This was a good book. the only thing about it was Iceberg slim uses way to much slang in his writtings. It's kinda hard to understand what is being said sometimes cause of the excessive use of slang words. Luckily the copy that i had, had the meaning for the slang words used so i was unable to either use my context clues or look at the definitions at the bottom of each page which of course can slow down the reading flow of any book when you constantly referring back to a slang disctionary to find out word meanings. But overall, it's pretty good read.
