Rating: 4 stars
Summary: GREAT STORY
Review: This book was something that I am sure that many black males have faced in todays society. The story involes a 19 year old named Thai Williams who lives in the 'hood' part of Washington D.C. He caught his girlfriend cheating on him with another man, so he decides to handle his buisness. But, things don't turn out the way that he wanted them to, in fact he does something that he ends up seriously regretting.
The book was a easy read but it kept me very interested. Dark touches on the violence and pressure that black males face in the inner city and how hard it is to escape these problems. Even though Thai knows that being away from D.C and his friends will actually help him mature and get on with his life, he has a very hard time deciding if he will move away from there when given the perfect chance.
Hopefully there is a sequel:)

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not what I expected
Review: When I read that the book was about a young black male that had killed a man in rage, I thought, "yeah a great read". Wrong! Dark was boring and it lacked the action that it desparately needed.
Thai (the main character) took a week to get his thoughts together, have great sex, find more trouble with another girl, and thats about it for the book.

I bought this book because I want to support young authors starting out. Maybe things will get better with time.
