This book is an absolute must have for all African American, young and old. I just purchased this book on two days ago and have completed it already. Although, I have never experienced the events that Jihad has, I know these events and experiences are accurate. This book is a true eye and mind opener, and again, a DEFINATE MUST READ!!!

Wake Up Everybody is one of the best novels I have ever read. I had the pleasure of hearing the author read at the Baltimore Book Festival and the section he chose to read hooked me from the first word. I purchased an autographed copy and dug right into it. It was outstanding. The author has a remarkable way of telling a story and his characters come to life vividly on the pages.

I truly felt for Lincoln, the protaganist of the story, and how he had to make choices (whether right or wrong) in order to survive. Jihad had a strong future ahead of him as an author. I just hope other people catch onto him with a quickness.

This book was great. This guy needs to be an inspiration for all people who feel like they are ready to give up. the stories were awesome. Some sad, some funny, all exciting. I have never read anyone with a writing style like his. At times i got confused, but it all came together as I read more and more. I almost missed work this morning, because I was up half the night reading, i could not put the book down. Great work.

I would like to start off by saying for a first time writer, his style was very eloquent. The book itself was moving and inspiring. His life story was similar to anyone you may know. His life experiences were thought and action provoking. His emotions were evident in every word and you couldn't help but feel them as well. The books had it high points and its low points but the outcome is 'all good'. For the man or woman who feels lost in their purpose in life, this is a must read and a definite inspiration towards a step in the right direction. Thank you, Jihad, for writing such a story that accurately depicts the African-American's struggle to survive and for offering a positve testimonial for overcoming all odds.

This book is unlike anything I have ever read. It is the complete story of the life of a hustler. I have never been in prison, nor have i been thru some of what he has been thru but i have been thru some of what some of the characters have. I know so many guys like him.There are so many twists and turns you can not put it down. This book should be in the hands of every school every library and bookstore.
