Summary: COOL DADDY
Review: Another great book from mr Goines daddy cool the hit man of the 80's this was the 4th of Donald books and this was a great book.The way daddy cool handled his hits with the knives was great and gives you in detail what's going through his mind at the time....The best hit was the hit on his stepson's for raping the little girl they deserved it. While I was reading that it made me sick the fact that they had successfully got the money but insisted on raping the youg girl the book overall was great and I wish the cool daddy could have made it through to a sequel.. Donald Goines is the greatest author that ever wrote!!!!!!

Summary: Finally
Review: I believe this is the fifth book that I've read from Goines and for awhile, I was starting to wonder 'Why are people so into him?' The last two books I read from him were not good. But this one, wow! I didn't want to put it down. It was an easy, believable read all the way through. Ofcourse, Goines is on point with the dialogue, gives me a reasonable amount of descriptions, and the plot was smooth, but that's all his stories. But this one did something that a few have not--he didn't add unnecessary characters, his characters developed accordingly, and they were all well-rounded. This is the story of a hustler/killer who can't handle his daughter as a prostitute and his stepsons as beginner criminals. He can destroy everything else that bothers OTHER people but can't seem to handle his own problems.

Summary: Daddy Cool a street book.
Review: I give the book "Daddy Cool by Donald Goines five stars. "Daddy Cool" is a realistic getto fiction book that is about a ruthless hitman who would do anything to keep his daugther from staying a prostitute. what is good about "Daddy Cool"is your not forced to read it because once you read one page your going to read other pages and before you know it you have finished the book. "Daddy Cool" is a fiction book but ther are some events in the book that can really happen. I was so satisfy with the book "Daddy Cool" that I went on to read more of Donald Goines books. so far I have read "Crime Partners" and "Street Players".

Summary: Daddy Cool
Review: I thought that this book was very good that is why i gave it five stars. Once i picked up the book i could not put it down. Goines' books are very hood, and you could relate to some of the characters. In this book basically what happens is that the main character Larry a.k.a. Daddy Cool gets in to an argument with gis daughter Janet, and she moves out. Before she moves she is involved with a boy named Ronald who is a pimp. He turns her out and she ends up on the corner. and it all go down hill from there. But the book was very interesting and i reccomend to anyone who wants to stay intrigued.

Summary: 'Daddy Cool' ain't no fool....
Review: Larry Jackson is a hitman. When his teen-aged daughter gets seduced by a sleazy pimp, he sets in motion plans for sweet revenge. When I first heard people calling author Donald Goines the 'Black Shakespeare' I was very skeptical. That is, until I read this book! There are definitely elements of 'Hamlet' and Alexander Dumas' classic 'The Count of Monte Cristo' --- set to a ghetto theme of course. Revenge is a dish best served cold the saying goes and the surprise ending here will have the reader on the edge of their seat.

Summary: More than what you think initially
Review: This book was much more than what I thought it would be. Goines brings Daddy Cool, a professional hit man, to the forefront. The thing is this is much more than a man out killing people. It's another example of him having a story within a story. His daughter runs away from home after a heated argument one night, and that is when the story really picks up. Now Cool has his job to do, which was stressful enough, and has to locate his daughter, as well as having problems at the house with his two stepsons, who know all too well what was going on without letting Daddy Cool know about it until it was too late. Another classic by a classic writer.

Review: This was the first book of Donald Goines I read and I was like I would never read another one of his books. I was really disappointed because everybody was talking about how good of a author he was. I decided to give him another try and found out this was like the only book that was horrible. I enjoy reading all of the other books but this one I just was not feeling. Janet left her father home to sell her body for nickles and dimes. Her father would have given her anything. The father was killing people with a knife. Back then they had guns. I just did not like this one.

Summary: Donald Goines Was So Talented
Review: What an excellent pageturner. What a talented author Donald Goines was He will be missed.This was a great story about a father and daughter relationship that anyone could relate to rich or poor. How sad when a parent raises their child to be the best and then that child falls victim to the streets or to the world. Many parents that were raised poor or in the ghetto think if they give their child everything they didn't have as a child their child will end up succeeding but in reality that doesn't always happen. What the parent is doing is setting that child up to fail. What an enlightening read.
