands. This book got my attention with all the high vacabulary and descritive detail this man used named Jamel. He talks about he's present life in prison, how he loved and still loves his children. Many other women from the prison write to him, they admire his personality and what he does. It tends to lead to a happy ending withch was a positive. Freedom, he thought he had it but soon enough he ended up in this cell of outar society, soon his two wifes n kids are effected

This book sucked, I stoped paying attention to it around halfway. There was nothing about this story that I found interesting or liked. I do not recommend this book to anyone that likes books with violence because it had none of that.
