When hood banging meets the political side of the streets? The Millionaire's Son Screams!

My Review: The first thing I notice within this book is the author's knowledge of placing into print *street* words. This book is short, so you don't get a clear picture for true character development. It may be a good idea {perhaps with a different publisher} to expand this as more people read this shorter version.

Whiteboy {not white, just a street name} tells the story of his friends and enemies that lurk disguised as friends. He and his mother struggled while his father was a successful businessman. He hustles to try to make some type of life for his mother.

In the end, the map of the book changes, and the slang is the past. Whiteboy finds his true way to improvement and begins on the track for college.

Before picking up this book, be sure that you are comfortable with a lot of adult language {*f* word, etc} and some borderline anti-feminist thoughts.
