The Rose That Grew From Concrete

Summary: the rose that grew from concrete
Review: My people argue whether or not that tupac is alive. Either way, he lives through the pages of his book. this book makes it possible to get into tupacs head and to some level understand the thoughts and emotions of the legend of his time and forever more. I would suggest that every one read this book. A good book like this is hard to find and only comes around a few times in a life time.

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: Many people have criticized Tupac throughout and after his life. This collection of his own poetry shows the softer side and parts of him many people (including myself) didn't know about him. Yet another way his legacy lives on!

Summary: 2pac's spirit, his energy and his ultimate message of hope
Review: I'm a big 2pac fan. And though I knew he wasn't all only about violence and gangsterstuff, this book made me realize even more that by his death one of the most talented artists of the nineties was lost. Reading these poems written in his own hand at the age of 19, helps you to understand his own feelings on the world better. It helps you to see the person behind the thug!

Summary: RESPECT
Review: First, I have to say that while this book was incredibly moving and breathtaking, I was not surprised at just how truly amazing it was. All of these people that are 'shocked' at seeing the softer side of tupac are not true fans of the man from the start. I consider this collection to be the best work that pac left us. These poems are stronger and more meaningful than anything else that he ever did (not to disrespect anything else that he did). To me, these poems are another source of inspiration that we are blessed to have come in contact with. 2pac will always be my hero because of the way that he lived his life for himself and no one else. That is the true definition of being a thug because he didn't change for anyone, no matter what they said or thought of him. Much love, RIP 2pac.

Summary: Deep
Review: No, some may disagree but tupac is alive. He is telling us this through his works of poetry. I think this is a great book, a great insight on what was going on in his teenage years as well as what is going on around us today.

Summary: did you listen?
Review: It's unfortunate that a brilliant mind of this stature could produce several albums of music, containing over a hundred songs, and we didn't listen to the words. Fortunately, this book represents Tupac's thoughts and feelings without beats, jams and choruses. My hope is that after reading this book of poems, one would actually go back and listen to some the lyrics that he spoke. This book is excellent as it allows Tupac fans, readers and others to see this talented mind in another light. His talent cannot be questioned, his lyrics are unparalleled, and his poems will prove to be an unequivocal success.

Summary: The best book ever!
Review: This book is by Tupac Shakur and he has a heart.As you read this book you'll understand that he does. He a lso has a lot of anger to guve the world. Most of his poems are for one girl but you just have to think that he was writing it for you! I love him!

Summary: Finding A Rose!
Review: I stumbled onto this book by accident. I was looking for a poet from another century and saw the Tupac book. I picked it up and was quite surprised by its contents. Tupac had a side I never dreamed existed as most of us do. I was extremely touched by his words. It made me see him in a way I never knew or dreamed I would. I would recommend this book for poetry lovers of all ages. I was so moved by his words, that while I didn't have enough cash or my checkbook on me, I did have my ATM card. I left the bookstore,went and got cash,came back and purchased it. I truly found a rose!
