Rating: - Daddy Cool was the S***!!!
I am a big Donald Goines fan, so I was absolutely thrilled to read this book. Larry Jackson a.k.a. Daddy Cool was a man that put fear into the coldest of hearts. His was as big in statue, as the legendary name he had made for himself. Somber, cold-blooded, and ruthless were his alter egos, because with his daughter he was a regular soccer Dad. He gave her anything her heart so desired, with the money he made from being a Hit-Man. He legally owned a pool hall so his family thought that was wehre he got his money. He was quick with his knife and taught his daughter to master the art as well.
The turning point in their father-daughter relationship came when Daddy Cool got wind that his daughter was seeing the neighborhood pimp. He lost control and hit his daugher, causing her to leave home and find out that Daddy cool was no fool after all. The pimp turned his daughter out just as he had predicted. On top of that his stepsons were regularly robbing the numbers men in the community.
This book had a helluva plot, with realistic characters and a whole lot of action. It was the S***. If you haven't read this one then you need to go and get it today. I read this book in THREE hours. It was just that good. You won't be disappointed in this one.
Rating: - 'Daddy Cool' ain't no fool....
Larry Jackson is a hitman. When his teen-aged daughter gets seduced by a sleazy pimp, he sets in motion plans for sweet revenge. When I first heard people calling author Donald Goines the 'Black Shakespeare' I was very skeptical. That is, until I read this book! There are definitely elements of 'Hamlet' and Alexander Dumas' classic 'The Count of Monte Cristo' --- set to a ghetto theme of course. Revenge is a dish best served cold the saying goes and the surprise ending here will have the reader on the edge of their seat.
