This review is from: Sex in the Hood (Paperback)

This book is one of them. It is the story of Duke, who owns Babylon a "sex factory", and Victoria a bi-racial rich girl, who has to go live with her Black grandmother when her White father is killed. Victoria is a nympho anyway and soon becomes the "Dutchess" Duke's right hand woman. She gets thrown into a world of sex and craziness in Babylon.The first thing that tripped me out was Duke's workers calling him "Massa" The other thing that tripped me out was Celeste, Dutchess' private part, that talks to her. This book was a really awful. The whole book is about sex, every chapter is a detailed explanation of the freakiness . I didn't read it all the way through I just skimmed through the interesting parts.I gave it two stars.... But maybe that's too generous! Save your money!

"HORRIBLE" and that's putting it nicely. I'm being extremely kind giving this book a 1 star rating. White Chocolate, this is White Trash!! The only decent thing about this book is the blank pages at the end. But then again, you can't expect much from a book titled "Sex in the Hood". I'm an avid fan of Carl Webber and the Urban Books Organization. I hope this is the first and "last" piece of garbage Urban Books publishes. Good thing I only paid $1.00 for book, and that was $1.00 to MUCH!!!

This book will make you feel like you are wasting your life.
I couldn't even get through it, but I said to myself; "I must be well versed in al genres of writing, even this new hip-hop-lit stuff." However, this is worse than hip hop music. You feel society slipping off of the face of eternity as you read just the first chapter.

Poor prose, poor word choices. The only vivid descriptions are of sex scenes, and even they aren't done with class or any literary skill. This book is also riddled with typos. White Chocolate needs to kick her editor in the teeth.

Don't buy this book. Even though it's obviously marketed for young inner city girls, this is not the representation they need. Not for their self-esteme, not for anything.
