The Street's will Talk
Capone brings us a street tale from the streets of “The D” Detroit, Michigan. The way he describes it coupled with my knowledge from 8 Mile the movie, I felt like I could see exactly what he was explaining as I have never been to Detroit. I was drawn into this story and at times felt, it was predictable. I was hoping what I knew to be the outcome would change and even though it did not I still enjoyed the story line. I was not happy with the formatting of the book as the whole book is double spaced and in my eyes looked like it was trying to stretch the book.
Gator is “the” man in the streets with the money, clout, empire, cars, house, wifey and the chicks chasing after him. In other words, he has it going on! With Myth his right hand man holding him down and a team of soldiers Gator is one not to be messed with. When his nephew Deluxe comes home on leave from the military Gator messes with his head and convinces him to go AWOL(Absent with out leave). When jealousy and strife enter into the camp all hell, breaks loose. Gator’s higher than GOD complex causes him to make some foolish moves that cost him dearly. As things go from bad to worst Gator is slowly losing battles. Read the book to find out if he wins the war. See who remains in his corner. See if Gator is able to make a come-up. Can Gator keep it together as his world fall apart? Some parts will shock you and keep you turning pages to see what will happen next.
Capone has the makings to be an author to be reckoned with. I really enjoyed his story telling skills. If he could have made the book less predictable this would have been a 5 star rating, I personally was not happy with the way New Yorkers were portrayed in the book but honestly - this is nothing new!
