Product Description
When Kevin Bailey, a black, jobless twenty-something returns to New York City from a recent hermitage in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, he finds himself both broke and homeless.

Whew! Where should I begin: Maybe the run-on sentences, the dangling participles, the faulty logic or the rambling paragraphs would be a start! 4th grade, maybe 5th grade creative class, after a few glasses of wine would produce a grade of D almost a plus! My best recommendation would be for the author to pull this one and read a few thousands good books in the quite hours of his new career as night watchman for a parking garage.

Wow–excruciating detail–the story line was OK, but line after line of detail takes away from it. (In one instance, you are told the amount of a paycheck down to the penny, mentioning FICA and other withholding) Some of the things that happened are not quite believable– Should have spent the $$ for a good editor. Hope the next book improves.

Very poor writing style. It felt like this was a grade school kid making up his first story as an assignment for basic English. I finished it but it took a great deal of wil power!

This is a well-written book. It kept me up until 4 a.m. so I could find out how it was all going to end. A real page-turner and well worth the read. Hopefully this author is onto his next book. Better still, hopefully his next book is about to be released!
