Summary: This book has just enough of everything!
Review: Roy allows the reader to establish a personal relationship with the characters. Is It A Crime was very intriguing, exciting, romantic and hard to put down. It has the workings for a great movie. Each chapter leaves you hungry for more. I'm looking forward to more work from this aspiring author.

Summary: True to the Game
Review: Ruthlessness, backstabbing and deceit are trademarks of a lifestyle that only few can imagine. Enter the world of "Vicious" Mike Black and "Shy" Cassandra Sims. Never expecting to find someone who could understand the real meaning of loyalty and love, they both encounter what destiny has placed before them.Mike Black, a successful ex-drug dealer gone straight, is at the top of his game. With a string of legitimate businesses behind him, he has finally shaken off the stigma of being perceived as a cold-blooded killer. Cassandra Sims, a smart and energetic woman with two business degrees, also wants a piece of the pie. Discarding a life of being in corporate America, she settles for another way of making money and does it well: drug-dealing. What ensues is a whirlwind of activity that draws the two of them together. They soon realize that they were meant for each other, but at what cost? Mike's problem: she's in the game. Cassandra's problem: her game is slipping. Can they actually find common ground, love one another and still be successful before someone gets seriously hurt? IS IT A CRIME is fast-paced and shows the inner-workings of both sides, good and bad. Roy Glenn challenges readers to embrace the characters throughout this street-based, but nonetheless poignant love story. One thing's for sure: you quickly come to understand the meaning of "watch your back". Reviewed by T. Belinda Williams

Summary: A wonderful book.
Review: The author did a great job keeping me interested until the end. The characters' dialogue seems as natural as talking on the phone to people I know. IS IT A CRIME combines a good romantic story with mystery and suspense. I can't wait to read his next book.

Summary: It IS a crime...................
Review: The cover of this novel was a complete turn-off to me, but I got past that and read the book anyway. Disappointing. Character development was poor, storyline was sterotypical and unrealistic. Clearly the author neither lived a lifestyle as indicated in his book, nor did his research well. This was a storyline reminiscent of Superfly or Shaft--although not as well done. I think that Black writers need to raise the bar--and we as Black readers need to raise our level of expectation regarding a good read. DYB

Summary: A typical collage of diluted [writing]!
Review: This book is awful! The writing [stinks], the characters [stink], and the plot is not existent. The story line presents a stereotypical picture of Blacks selling drugs and justifiable killings of people for "business purposes". Yet the main characters are supposedly "educated" and "grounded." I didn't go any further than the 2nd chapter.
