The Good Life

By: Dorian Sykes

Narrated by: Ruffin Prentiss

1988 is the era, Detroit is the scene, and crack is the movement. It's a time when young black men can become self-made millionaires seemingly overnight by selling dope. The crack era has become to blacks what Prohibition was to the Italians - a time to get over! It's a time that inspires generations of street dreams....

Fresh out of high school, young Wink has but one thing on his mind - rollin' fresh. Infatuated by all the trappings of the game, Wink and his B-boy crew jump headfirst into the ills of the drug trade, determined to taste the good life. As they pay their dues and the unforgiving streets harden their hearts, they learn that all dreams aren't worth livin' and that nothing lasts forever, not even friendship.

Good book

This was a good book. I like how the writer went back and used specific details to describe the time in which the story took place. I really enjoyed the book. Can’t wait for part two and three!

Okay

The book was okay. I did not like the way winkee treated his mother. Something tells me the man he is calling his father is not his dad. There is book two. But as usual the book is not downloaded. I am so frustrated with Audible for not having the series downloaded. Well there is a cliffhanger. So hopefully the second book will be downloaded soon.
