Product Description
Again, baesd on personal experience! When Donald Goines was discharged from the Air Force, he was addicted to heroin. To support his habit he staged the robbery of a number of local houses. And from that experience came Eldorado Red! It's the vicious story of crooks who get richer with the dollars of the ghetto poor. He's got it knocked; new cars, mellow women and plenty money. Then he learns that treachery falls at the feet of his own son!

4.0 out of 5 stars 'Ol Red, January 19, 2005

By	Kenny Masenda (Arlington, TX) - See all my reviews

This story keeps the theme of Goines' work as usual. The main character (Eldorado Red) runs a few numbers houses, but his son Buddy and some of his friends rob them. After that, its clearly on. He doesn't fail to paint a picture the entire time, two scenes stuck out in particular for me. One of a mass of roaches which made my stomach crawl, and one of a fight toward the end with a hitman and a young dude where the latter gets his arm broken. The ending is pretty good too, so from top to bottom, its another solid piece from Donald Goines.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT, December 20, 1998

By	royal1@olg.com (Calvert County, Maryland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Eldorado Red (Paperback)

Eldorado Red kept me on the edge of my reading chair. Donald Goins was truly the master writer of the black experience and he died as he lived.

2.0 out of 5 stars DASHEIKZ 2 CENTZ: NO, NOT THIS TIME- WARNING: SPOILER HERE
Donald Goines is one of the greatest black ghetto crime writers of all time. That's mainly due to the lack thereof. Usually, I can look at one of his books like a movie. Read more

This is the second book I've ever read by Goines and I'm seeing a pattern--he introduces characters and then loses interest in them halfway through to the point of nonexistence... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars great
this novel lacked few things, and it portrayed Donald Goines as the true genius that he was. of all of the goines novels that i have read, this is one of the best.

1.0 out of 5 stars great "blaxploitation" rudimentary writing
I find it incredulous that anyone could enjoy "Eldorado Red". This insipid work is indicative of a writer who lacks basic writing fundementals. Read more
