Picked this up at the bargain shelf at a local bookstore for a buck. It was right next to a book that had caught my eye. The other book speaks about growing up in the Chicago projects. I figured, for a dollar, I couldn't go wrong. Glad I went with my judgment. The other book is still here, unread while I tore apart Love Don't Live...

Love Don't Live Here No More reads like a memoir. It was a short, interesting read. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in growing up in the lifestyle that the author speaks of in this biographical novel.

Fans of Snoop Dogg will likely find fault with the fact I only gave this four stars. I felt that for it to receive a full five stars it should have been a bit longer/detailed or sold to the teen audience. It was not quite clear what age group the authors were reaching for.

I think this was a good read. Just not sure how many of Snoop Dogg "rap followers" actually read this book. Non-followers may think it is not a book of their class - too thugged out. I guess this is why I found this book in the bookstore, hardcover, for $5. If marketing would have gone into it, it would easily have become a bestseller. The book is definitely a good easy read and at times, funny as HECK! I loved the characters, especially, sweet Bing, and I could flow with it. I'm just wondering, because, perhaps, of the low sales of this 1st volume, will another come out? The end of the book leaves you hanging. Come on Snoop, at least give the characters a good ending!

I picked this book up at work one day when a co-worker left it on their desk. I read the whole book in one shift. Its a easy read and the end leaves you wanting more.

This book was an easy read. I was surprised by the writing style,Snoop and David seem to work well together. However even though the story is not new it is given an interesting twist. Also, with my copy I received a free cd which ia an added bonus.

This book was a quick read, you learn about Ulysses's life living poor with his mother and borther in Long Beach, California. Ulysses looks up to a local pusher and starts selling drugs at and young age. He watches his mother struggle just to get by, He wants to help but don't know how, he has dream of being a rapper but must first learn how to survive. This is Vol. 1 of the Doggy Tales so I must know what will be next.

This book was definitely not what i expected. The only thing that kept my attention was the ending cliffhanger. It was a slow read that was a coming of age story. I was not connected to the characters in any way really which was a downside to my reading this book. I may read the second installment of this series but I am not going to rush to buy it. It was an okay read, not anything special. I definitely commend Snoop for starting to co-write books. However, 50's G-Unit books are much better thus far, I would read them 1st before the Doggy Tales' installments.

The book is quite interesting and quick reading. I wonder if the youth of the hip-hop generation will read the book and wonder if this the route they really want to go. There will always be struggles in life which is displayed in the story but it is what you do about it. Do you move in a positive mode or let the situation keep you down and move in negative mode?
I am looking forward to reading more by Snoop Dogg& David E. Talbert.

i bought this book not too long ago. it is deffinately an easy read. it is modeled after snoops life. cant wait for the second. :)
