4.0 out of 5 stars
A hustle by any other name is still a hustle, May 6, 2005
This review is from: Caught 'em Slippin' (Paperback)
In his fourth book, Al-Saadiq keeps it consistent and thorough. 'Caught Em Slippin' takes you to the heart of the streets where there is no honor among thieves, no loyalty among friends, and where it's every man for himself and God for us all.
For Sha Rock, hustling is not a game, but a way of life. He's determined to make that money at all cost. With his muy caliente chica Miranda, a RUTHLESS and trained killer Cal, and his boy Jimmy, they are stacking them chips. But as they get deeper and deeper, the lines of loyalty, greed, and reality become blurred. Who will be caught slippin?
You take elements like the street, drama, suspense, murder, sex (can't forget the sex!), a well thought out plot and author with a gift for storytelling - you mix them together and VIOLA - you've got 'Caught Em Slippin.'
Saadiq, what's good? The Viagras worked though I don't feel they were necessary in the first place. This book further proves you were most deserving of your recent "coveted" lit award. :) I was really feeling the cameo. Tu hablas espanol?
SHOUT OUT, BIG UP, and WHOOP D WOO to my girl CRYSTAL on the synopsis! KIRR. This you-this me?
**And Borders got caught slippin by not carrying this book**

Dangerously in love........................................., March 24, 2005
This review is from: Caught 'em Slippin' (Paperback)
Is there truly ever a limit to one's loyalty with love in the equation?
This is a wickedly intense ride! As always Al-Saadiq has truly outdone himself! He has you so caught up in the allure of the hustle, and so very desperate to see who will prevail in the end. I mean you're reading and figuring that you know what's about to happen and ((TRUMP)) Al-Saadiq hits you hard! Your knees begin to wobble! I know that when it comes to Al-Saadiq I tend to be repetitive! I mean what else can I say? Truly people there are very few REAL contenders in this genre, and as far as I am concerned Al-Saadiq is sitting on top of that throne!
If there are; by some strange coincidence any readers of today's Urban Literature genre who haven't had a chance to partake in what a reality street life is. I highly recommend that you visit True2Life productions.com and partake in the thrill of knowing that street credibility is everything!
Al-Saadiq is a REAL in-da-street-dude!

Oops, he Silpped up and did it again!, October 24, 2005
This review is from: Caught 'em Slippin' (Paperback)
WOW! What can I say about this book? Al-Saadiq, you did yo thing with this one.
This book takes you on a journey of street love. I mean, I really felt like I was there with those characters. That's how real they were. Mr. Banks puts it down! You are one of those writers who keep it real. This love story had me on edge from the first page. I could not wait to see who would be Miranda's next victim. She was grimey and in love all at the same time. I have a higher level of respect for the streets after this one!!
Keep doing it!
Congrats!
