Summary: Maybe Fiction but the "GAME" is real
Review: At the beginning of the book it may say that this book is based on fiction,but if you read the book you can see how a real pimp is able to put the game down and get his "scratch". Also keep in mind that Iceberg Slim spent 25 years pimpin'and he can only remember certain things,but speaking as a player myself you can honestly read the book and say his game was tight(with some help from Sweet Jones).In closing the way Iceberg was pimpin' in the 1940s and 50s is still being done in 2001 and will continue onward because PIMPIN'WILL NOT DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: A world unseen, a world undreamed...
Review: This book is like nothing I've read. First it's about a world I could never have been a part of, and could never have imagined. Second, it's energy is high and infectious. You cannot put this book down. Third, the characters are rich and varied, and Slim see's everything. Fourth, the book is real. Slim can bring even the most mundane event in a Pimp's life to vivid reality.This is not a book I will soon forget.

Summary: Pimp the story of my life
Review: I feel this is a great book, and yes at the beginning of the book Iceberg did state this was of a fictitious nature, however many people overlook the depth at which he delivers the con games and hustle mentally put fourth from an era of the great depression. Several of the tactics used in this book are out dated, and no one should go out trying to be a pimp today using iceberg's strategy derived from this writing, however the way this book was writtne is what makes it a great read.

Summary: not good
Review: People don't be fooled by this book. It's total fiction!!! If you read the in the very beginning of the book(the third page). It says "This is a work of fiction, all the names and places are fictitious". I got to give big ups to the people out there who also said it was fictious too, and they are right. Don't go out there trying to pull some of the stuff u read in the book, you gonna look bad. One

Summary: Not worth Reading...tell ya why:
Review: It's Fiction.
Period. Now, this is not my "opinion", mind you... I am telling you: the category of this work is Fiction. Can I say it any plainer...? Yes, I am telling you that of all of those reviews stating what Iceberg "knows", and what he "overcame", honestly, not one of them knows how to read a book... that's what I thought when I recieved my copy and opened the cover, turned to page one, then page two, then page three... and there on the inside of page three were these words: "This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places, and
incidents are either the product of the author's imagination or
used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual events or locals or
persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental." To be honest, I was flabberghasted, and the book just dropped in my hands as I shook my head and thought to myself "not ONE of those people who wrote reviews of this book knows how to read a book..." I just sat there incredulous for a few minutes...but after a few minutes I resolved to read it anyway, heck, I paid for the dang thing, I expected to get something out of it (for personal reasons), but the english is so bad, and the attitude so preposterous, I lost total interest by about the 4th page of the story... a total waste of my time and money... Amazon has a gargantuan selection of Fiction far better than this, unless of course your reading level is fairly low and you agree with the view that women are to be used, and abused, and feel no woman can or will ever see anything beneath a facade you conciously erect and go around showing everyone... If you still want to purchase this book on the long-shot that it will help you in your relationships, teach you to be in control, teach you to not be affected by women, or teach you how to control women... think again...and remember when you get the book in your hands, to turn to page 3 and read the words above for yourself... and then after you've read it, when you try to put anything you think you've "learned" into practice and find it doesn't work and causes you all kinds of problems that may take you years to figure out... it's because, dear reader, in a fictional world anything can happen, it's the authors playground, and he creates all the characters and all their dialog, settings and all of their reactions... he chooses the reactions that move his story forward according to the plot he has in mind...and that's something that you'll just never be able to do in real life... it's fiction, folks... not a whit of it ever did happen... and it's unlikely it ever will...

Summary: on the way to stardom
Review: the book "Pimp" has truely changed my life as well as the life of friend of mine. The novels frank and blunt use of street and pimp lingo allows you to get a feel of the pimp and his way of thinking. It gives the reader a new approach and new found confidence when dealing with females. Whether the mark for your cop is a square or lowlife gutter trash "Pimp" gives you every angle in manipulating any woman. I believed i had game before i read this book, but now i know that i'm on my way to stardom.

Summary: ICEBERG STILL DOES THE HUSTLE
Review: Rule number one: The game is meant to be told, not sold. Anyone who tries to sell you the game is trying to put a "Murphy" on you, just like Iceberg describes in the beginning of this book. You want to be a pimp?? Go out on the street and get some game. Like that other reviewer said, the only pimping that will be had from reading this book will be on the streets of Palo Alto and San Jose. I am a true hustler and one of the greatest pimps ever to step foot in California so take it from me: Iceberg is a square and was never ever in the pimp game. This book is funny stuff because everything in it is so wrong and untruthful.

Summary: pimpin aint easy
Review: This book gives an amazingly accurate view of a true pimp's life. Many of the tactics described are used today on the streets of San Jose and Palo Alto by the hustlaz of #cisco. Respect the game.
