In the tradition of cult literary icon Donald Goines, Ice Cream For Freaks is written with a realness that accurately depicts the harsh realities of the story’s urban backdrop. Main character, Ice, has a reputation of being a brutal and daring stick-up kid, but when he lands in an upstate New York prison, both his reputation and his manhood come into question after an unforgettable and terrorizing encounter in his cell with a prison Homo Thug.

Brutally Cold,
This review is from: Ice Cream for Freaks (Paperback)
"Ice", the main character was a product of following his dear mother's advice. His mom was verbally brutal to her husband, which eventually led her husband leaving his family. Mom's advice: be a man, don't be a wimp like your father - be cold as ice! One thing led to another in his life, thus causing Nathaniel "Ice" Wilson to become a cold-hearted, calculating thief.
The story of "Ice" transfers through major drama and mayhem as the reader peers into his life. As result, consequently, Ice get a pass to jail for 4 yrs. Beaten and forced into a brutal rape, "Ice's" life is advanced to a whole different level.... but wait - he gets out of jail after being somewhat of a "good" boy and is leashed back to the streets again. Things have changed and yet.... things have stayed the same. It's a small world in his circle of street associates. A little kid, named Rizz, who once looked up to and admired Ice when he was major (before he went to jail) is now "that man"; flossing - balling major and running things in the streets. He meets up with Ice after Ice's release and calls himself rescuing Ice and offering Ice a chance to make some nice money and roll with him & his crew. Ice is back on the streets now and making his pockets easy, only to find that he was the founder and major contributor of the so-called hustle he was permitted to become a part of. Dejon's conclusion at the end of the book builds and the drama is magnified. This story has an unusual twist at the end. I won't tell....BUY THE BOOK.

Ice Cream for Freaks,

This review is from: Ice Cream for Freaks (Paperback)
When I first met the author, Dejon, he was hustling his book at Target parking lot in Brooklyn. After talking to him for a bit, I was reluctant. At first the title threw me off, I orginally thought "Another freaky street ghetto tale?", but I bought the book.
To my surprise the book is nothing like it's title. I must say it was a page turner! The whole situation with Ice in jail was something else. I mean we hear the stories about what goes on, but Dejon puts it in details! WOW! After reading the book, I relized that whatever evil one does will always come back to bit you on your a**! Dejon, Good job on your first novel! When I am ready to buy your next novel I hope to see it in the bookstore, if not I am always in Target on Sundays!

Off the chain!!!!,
By Nae "Nae" (Brooklyn, New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ice Cream for Freaks (Paperback)
Hey De Jon, I am the lady you approached with your 2 young cousins when I was sitting in my vehicle in the parking lot of Gateway Shopping Center. As you said I wouldn't be able to put the book down because it was soooo good. You were right and I was hooked like a crack addict. I just wanted to support a young brother in buying your book and I hope you are coming out with another book real soon. I hope you don't mind a word of advice but, please proofread by watching the typos and grammatical errors, then Oprah can put it on her reading list as one of her up and coming new authors to watch out for. PEACE!!!!!!
