Rebuttal,

This review is from: Bangers (Paperback)
Naturally being the writer of Bangers I'm biased. But I don't think DaRealReturn, whoever that is, gave the book a fair shake. I would urge any potential reader to go to my website, www.gdphillips.com, and read an excerpt of Bangers for yourself.Thank you. Gary Phillips

Brilliant Read!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bangers (Paperback)
If you like your cops dirty and your crime dirtier, this book is for you. One of Phillips darker books - more in the vein of the Jook than his others - Bangers is a real page turner. The characters leap of the page. You can tell Gary knows LA and the book is littered with real locations. I can't say enough about this book. I have read most everything Gary has done, and this is the book I give to people as an introduction to his work. Check it out. As Gary himself said below he has a chapter you can read at his web site http://gdphillips.com/bangers.htm
Don't bother with the other review on this page. That guy must have read a different book...seriously.

This is the stuff!,
By P. Rhodes (St Louis, Mo.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bangers (Paperback)
Fantastic read. Yes, might be too dark for a beach or subway/commute, but wonderful for a rainy afternoon, in the lounge chair! Who was it would put Gary Phillips' stuff under a Gary Hardwick book? Wow. Harwick, the guy who brought you cerberal stuff like "The Brothers" and "Deliver us from Eva" (without giving Willie Shakespeare a footnote?)? Were I an African American (my wife is, however, and she backs me up), I'd roll my eyes at that one!!!
