Depressing,
This review is from: Gentleman Pimp (Mass Market Paperback)
The first few chapters of this book were really good as the author talks about how the main charater got into the game as a pimp, but as you get deeper off into the book the author seems to be more focused on telling how the main character's real motive for pimping is to support his drug habit. But I must admit the main character does have a good mouth piece, and the author keeps your attention with slang being used.

A pimp's struggle.,
By Chillyayo (NyC) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Gentleman Pimp (Mass Market Paperback)
Credit Iceberg Slim with raising the bar on just how a ghetto novel should read. In that respect Andrew Jackson's book is not bad in any regards. On its own the book makes for a straight forward read, with an intriguing story-line. Unlike Donald Goines who follows suit with Robert Beck's style, Andrew Jackson doesn't feel the need to glorify the pimp. At times Jackson is depicted as a junkie just looking for a fix. The story has many twist and turns that are sure to leave you guessing until the end. In lieu of Robert Beck's Pimp, Gentleman pimp lacks the finesse of a Robert Beck or Donald Goines.
