Again, baesd on personal experience! When Donald Goines was discharged from the Air Force, he was addicted to heroin. To support his habit he staged the robbery of a number of local houses. And from that experience came Eldorado Red! It's the vicious story of crooks who get richer with the dollars of the ghetto poor. He's got it knocked; new cars, mellow women and plenty money. Then he learns that treachery falls at the feet of his own son!

'Ol Red,
By soulonice (Arlington, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eldorado Red (Reissue ed) (Mass Market Paperback)
This story keeps the theme of Goines' work as usual. The main character (Eldorado Red) runs a few numbers houses, but his son Buddy and some of his friends rob them. After that, its clearly on. He doesn't fail to paint a picture the entire time, two scenes stuck out in particular for me. One of a mass of roaches which made my stomach crawl, and one of a fight toward the end with a hitman and a young dude where the latter gets his arm broken. The ending is pretty good too, so from top to bottom, its another solid piece from Donald Goines.

This review is from: Eldorado Red (Paperback)
Eldorado Red kept me on the edge of my reading chair. Donald Goins was truly the master writer of the black experience and he died as he lived.Royal Bryant
