In Spittin' Game, we're introduced to three brothers: Michael (the politician), Xavier (the mastermind), and Kyle (the baby brother). Each of the brothers are hilarious in this refreshing read with a memorable voice as they meet for a Pow-Wow by big brother Michael. Michael seems to have gotten himself in a tad of trouble. As a result, Xavier heads the committee for damage control and the laughs begin as each brother has a different ludicrous tale to tell as they all seek sexual pleasures with different divas.

Spittin' Game is reminiscent of an ice cold glass of lemonade on a hot summer day. Just what the doctor ordered for an original and hilarious view of life and people in general. In reading the synopsis, I was a bit doubtful, but I am so grateful that I was awarded the chance to read as well as review this novel. In the midst of the comedic scenes, T. L. Bryant develops a great storyline with an amazing flow. Every scene is so vivid as well as fascinating and reels you in with belly-aching laughter at the antics the characters are caught up in. It even has an unexpected twist at the end which confirms my belief in the author's natural storytelling skills! Of course, the author had one weakness: the infamous editing. But the book was so good, it was only a very minor distraction. I absolutely loved Spittin' Game and I highly recommend it. I'm anxious for another entertaining as well as pleasurable novel by T. L. Bryant to hopefully be released in the near future! Magnificent job!!!

I was given this book for Christmas, and have read it 2 times cover to cover since then. The book is so hilarious that you have to read it over to get what you missed the first time because you're laughing so hard. This book is seriously funny, it is sexy, it is steamy, and it is a real page-turner. I think this is the author's (Tl bryant) debut release and it is obvious he has bounds of talent and I can't wait til the next release!

One problem I have with the novel is that I wish it was longer. The book left me wanting more; which isn't necessarily a bad thing. However, a few parts of the novel felt a little rushed. Hopefully there will be a sequel. Also, there are a few editorial errors but nothing that detracts from the book and the character's experiences. The book stands so strongly on its own merits by getting its point across in such a hilarious way that a few errors are forgivable. I would make a point to the editing team that a few things were missed. But honestly, it is such a fun read who cares?

I have to disagree with anyone that thinks that females may take offense to some of lingo in the novel. I'm an African American female, my friends who also picked up the read run the gambit from Afro American, Caucasian, Latin, and Asian (ranging from 21-47 years old) and none of us took an ounce of offense to any part of the book. It is definitely a mature read but it is no means over the top or offense.

I think the author is very respectful to the women in it because the characters that try to get over on the ladies are dealt with (in the funniest of ways). If anything, the book pokes more fun at men. In fact, I just gave the book to my mother (62 years old) and she said the book has her in stitches from Chapter One.

To sum it up Spittin Game is insanely funny and a must read. I hope to see more from Bryant and I'm dying to see this on the big screen! Fabulous Job!

I have been a fan of movies for as long as I can remember. I have the ability to watch the same movies over an over again to the point where they just won't play anymore. I have never, however, been a fan of reading. Let me elaborate on that. If I am going to actually sit down and read a book, it has to keep my attention from beginning to end. Well, I got my hands on a copy of Spitting Game...and it fits my criteria for reading books perfectly.

I just finished the book and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. I don't want to give anything away to those of you who have yet to read the book. But I will say this, some of the stories were so steamy, yet hysterically funny at the same time, that it prompted me to put the book down and get a drink of H2O! I enjoyed the adult humor and I feel that, while some of the stories are very elaborate, many people will be able to relate to them, as well as the characters, on some level.

There are a couple of things that I would advise the author about. First, the book has several grammatical errors in it. I am uncertain of who was responsible for the editing of the book. I also realize that nothing is perfect. However, if the author PAID someone to do the editing, he may want to get some of that money back. It disrupts the flow of the book when reading and really getting into it. That may seem harsh, but if I don't say it someone else will, in perhaps a less inviting tone. Second, Mr. Bryant will want to be cautious about his use of the word "[...]." I noticed the word is used quite often in the book. I am sure this is not a reflection of how Mr. Bryant feels towards women, but it may be found as offensive to some readers, especially that of the female audience.

Summing up, this is a very enjoyable read. You'll find comedy, drama, and suspense all rolled into one. There are even a few twists and turns here and there. For those of you who enjoy reading, I would definitely recommend the book. I would advise you, however, to keep it away from your children because it contains very...VERY adult humor.

Spittin' Game by T. L. Bryant is gut-busting and a definite page turner! He had me hooked with the "Billy Dee Williams meets Tony Montana pimp suit." It's a raw, sensual, suspenseful and vividly engrossing novel about the drama filled escapades of dating players and heartbreakers, and about family coming together, stepping up to the plate and having your back when it's time to handle business.

It's written for the mature adult and contains language that may be offensive to some. However, I think the language spices up the real life scenarios and allows the author to depict what would be actual candid conversation amongst homeboys. In essence, he's just "keeping it real" which adds to the uniqueness of his writing. Outside of editing errors the author still brings life to the pages of this novel and I anxiously await Bryant's next release. Spittin' Game is an erotic adventure that's sure to be a steamy and entertaining read.

A night of romantic role-playing with his wife ends with Michael Thompson trying to hide a scandalous secret that can end his budding political career. He calls on his brothers to assist with damage control. As the brothers discuss Michael's dilemma, they share stories of past sexual encounters gone wrong. It's a race against the clock to keep the damaging information about Michael from getting into the wrong hands.

SPITTIN' GAME is a light-hearted book that was fun to read although the plot was thin. Bryant's humorous manner of telling a story kept me in stitches. The serious ending was unexpected and took me by surprise. Needless to say, the comedic moments were not enough to keep me engaged. With editing, development of the plot and characters, and toning down the over-the-top antics, the book would be so much better.

I am not normally much of a book reader, but Spittin' Game made me laugh and kept me intersted all the way through. I read it all in one evening because each chapter left me wanting to read the next one, all the way to the end. There were some editing errors, but they did not take anything away from the story. The adult aspect of the book was tastefully done to allow for adult laughs and perspective without being over the top or too graphic. I hope that the author, T.L. Bryant, has more releases for us in the near future, because if they keep my interest like Spittin' Game did I will most certainly be purchasing and reading the future titles as soon as they are available.
