Mo'Dirty Still Stuntin' by Darrell King is a street-lit novel giving the reader knowledge on gang rivals, drug deals gone wrong, and King Pins making money while locked up for life. Whiskey Battle is a well-known street enforcer and for the right price he can provide you with the drug of your choice; arrange a murder or plot to take down anyone who gets in his way of living the American dream.

This story takes place in Savannah,Georgia where the drug game is in full force and the cops ride on both sides of the fence. Knowing who to pay off and finding a good supplier are the least of this street teams problems. They are dealing with the Chief of Police Mickey O'Malley and his goal is to take down all drug dealers and corrupt cops. When a plot is hatched to ax O'Malley, will Whiskey come out standing or will he be amongst the corpses, or imprisoned gang members?

Stay tuned while you go on this ride to finding redemption. Although, Mo' Dirty Still Stuntin' lacked action and the pacing was slow, it was still a good read and I recommend to readers of street literature.

I really enjoy reading a novel depicting gangs and gang rivalry.
This is one of the reasons I was really looking forward to reading Mo Dirty by Darrell King.

Mo Dirty starts off with a bang (always appreciated in this type of book). A well-known hustler and preacher is gunned down - thanks to a contract that was put out on him by his own fiancé - the reason? She was tired of him cheating on her!!! I love it!

The killing introduces us to Whiskey who will be at the center of this novel.

Mo Dirty holds nothing back - we get a very detailed look at gangs and everything they stand for - including drug deals and a lot of violence. We also get to meet the gang leaders who believe they are larger than life - and expect you to believe the same thing.

While this book has some thrilling and entertaining moments, it did not manage to engage me as much as I would have liked. None of the characters are particularly likeable and that's to be expected in this type of book, however, there is so much gratuitous violence and so much overall stupidity within the characters that it felt all a little bit too much for me.

The writing was good and the author does know how to move a storyline along, which makes this book an okay read.

Marion "Snookey" Lake may be behind bars, but his legacy in the drug game continues with his son Whiskey Battle. Whiskey is the enforcer for the Bad Boyz II Syndicate, a dangerous gang that has control over the narcotics coming into Savannah, Georgia. He does whatever he needs to do to survive. Whiskey and his crew face a huge obstacle when a police chief steps up his efforts with getting drugs off the streets. With rogue cops and other hustlers on their side, will Whiskey's crew still be able to come out on top?

Mo' Dirty is a fast-paced sequel to Dirty South by Darrell King. Although this story is a sequel, you can easily read this book as a stand-alone novel. King pulls the reader into the dangerous world of the southern drug game. This story is full of non-stop drama, police corruption, and murder that will keep readers glued to the pages. Mo' Dirty is a gritty page-turner that will keep you guessing until the very end.

I first learned about this author through an anthology they participated in, but in MO DIRTY, Darrell King shows that he is able to command the stage and hold his own in a novel that has it all. The author takes us into the underworld where alliances are made, friends are betrayed and in the middle of it all, love is lost. At the end of the day, the main characters realize that the streets love no one, and you fall in love (or in some cases lust) at your peril.

Gritty, raw and with real social issues that any book club would love to discuss, MO DIRTY solidifies Darrell King's amazing talent and literary skills.

I was excited to see this book on the Pump Up Your Book tour. Actually my friend told me about it because she knows I love reading urban books. I was looking forward to reading this book and enjoyed it because I like reading the "street talk". It makes the story come to life. The author did an excellent job with the street talk, and it seems like a book with all of the street talk would be a little tough to write.

The first thing that happens in this book is the main character Whiskey was paid to murder Pastor Leon McBride. His fiancee' was happy to hear when her cheating pastor husband was dead, especially since she is the one that paid to have him killed.

Whiskey gets paid to murder people along with dealing drugs. He never feels bad for any of the murders he commits.

I liked this book and was surprised at the ending. I would like to read the next book to see what happens!

I tried and I tried to get into this book, I got to chapter 11 and had to stop.. This book is too hood for me.. The language, just the whole concept I could not get into this book. This book might be good for some, but it did nothing for me..

I read Dirty South as well as Mo' Dirty, and I appreciated the straight, raw, hard-core read of this book. The language was realistic of what I've heard, I really felt like I was in Peola in the hood with them. The characters really came to life from the first sentence and the pace of the book was fantastic. Mr. King kept me at the edge of my seat during the whole read, I never got bored with it. I loved it! Two thumbs up! My only criticism, I wish I didn't finish it so fast!
