Crack Head II started off slow at first but picked up and became a fast read! Crack Head II is filled with life lessons for young people! All the character is well developed and very interesting and the plot was amazing! I read the first Crack Head and I really enjoyed it so I knew I would enjoy Crack Head II as well! And Lisa did a fantastic job going back to Laci's past. I recommend this book to all the young people! Lisa Lennox did a great job and I can't wait until her next masterpiece! Keep up in the good work!

This review is from: Crack Head II (Triple Crown Publications Presents) (Paperback)

Crack Head II by Lisa Lennox is the well anticipated sequel to Crack Head; which featured Laci and the SBB's (South Bronx Bitches). This story picks up where Laci vanished trying to get her life back together after the SBB's tricked her out and turned her into a crack head. Laci and Dink are trying to start a new life away from drugs, crime and especially the Bronx where all this drama started. Through counseling and a new set of friends, life is looking up for Laci, until she is forced to remember her drug addicted past.

Dink is a former kingpin and decides to leave all of that behind to lend a helping hand to a recovering Laci; his motives are questioned since he had built an empire back at home. Laci tries her best to cope with everything but feels that she will not be complete unless vengeance is served. Seeking out her old friends, the SBB's, she sets a trap that will leave each lady wondering why they never saw it coming. This book had a slow but steady pace and even though it was an enjoyable read, I would have preferred a different ending.

I recommend Crack Head II to fans of Ms. Lennox and those who are wondering what ever happened to Laci and the SBB girls.

This review is from: Crack Head II (Triple Crown Publications Presents) (Paperback)

I was HYPED 2 receive this book in the mail when I first learned of it being a part 2 to crackhead which, was OFF THE CHAIN. When I started reading I'm like o.k it's going 2 get better. NOT. I think she should have gotten better revenge than she did that was 2 petty. They'd b out of their situation in no time. Laci, went through alot, embrassment, stooping 2 levels I wouldn't want 2 imagine and at the end i kept flipping pages thinking there's got 2 b more. TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED. TOTAL WASTE OF MY MONEY.
