Attn: Readers
Although this book is very street-oriented, in no way, shape or form, is it to promote any negativity. I ask that all of you readers please take note that this book is in some form, the reality of the streets, and if you read between the lines, you will be able to grasp the messages that are within the text.

GOOD READ,
By IDA PROTHRO (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: that was dirty (Paperback)
This was my first purchase from this Author and I must say, I was not disappointed. The friendship between Gage and Mills was so real, you would have thought that they was blood bros, when your real blood bro turns on u. Then there's Gage's X Shantel and her so called best friend Arrila,both are as low down and they come. This is just the icing on the cake.... So u will need to buy this book and see that snitching is still going strong. Make be think of one phase in the book. Blood is thicker than water, but you need water to LIVE.

That Was Good!!!!,
This review is from: that was dirty (Paperback)
Anthony Parker (a.k.a. Gage) just got home from a five year prison sentence ready to hit the streets again with his right hand man Mills. Gage and Mills quickly make a name for themselves on the street but not without a price. Someone whom they least expected is trying to take them down. Gage and Mills better wake up before it's too late. Gage also meets the woman of his dreams but can he give up the streets for her? Shantel is regretting the mistake she made when she turned her back on her ex-fiancé Gage five years ago. She now wants him back but Gage has already moved on. Shantel leans on her best friend Arrissa for moral support but Arrissa has some ulterior motives of her own. Soon, everyone is involved in an out of control circle of revenge that turns deadly. Who will survive?
That Was Dirty is an extraordinary novel by Wasiim. Wasiim expertly penned a well crafted novel about respect, betrayal, and loyalty. This book is a captivating street tale but it also has some important messages throughout this story. One of the biggest messages that readers will find is that revenge is not always sweet. You will sympathize with all of these characters. You feel Gage as he struggles between his Muslim faith and his life of crime. You also feel Shantel trying to cope with the biggest mistake of her life. Great character development, a fast-paced storyline, and never-ending drama makes That Was Dirty one of the most exciting urban fiction debuts of the year. Reviewed by Radiah Hubbert of Urban Reviews

Dirty or What?,

This review is from: that was dirty (Paperback)
I read this when it first came out,2005...it was good then and better this time around.
A very good story of friendship,betrayal and vengeance.With people like some of these characters in your life you need no enemies. I re read this to familiarize myself for part 2,Sinnamon,now I'm in desperate need to find part 3,When It Hits The Fan,that he said in the acknowledgments was already done...CAN ANYBODY HELP A JUNKIE OUT? Oh...back to the review...sorry Gage comes home after a 5 year bid with two things on his mind....to get money and never go back.Every goal has obstacles and Gage find a few get in his way....old and new love....haters.....and betrayal by some that were really close to him. Find out if Gage can reach his goals in Wasiim's well told story. 3.95* rating.
