4.0 out of 5 starsGood story
By Emily L. Smith on June 30, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Nikki did it again. This was very good. I was tired of my girl losing out when it came to the men in
her life but it appears things worked out in the end for her. I didn't like what happened to her mom.
Smooth and Reggie were a dog's but they got what was coming to them.

3.0 out of 5 starsMaybe I'm just too old for this
By Luuv2Read on May 16, 2005
Format: Paperback
A friend of mine gave me this book as a gift a couple of weeks ago and I just took the time to read it along with several other books that I took on vacation with me. It only took me a few days to get it complete, but I think I'm just too mature...or maybe just downright too old for this kind of fiction. Just seemed to have no real point to the story in my opinion, but my 20-year-old neice enjoyed it very much. Therefore, I refuse to trash the novel just because the point may have escaped my 40-year-old head. There's an obvious market for this "street-type" fiction, but I guess I'm just not in it.

5.0 out of 5 starsWe want to live the glamorous life
By Glamour on June 15, 2005
Format: Paperback
The Glamorous Life is not as easy as it seams. Take a ride with Bambi and you will learn what it takes to live The Glamorous Life. Nikki you out did yourself this time. This book get's all 5 stars and anything else I can give ya. It is the true meaning of an urban page turner. I would love to see a sequel to this one cause at the end of the book you bring it all out. I now crown you queen of Hip-Hip Fiction cause you stepped up ya game and put it down in the pages of The Glamorous Life.

4.0 out of 5 starsGet 'Em Where It Hurts.....in their pockets!
By Ms Toni VINE VOICE on May 29, 2005
Format: Paperback
Bambi's mother is all about business, or should I say the BENJAMINS! "To sum it up, when the money was gone, so was I," she tells Bambi as she tries to instill life's important lessons about men. Bambi never had need for those words or lessons until the man she loves plays her all the way to the left. Picking up the pieces of her shattered heart and remembering what momma told her, she moves forward promising to never let another man have her heart. But some promises are meant to be broken. With a glass fortress surrounding her heart, Bambi becomes well known in Richmond for her party planning skills and for milking brothers dry. Then, out of nowhere Lynx, one of VA's biggest ballers, enters her world. He talks a good game, but is talk cheap? Can he back it up with actions? Will that ice around Bambi's heart melt? Or will she find herself played again?

I for one am happy to see Nikki with a REAL publisher. Now she can shine as the truly talented author she is. I enjoyed the book (especially Ruby) and I look forward to catching back up with Bambi and the crew in the near future.

1.0 out of 5 starsA Completely Different POV
By thevirginmary83 on April 28, 2006
Format: Paperback
I officially know not to buy another Nikki Turner book, her style and stories just aren't for me. The struggles and underlying themes are the same: karma, because what goes around comes around, hold your man down for whatever because if he sets you up you move on, but remember hold yourself down while staying in full length furs, and get all of someone else's money for the best revenge.

Maybe I'm spoiled after reading Mina's Joint but I don't feel the love and passion between Turner's characters in any of her books. All I get from them is that they are about a hustle. Hustle him, them, work, blah blah blah. She makes love a hustle because drugs are involved.

I'm not trying to say anyone is copying anyone but what's up with the few sentences about Bambi having a sister named Yarni. Hustler's Wife didn't make much of an impression on me but that's the name. At least the sisters can bond over their experiences of hustling. Awww

5.0 out of 5 starsI LOVE THIS BOOK
By R. Tinsley on February 13, 2007
Format: Paperback
This was the first book I read by Nikki Turner, and damn I'm hooked now. This book is about a girl named Bambi who is very high maintenance, and a true gold digger. She is all about her, and what she can get from men. Bambi falls in love with a drug dealer named Reggie On the night of her engagment party to Reggie, she gets into an argument with a man whom is wearing the same outfit as her. She discovers that Reggie is on the DL. She is heartbroken. She motivates herself to starting her own business as a party planner, and decides she will get whatever she can from men, but she will not be left heartbroken. Bambi meets Lynx, a hustler. He breaks down the barriers and they fall in love. I dont want to give too much of the book away, but trust that its a good read. I reccommend this book, I wish there was a sequel. LOVED IT!

4.0 out of 5 starsTrue Love Really Does Happen....
By Lamia Ashley on May 4, 2005
Format: Paperback
It took me 2 days to read The Glamorous Life, and because I'm such a Nikki Turner fan, that's about average. Most of her books usually take me a day or two. I can officially say that Nikki Turner has done it again.... In this book you find everything from love, betrayal, and finding true love again. When you first start reading the book you actually say out loud, "Oh, no he didn't"! Then you keep reading and your like, "You go girl"! By the time you get to the last page you're ready to call Nikki herself and ask her why she left you hanging like that....This book is begging for a continuance! Nikki Turner is undeniably the Queen of Hip Hop Fiction!!!! LaMia Ashley, BSW- Atlantic City, New Jersey

This book was GREAT, read in 1 day. A definite page turner, from the first page to the very last. I am definitely a NIKKI TURNER fan. I hope a pt. 2 is in the making. If I could have given this book more stars, I would have.
