Gangsta

This book had me intrigued from start to end. I read it in almost 1 day. I love the characters and I can envision them as real people. Great read!!!!

I was really surprised by this book. I was expecting the usually and I was mistaken. I luv how he showed the good and bad side of gangs. You will have so many emotions while reading this book. If you luv urban fiction this is a must have book. I will 4ever be a fan of K'Wan now. Get the sequel too.

Obviously with a title such as Gangsta you shouldn't expect anything less then the gritt & grime of street life, hustlin' & gang bangin'. However, let me start off by saying Gangsta is the first book I read by K'wan and it just so happened to be my FAVORITE street-lit love story. Lou-Loc, the main character in the story is a young street banger hustlin' his way through life, with crazy twists and heavy betrayal all he wants in life is to make it out of the game and settle down with his TRUE LOVE, SATIN! OMG, I cried soo hard in this book. The characters are well-developed so you truly feel their emotions. If you can get past the slang, and the grammar you are in for a REAL TREAT! 5 stars hands down!

K'wan has written a heated novel that keeps you curious as to what will happen next. Lou-loc & Satin tried - but the deck was stacked against them from the beginning. The revenge that Gutter ultimately got for his brother was sweet. This book is a page turner from page one. I really enjoyed the character of Cross - MUCH creativity on that one! Mega respect to you, K'wan for your work - you laid it down!....a HIGHLY recommended book for all to read.

I search for the right words to express this great and well written novel.It's gripping from start to finish. I found myself right there with the characters and the author's abiltity to turn suspense drama, comedy and love into a most read. The pain and agony I felt for the two best friends. Their struggles, and the triumphs over obstacles and lou-loc's thoughts to make it further than what the street gave yet had to deal with the hand he was dealt(life on the street).

This book was one of the greatest books I have read in 2003. I mean I read it in like 2 days. I say this I hope a movie will be made from this book. K'wan is a truly talented blessed brother who tells the whole story. I have lent this book to several people and they are like damn, damn, damn.....I would advise anyone to read this u won't be sorry. I can't wait for his next joint to drop because trust me I will be first on line, rollers still in hair, slippers on that's right the first in line......wooooooooooooooooooo
