Book Description

August 21, 2007 Strebor on the Streetz
A controversial new novel from critically acclaimed Essence bestseller Reginald L. Hall explores the attraction of dating a "bad boy" - from an entirely new angle.

During college, Juan Jiles fell in love with Darrell, who convinced Juan to help him rob one of Philadelphia's largest banks. During the heist, Darnell is killed, and Juan escapes with more than $175,000. After mourning the loss of his lover, Juan begins rebuilding his life and uses the money to open a popular celebrity hair salon.

Then along comes Bryant Thompson, a street thug with drugs, drama, and deception in tow. Juan falls in love with the hustling, muscle-bound Bryant and soon succumbs to Bryant's addictive world. Juan's life starts to spin out of control and he realizes that his meeting Bryant didn't happen by chance.

A story of a man doomed by passion, In Love with a Thug is by turns a humorous, tragic and hard-hitting look at the cost of destructive love and the price some pay for true happiness.

2.0 out of 5 stars Scattered, August 21, 2007
This review is from: In Love with a Thug (Strebor on the Streetz) (Paperback)
This story was all over the place. Character was a guillable, confused and abused soul. He went from one domestic violent situation and jumped right into another, giving his heart and money immediately without thought leaving himself open to be used at will. The sex scenes were out of sequence with the story, without one mention of a condom. The best part of the whole book was the last page which was a letter written by a victim summing up the why of the whole story. This could've been a very promising book if this story had come together a little better.

1.0 out of 5 stars WHY DID I WASTE TIME AND MONEY?, March 23, 2008
This review is from: In Love with a Thug (Strebor on the Streetz) (Paperback)
First off i just want to say that the author had to have paid Omarion and Fantasia for those reviews because anyone who can read will agree, that this book is HORRIBLE! the story is so wild and out there that its really hard to take it serious. the characters are like sterotypical. it jumps around from place to place like maybe you would think the main character is dreaming his whole life. I say please dont waste your money and if you are like me, more importantly your TIME! ENDING SUX! REGINALD DO BETTER please.

2.0 out of 5 stars UHHHHHHH, January 27, 2009
This review is from: In Love with a Thug (Strebor on the Streetz) (Paperback)
The story was interesting; BUT, some of the events made absolutely no sense. For instance, if Juan had $175,000.00 dollars in his bank account how come he could not make his mortgage payments? I just did not get that. And there are other parts where it seems the author forgot what he wrote previously in relation to what he was writing at that time. Did he or anyone else proofread this book? The violence was over the top. And while in jail he wakes up his first night and his other cell mate is standing in front of his bed waiting for him to give him oral sex and he does without any fight AND he enjoys it. That is just unreal. Finally, I just kept thinking throughout the whole book, this guy is the biggest idiot I ever didn't meet and by the end I was glad he got caught!!!
