Whoreson: The Story of a Ghetto Pimp

Rating:
Summary: Whoreson was a trip!
Review: Whoreson is a great book, it is however explicit and harsh. But that keeps the book real. I would say this is my favorite Donald Goines book but I'd be lying because I liked "Black Girl Lost" and "Dopefiend" as much as I liked Whoreson. Whoreson was better though because it was a longer book. In the book Whoreson we get to see Whoreson grow up from a small boy into a "Man", why he was named Whoreson and why he was born a Pimp/street hustler. And that he really had no other choice in life. Thats all he knew. Something about Whoreson's character makes you like him even though he is ignorant as hell. There are lots of twists and turns, excitement as well as let downs that makes you just want to keep reading. As I said before it is a book for a mature reader as the sex and violence is harsh. I really enjoyed reading Donald Goines books and am reading "Black Gangster" and "Cry Revenge" right now so far they are worth the money I spent and exciting reads as well.

Summary: Welcome to a whole new world!!!
Review: Wow, is all I can say. This book takes the reader on a journey that many readers will never experience. I personally didn't know some of the hardship you have to endure to be a pimp. I am not saying that its the best job in the world, but you must give credit where credit is due. Whoreson Jones is the best character of any Goines book. Again, the imagery that is provied makes you believe you are actually there. This is something that Mr. Goines and a few other authors have been ablre to do, but he is the master. This book is great from beginning to end. Its one of those books that you can finish in 1 day.
