AND I YOU, MY KING
Okay so let me admit that I paid for this book twice! Just because I sincerely needed to leave a review. I personally purchased the book from the Authors and read the paper back. I also purchased the e version, because this is the book of 2017, and I needed to leave a review to let people know. I could go deep with the review but I care not to spoil anything.
I am baffled that there aren't at least a few hundred five star reviews posted because this is my favorite book by FAR. Could it be the beginning? The beginning doesn't kick off with drama, which is a lazy readers specialty. A true reader gives himself time to get to know and connect with each character. The language kind of threw me off in the beginning, the slang that was used. As you read further into the book you realize they are Italian, so the slang makes sense. Also every single detail down to the smallest one, is needed to build such a masterpiece. If you have ever heard a song called LET THE BEAT BUILD by Lil Wayne, it starts off with a basic track and upon every loop, another instrument is added, later on manifesting into a serious jumbalaya of art and that is exactly what this read like.
On another note, I'm not sure how I am supposed to get off this book high and go back to reggie reading. I am a satisfied reader!!
