Editorial Reviews

Review

"J. Gail's KARMA'S A BITCH is a well-written novel of life in the streets. The author will have you laughing and crying at the same time. Tony is a well-developed character who you'd love to strangle - or at least slap some sense into him. He never seems to learn that he can't do ugly without ugly returning to him. It was an entertaining book that I would recommend for sheer entertainment and also for lessons learned." -- RAWSISTAZ Reviewers May 2006

"Karma's A Bitch by J. Gail is the original and superbly written story of low-life womanizer Tony Jackson... Karma's A Bitch is highly recommended as a creative and thought-provoking novel of just what can happen to an immoral and deceptive man by way of cosmic payback." -- Midwest Book Review May 2006

Product Description

Karma's a Bitch by J.Gail

If you think you can do somebody dirty and get away with it, just because you didn’t get caught, you’re dead wrong. All of that dirt comes back to you one way or another.

Tony Jackson learns this lesson the hard way. Labeled the "asshole of West Philly," Tony holds no shame in having other women in his girlfriend Quanisha’s bed. There is little remorse after he knocks off a convenience store and beats the cashier with a gun. He’ll rob from his girl, his friends, people he doesn’t know and your mama. Whoever, he doesn’t care. And we all know that when you get money wrong, you can’t hold onto it for nothing! The question is when will Tony figure that out? Maybe when he starts getting his Karma instantly and mercilessly he’ll get the hint.

In fact, when will Tony get the big picture? That there’s no future in his game. Will a dose of ‘Instant Karma’ show him that not contributing to society in any positive way is guaranteed to get him a one way ticket to no where?

I really enjoyed this book "Karma's A Bitch" by J Gail. I read it in about 2 days. Reading about Philly's most trifling male Tony Jackson will have you hooked. Tony's character pissed me off b/c he is a grown man who refuses to work, and chooses to steal and lie to get money for food, liquor or drugs. He will steal from friends and uses his long time girlfriend Quanisha's apartment to have sex with other girls while she is at work! He even gets an STD and passes it on to Quanisha. He says any thing out of his mouth and talks to people any kind of way. Tony is a truly heartless S-O-B!!!
Tony eventually starts getting his karma and when it comes it does a number on him, and Tony will soon see Karma is most defintley the BIGGEST bitch of all.
I loved this book, a must read!

4.0 out of 5 stars Real-Life Reality Check, September 8, 2006

By	Urban-Reviews.com (Urban-Reviews.com) - See all my reviews

Tony Jackson is an ungrateful idiot. He cares about no one but himself and will do any and everything just to please himself. From sleeping with other women in his long-time girlfriend's Quanisha's bed, to stealing from innocent people, Tony has no shame in his game. Tony thinks he's getting away with murder until he gets hit with a dose of instant karma. The question is will Tony ever get the message? Quanisha is a hard working woman who is trying to make something out of herself. Her patience with Tony is wearing thin as a new prospect steps into the picture. Will Quanisha finally show Tony the door? Scoop is Tony's womanizing best friend. Scoop's life makes a turn for the worst when faced with a deadly situation.

Karma's A Bitch is a fascinating read by J. Gail. Gail expertly illustrates the old adage of what goes around comes around. Although the main theme of this story is Tony's behavior, there are some other issues that were included such as HIV, self-actualization, and domestic violence that I thought were good noteworthy topics. There were also some moments in this novel where I found myself laughing out loud. Karma's A Bitch is a real-life reality check for any reader.
