3.0 out of 5 stars I THINK THIS BOOK COULD HAVE BEEN WRITTEN BETTER., March 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: From Pimp Stick to Pulpit--"It's Magic": The Life Story of Don "Magic" Juan (Hardcover)

ONLY PURCHASE THIS BOOK IF YOU ARE A PIMP/HO FANATIC. I READ FROM PIMPSTICK TO PULPIT IN LESS THAN TWO HOURS AND WAS EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED. I THOUGHT THAT "MAGIC" WOULD HAVE GONE INTO MORE DETAIL GIVING THE READER MORE VISUALS AND DETAILS ABOUT THE PIMP LIFE. FOR EXAMPLE, WHAT WAS IT LIKE TO BEAT HIS HO'S, HOW DID HE PENETRATE HIS HO'S MIND, OR WHAT WAS HIS LIFE WAS LIKE ON A DAILY BASIS. I FELT HE GAVE AN OUTLINE OF WHAT HIS SO CALLED PIMP LIFE AND IT'S SOMEWHAT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT HE IS NOW SAVED. HE DID NOT SAY HOW HE HAS DEDICATED HIS LIFE TO GOD AND HOW HE MAKES HIS MONEY NOW. WHY WOULD A SAVED, NATURAL MAN OF GOD STILL PUT A PERM IN HIS HAIR? MAGIC IS STILL A VAIN MAN FROM THE PIMP WORLD WHO HAS A NEW HO. THE CHURCH. THIS HAS LED ME TO BELIEVE THAT HE IS PIMPING THE CHURCH, BIBLE, AND MEMBERS OF HIS CHURCH WITH RHETORIC. IF YOU CHOOSE TO READ THIS BOOK, BORROW IT FROM A FRIEND OR GO TO THE LIBRARY.

5.0 out of 5 stars Upclose View of a Unusually Successful Pimp, June 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: From Pimp Stick to Pulpit--"It's Magic": The Life Story of Don "Magic" Juan (Hardcover)

I just finished reading this book in 2 days, (would have been 1 if I didn't have to work). The book is a direct view of the pimp's life, lifestyle, and some of the roadkill on the highway of the fast-life. Excellent to see actually what goes on.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not All it is Cracked Up to Be, July 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: From Pimp Stick to Pulpit--"It's Magic": The Life Story of Don "Magic" Juan (Hardcover)

This was more like a school book than anything else. It is like no other book that i have read. This book is a short biography leaving out the details that would have made it a 5 star book like Pimp by Iceberg Slim
