I must admit I got this simply because I have 1&2 but when I started it....oooh weeee! It was a good read to say the least. This twins aint no joke and can hang with the best of them.

This review is from: Around the Way Girls 3 (Paperback)

i wasn't gonna purchase this book initially because the only author i was familiar with was thomas long, but i decided to buy it on the strength of thomas long because he ALWAYS delivers. long's "born into the game" tells the story of tamara and tamia barnes, the twin daughters of the notorious kingpin timmy barnes. after their father is arrested for drugs and countless murders, these girls feel compelled to carry out their father's legacy. but once they are knee deep in the game, they soon realize that everthing that glitters aint gold. true readers of urban lit won't be disappointed. the other two stories just didn't do it for me. they were just OKAY.
although anthologies are a great vehicle for unknown authors to become known, in urban lit it is so easy to separate the real from the fake. some writers aren' capable of capturing the grit and grime of street life and writing short stories are especially hard because a writer is forced to do in 100 pages what they would normally do in 300. only a handful of authors are blessed with this talent.
