Caught Up! [Paperback]

Winston Chapman (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 2003

When Raven Klein, a bi-racial woman from Iowa moves to Atlanta in hopes of finding a life she's secretly dreamed about, she finds more than she ever imagined. Quickly lured and lost in a world of sex, money, power-struggles, betrayal & deceit, Raven doesn't know who she can really trust!

A chance meeting at a bus terminal leads to her delving into the seedy world of strip-clubs, big-ballers and shot-callers. Now, Raven's shuffling through more men than a Vegas blackjack dealer does a deck of cards. And sex has even become mundane -- little more than a tool to get what she wants.

After a famous acquaintance winds-up dead -- On which shoulder will Raven lean? A wrong choice could cost her life! There's a reason they call it HOTATLANTA!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Solid Read!!, March 28, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Caught Up! (Paperback)

I think that "Caught Up" is one of the best urban tales out there. Winston Chapman has definitely held his own with this book. The reading is fast-paced, has solid editing, and a great main character. It was a little unrealistic for Raven to accomplish what she did in such a short amount of time but this is a fiction novel and the girl brought her "A" game. Bottom line, buy this book, you won't be disappointed.

This book was "Da'Bomb"!! Winston is a very talented writer. I meet him in South Dekalb Mall. I was leary about getting the book. I told him that I wasn't a "BIG" reader. But when I started talking to him, He told me to give it a try. Only to my suprise I couldn't put this book down for anything. It keep me on
the edge the entire way!! Got me "EXCITED" a few times also!!!(SMILE) Raven was so Brave of all she've been through. It just goes to show that, "Fame can make you and break you"! Being "Caught Up" will open your eyes.
You must read this book to know the experience that I've been through. Well done Winston!! Looking forward to your next one. This time you don't have to convince me.(SMILE)

5.0 out of 5 stars One Night Stand, September 15, 2003

This review is from: Caught Up! (Paperback)

If I was writing a book I'd want the reader to feel as if they'd just had a One Night Stand.

This is the way that I was left feeling after reading the high energy book "Caught Up" by Winston Chapman.
It was quick & easy, leaving me certain though perplexed; a tease yet satisfying.

Let me just break it down for you. This book was a quick read and easy to digest because of the reality of the content. For certain I could relate, but man o'man, watching as the plot thickened and the characters evolved, kept a sense of mystery burning inside of me. This heat fueled my desire to get to the end.

As graphic details, placed so intricately by the author, crawled through my mind and body, the illusion that I was actually in the game was created. What a tease!

Upon the closing of this story I was left with a rewarding sense of satisfaction though relieved that it was finally over.
You see, just within this read I'd managed to get "Caught Up".

Indeed, an author that can literally take you and put you exactly where he wants you to be has got to be given his props.
