It's Baghdad, B*tches!!!,
By OOSA Online Book Club "O.O.S.A. Gets It Read!" (World Wide Web, USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE)
This review is from: Block Party 3/Brick City Massacre (Paperback)
Fort Dix , New Jersey - The Mayor sits before a small feast of delicacies. Despite his lavish lifestyle, his green jumpsuit and the concrete walls are constant reminders that he is no longer a free man. He often dreams of being on the streets. He has a helluva lawyer in Tony Austin aka Tony Cochran and can almost taste his freedom. But ultimately he knows his fate does not rest in the hands of his lawyer or even the judicial system. One man trumps them all. He knows that with "Brick City Massacre" his man Al-Saadiq will wrap up his True 2 Life series. Did the `Free the Mayor' movement work? Did the phone calls, emails and reviews have any bearing? Will the Mayor finally be freed?
"Block Party 3: Brick City Massacre" is an opportunity to settle old scores, resolve ongoing issues and get updates on some favorites. In style and substance, Al-Saadiq Banks has earned his spot as one of street lit's greatest natural resources. He captures the lifestyle of the streets with devastating accuracy. Banks knows his readers and gives them exactly what they want even if they don't know it. (Yes, I'm still mourning Cashmere .) His investment in vivid character development pays off in this character driven storyline that moves flawlessly from start to finish. Without detracting from the main story, Banks guides readers on side trips that only further solidify this novel and keeps them engaged. The brillance of Al-Saadiq Banks and "Block Party 3: Brick City Massacre" is undeniable.

Euphoria ... It's an experience!,
By Nardsbaby "Connoisseur of the written word™" (Westside Chi-town, IL United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE)
This review is from: Block Party 3/Brick City Massacre (Paperback)
This just in...
Al-Saadiq Banks, a long-time, well respected resident of Newark, NJ., has successfully completed a six-book series. Banks, who often downplays that he's an author, has successfully launched one book after the other as well as took part in an anthology published by another well known author/publisher. Al-Saadiq Banks first appeared on the shelves with his blockbuster hit, NO EXIT, in 2004. It was there readers got their very first taste for Banks' unyielding urban style. While NO EXIT proved that Banks was new to the game, as far as editing goes, it also proved to those that his vision and voice wouldn't be silenced. With readers begging Banks to finish and end the long awaited suspense, Banks decided to bridge the gap and invite them to the BLOCK PARTY. Now if there was any doubt in anyone's mind that this man was an author, this newest title customized his seat and readers were strapped in as Banks not only took over the wheel, but shifted full speed ahead. Readers may have gotten a little comfortable, and assumed that they knew what was next, until Banks slipped SINCERELY YOURS, a hood love affair, that not only shows his versatility, but answers questions readers had been dying to know from the first two novels, while further inviting readers into the depths of Banks' world. Just when you thought it was safe to move around the cabin, you were hit with some turbulence, gagged, bound and fearful because Banks CAUGHT 'EM SLIPPIN'. In simple enough terms, this book literally broke the mold. Speechless, and wondering if Banks maybe topped out, traces of AFTER PARTY were found on the scene and people were lined up by the droves for a hit. With the man in high pursuit, and an endless connection, readers wondered what could possibly be next? BRICK CITY MASACRE is the finale of all finales! Without a warrant it pushes for the indictment, infuriating the haters while entangling the hopeful. If there are lingering questions from the first five novels, characters you were rooting on and freedom that you've prayed for, then WALK WITH ME as Banks sneakily takes you on a high speed adventure through the brutual streets of Newark, behind the walls in Yazoo, MS, and across the world to the Dominican Republic for this star studded conclusion. While reading, I laughed, cried, cheered on the ruthless, and dared the madness to get further out of hand. While this reviewer has openly campaigned for Banks, readers who are in need of change from that fake, unlived street chronicles should step on over to the real, raw and gritty mayhem of TRUE 2 LIFE. A series that is sure to awaken you!

TRUE TO THE GAME,
By Dantaye Rainey "Ishmael's Wifey" (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Block Party 3/Brick City Massacre (Paperback)
Al-Saadiq Banks' True 2 Life series is a compelling series of books about the streets; a story of some people's reality. The final chapter, Block Party 3: Brick City Massacre, is a gritty story of drugs and the love of money. He does a wonderful job of bringing the realities of street-life and placing it at the hands of his readers. If you're looking for the real deal, some one to keep it all the way gangsta and all the way true, with street-life virtue, this is the book you want to read. I highly recommend.
