5.0 out of 5 stars FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE OF MAIN CHARACTERS, March 7, 2005

By 

Kings Daughter "Sister" (NC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Howard Street (Paperback)

I married into the Grant family. "Bolo", "Shakdown", "Geronimo", "Strike" and "Izzy". Quite a collection real life characters. I tell my children if they want first hand knowledge about their father's family, they should read this book and in fact all but one has. I truly enjoy it and Nathan "Boobie" Heard was a very prolific and intelligent author. He passed away about 3 years ago, but Howard Street is an urban classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars lessons for my young childrren, May 28, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Howard Street (Paperback)

I read this book years ago. My son was employed at a library and
he would bring books home. at the time he was 18 years of age.
the book reminded me of the area we had resided in at one time. I had my children read the book, and believe it or not, his book
helped keep them into falling into the pitfalls of the wicked
streets, as a matter of fact I have read almost all of the books
written by black authors, chester himes, ralph ellison, to name
a few, at one time i had all the books, but i have passed them
on to my grandchildren they are collector of items, because they
treasure those books.
