I would have given this half a star if I could have. This book was awful. The story didn't flow, there were new characters being introduced every other line, and the summary on the back of the book didn't match with the story. I got this from the library and I was still mad that I even picked it up in the first place. Don't even waste your time with this book!

When I read Sins of the Father I couldn't wait until the next book by Ms. Madlock came out. I was truly disappointed. This book started out good but it started putting me to sleep. The only reason I finished the book was because I had spent my hard earned money on it. I wished I had purchased another book instead.

as every normal person i read the back of the book first and neither the names nor the events described on the back actually happened in that book. starting with that said i was naturally pretty confused most of the part.
there are also too many characters,most of them totally unimportant to the story...but then again i didnt really know who or what the story was about. i didnt know on what character to concentrate and not one person was appealing to me. i just didnt like them all and made it a drag to read this book. the writing and editing is very poor...

there is a lot more...but maaaan enuff said.
dont waste ur money on this one

I finished "Back on the Block" and it was an okay read. I gave it two stars simply because I was able to complete it.

I enjoyed Felicia's "Sins of My Father" far better.

What the hell was this, this book was trash! Ms. Madlock you have to do better! This was one of the worst books I read this year! The back cover didn't describe what was in the book, it mentioned characters that were never introduced in the book! This book should have been draft one, go back to the drawing board with this one! I wanted to give this book zero stars, but that wasn't an option!

This book wasn't THAT bad. Granted that the back cover synopsis did not match what was contained in the story AT ALL, I was able to get through the book. There are a multitude of wonderful urban books out there that truly surpass this book. This book was o-kay. I wouldn't run out to read it or buy it at all.

The author just needs to step her game up and pay attention to the competition out there that's in the urban book world. This was my first book by this author, she didn't make me a fan at all. But I wouldn't run away from reading anymore of her books. I would just be sure to get them from the library only.

Sorry but this book was a no no. I was so disappointed the whole story really did'nt come together at all plus the summary on the back of the book did'nt match with the story inside the book.I thought it was just my copy but after reading a few reviews I realized that i was'nt.please save your self from wasting your time with this book cause it is really not worth it.

I've been fooled. Like so many people. I read the back of the book said this looks interesting and decided to buy it. What's on the back cover is NOT what is in the book. Yeah Recy Clarke did come back to the block, but what happened to all the other people mentioned in the book description. What happened to Joanne Banks, Jonathan Jones, & David Blackwell?

I guess I was reading about a different block.

I swear I am abou to STOP spending my money on any old books!! I have read like 3 terrible books in a row!!!

I really enjoyed "Sins Of The Father" and have looked forward to this book "Back On The Block", but I wish I had ordered something else instead.

This book was all over the place and the storyline does not match the description on the back of the book. I gave up after like 6 or 7 chapters....AWFUL!!!!
