This book is magnificent! It has all the action, all the drama, and all the suspense you need. And the best part is the ending, it throws you for a big loop. The bonus sneek preview in the back of the book was great also!!
Thanks for the good read,
Angela Jones
Rating:  - Not Great
I've always heard great things about Donald Goines. If they are true, they are not fairly represented in Street Players. This book reminded me that I should not be an author; because AVERAGE WRITING is not worth the time it takes to read it, or write it.

The 4th title I've read by Goines...regrettably one of his weaker efforts. The story ended so abruptly I believe the author was being hounded by his publisher or needed some heroin (Goines was addicted for many years) or both. Still some of the descriptions of steeet life were quite raw and vivid, reminding me of Whoreson or Dopefiend, two of his more vital efforts. An easy read, but one of his lesser constructions.
Rating: - That cold black pearl
This story is about a pimp named Earl who had things going his way, but one event lead to another and his world came crumbling down around him. Unlike other stories or the such you may read or see about pimps, Goines gave this one some depth. He wasn't some fast-talking cat who just wasted money and used women. It was different, because he exposed a vulnerability there you rarely see in a character like this. It's a good read that will have you hooked to the finish.
