Ice by Will "Half & Half" Robbins was a very engaging and interesting read. Being an avid reader I wanted to open up my selections so I read this one just because I was asked to. I am glad I did. This book is filled with hard knocks, the street life, pains, hurts, wants, power and humor. I could "see" it as I read it.

Mr. Robbins did an exceptional job of telling some gritty, hard stories of people growing up in Elizabeth, New Jersey in an engagingly interesting and even funny manner. These are tales of people that do what they feel they have to do until you can do better; those choosing live the drug life and of those that want power are fast hitting, dangerous, drama filled and sad but there is triumph as well.

I enjoyed this book tremendously and am waiting on his next one.

I thought this book was going to be a little boring at first but when I first opened it immediately captured my attention. It was about a young boy who chose between the street life or going to finish school and college. He had to deal with many struggles like family, friends, relationships, death and of course school. The theme in this story is working hard because even with all he had going on he still managed to stay focused on his goal. I’m happy I read this book after all because if I didn’t I would’ve missed out on something very good. I give this book four stars!!!
