Love, Betrayal and Loyalty on the Streets of Harlem

Daruis, a.k.a. Rio, the only child of a singer turned alcoholic, feels he has nothing to hold on to except the idea of escaping the ghetto. Years ago, he took a gun charge for a friend and did some prison time. Unable to find a job when he gets out, Rio turns to hustling as a way out. In the meantime, Rio finds escape in the arms of his soulmate, Trinity.

When Trinity's mother died, her abusive father looks to her to play the role of house wife and bedmate. Trinity finds strength to endure in Rio's arms. Together they vow to do whatever it takes to make it out of the ghetto. But soon they find their backs against the wall when the streets come to claim their due.

Assessment Containing Books Street Dreams

I struggled to finish this book. Eh.

With this being my first full-fledged introduction to the writing of K'wan, I chose to take my time in reading this novel.Needless to say, it was well worth the wait.K'wan takes you deep inside the streets featuring the lives of Darius "Rio" Santana, his lady Trinity and a cast of characters that are loyal, or so one thinks. Trying to find a legitimate job seemed to be a dead end for the smart man hustling drugs part time, until the opportunity of a lifetime lands in his lap.Just when things

Content warnings: Childhood sexual assault, rape, incest, paedophilia, murder, violence, drug use, alcohol use, mentions of blood and goreI think this was the most depressing books of K'wan's I've ever read. Just...damn. The ending was some Romeo & Juliet type shit...I had a feeling well before the ending (somewhere around 70% of the book) that it would be like that but crap on a cracker. The last two chapters were the most depressing (though the ending of the book/last chapter was pretty

I absolutely love this book. This book has a whole lot of characters, and I was able to keep up with each one, while also being intrigued by their storylines. Not once was I confused, or felt a break or slowness in the plot. In this story you meet a great deal of different characters. Rio, an intelligent young man, who wants more than just a hood life, and is trying to be legit. But what happens when he is being groomed to take over something he doesn't want, and a flaw in his plan changes his

I am on page 82 and there are already been 4 typos and a word not used correctly. The book is about 300 pages long so I am guessing I have about another 10 more typos to look forward to... Okay, so I finished reading the book. It turned out to be a great but sad story. Wow, the ending, I figured the story would end the way it did but I still held hope for Rio and Trinity. Overall, quick read full of action.

It's always the good girl who is the Thugs ride or die. People underestimate the Good Girl. They underestimated Trinity who I would say was the master mind to help keep Rio on the Top of the Totem pole. If it wasn't for her ideas and her making plans for their future there is not telling where Rio would have been.Rio was a good boy too and just wanted to do whatever he had to do to make sure that his family was taken care of. Different situations happened in his life and they drove him deeper

This was my first novel written by K'wan. I must say that I thorougly enjoyed it.
