The seven Davis brothers made a promise to their mother that they would all make somethng of themselves and watch out for their younger brother.The boys didn't stick to their promise they lived the Street life gets you one of two things jail or dead. The seven Davis brothers made a promise to their mother that they would all make somethng of themselves and watch out for their younger brother.The boys didn't stick to their promise they lived their life as thuggs.The baby brother however grew up a whole different way he wanted to be something in life.One night the night before he was leaving to Stanford University changed his whole life around and made the bothers life worse.While fighting a tragedy in his life and being falsely accused of it baby brother ended up being raped and killed in prison.

After baby brother being falesly accused of killing his girlfriend the day before going to college the brothers lost it.One of the brothers who had became a police officer tried to help his brother as much as he could but it didn't work.The brother who was effected the most was Priest(know as Monster) after going to prison and gettting out decided to get out of the street life.After hearing at a super market that the guy in front of him was the one who raped and killed his brother in prison, Priest became worse than he ever had been.Two brothers who were twins were drug lords.One of the two ended up being killled.The last two got out street life while they had time still and became legit.The Davis brothers of Queens lives didn't end up as their mother wanted.

The author gave good deatils throughout the book helping you understand the brothers lives.She kept the pace steady and never gave little deatil everythng was fully expalined.The dialogue used in the book didn't reflect on the boys lives.The authors used street language when necessary in you understanding how the boys were.

Seven Davis brothers who came up in the hard streets of Queens lives became ruined.Six of the brothers who desired to follow their father foot steps didn't all go through with it.The worse seemed to happen to the good.Its a good book I would tell young men who live the street life to read it and understand it. ...more "
