Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good Read
This was the first of two books that I have read so far by Doanld Goines. An Associate of mine had introduced some of his novels to me but before then I have never heard of him . I thought the book "Street Players" was pretty good. I would have never expected the end to end the way that it did but when we read stories of people living those types of lifestyles rather it be fiction or not, the end result always remain the same. After reading a bit of information on this author, I was curious as to why he lead the lifestyle that he did considering that he came from a middle class background. I plan to pick up a copy of "low road" which is the life story of Donald Goines by Eddie Allen to find out why.

Basically the book was about a pimp named Earl, and how he had everything. But when a horrible incident happens it changes his life for the worst. This book has so many twist and turns that you will want to keep reading it.This book was good. This book lets you see what was going on in that time and how they had to stuggle to get where they are.I would reccommend this book to any one who wants stay glued to a book. So far I am on the verge of reading all of his books, and i suggest other readers do the same.
