4.0 out of 5 stars 4 Stars
I read this book in one day and it was good, it received four stars because it lacked suspense but overall a DAMN GOOD READ, especially the end when a surprised character stepped on the scene, I'm like the previous critic, YA'LL CRAZY this book was ENTERTAINING!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Things that make you go hmmmmm??
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...

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!

1.0 out of 5 stars HOODWINKED!!, February 24, 2006

"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!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars yea... this sucks, May 27, 2006

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

1.0 out of 5 stars Beware - Don't Buy - Red Alert!!!, September 30, 2005
This review is from: Sex in the Hood (Paperback)
The author of this book should be ashame for writing this crap. The title does not match the story and I think all who have purchased this book, should receive a refund.

I was so embarrassed in reading this book, it's very filty and discussing. It's nothing to be proud of. I urge everyone who may be thinking about purchasing this book, don't do it - trust me.

Giving this a 1 Star, is not accurate, it should be 0.

1.0 out of 5 stars I WANT A REFUND!!!!, December 30, 2005
This review is from: Sex in the Hood (Paperback)
If I could give a book negative stars, I would have given this one negative 200. This is one of the worst books that I have ever read. I couldn't even get past the first couple of chapters. Not only did it not make since, it was just boring as all hell!!! White Chocolate needs to stick to the white side of her. When it came to writing the speeach of the characters, she tried too hard. I spent the majority of my time trying to figure out what the hell they were saying.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poorly Written, July 16, 2007
This review is from: Sex in the Hood (Paperback)
The reader did not have to be reminded of the same things time and time again in this book. It was a waste of time and money if you ask me. And the whole plot was ridiculous.

Better than the sequel. But still not that great! I read the sequel before this one. The plot was there but she needs to work on her writing.
