I'll never be able to explain what keeps me coming back to urban dramas even when I've expressed my occasional distaste for many. Maybe it comes from the hope that as the years go by, there will be one urban drama that shakes up the genre and challenges old concepts and writing.
However there are films like True to the Game that makes me believe the genre has gotten too comfortable. The film, based on the based selling novel by Teri Woods, follows Quadir Columbus Short , a well established street hustler. He began to have thoughts of stepping out of the game after falling for Gina Erica Peeples and receiving threats from others taking over his position. And I will read this again!!!

I want to see how they take this and make it into an entertaining tale for movie goers. I listened to this book on Audible. Hands down the best thing about this book was Cary Hite's voice in my ear. He brings stories to life.
As uninteresting as this story was for me, I still enjoyed him. Okay enough of Mr. There was not enough movement in this story to warrant breaking the Clearly this author is talented. There was not enough movement in this story to warrant breaking the story up into another installment.
Throughout this entire edition, I kept saying two things -"I thought Gina was in mourning over Qua? I highly doubt that before she found the money she "came up on" that a street savvy woman would have blown thru the money that Rick gave her to hold her over until she found a job or her next baller.
She took 20K and outfitted her grandmothers home in the projects, instead of using the things that she had in storage. Wouldn't all the activity of the new furniture, flooring, etc. The Richard Allen projects were supposed to be a dangerous place. This just made no sense to me. Ra's and the dope boy round up story line made sense and went along with a hood tale.
This kind of thing happens. I get it. I could even understand Jarelle's story line in this edition again not out of character and made sense.
Gina's parental history. It was brought up and I'm hoping it will have some relevance in the last installment. It had none in this one. The moves made were not the moves of hood kings and queens. I'm not one and even I can tell common sense should have prevailed with characters like Gina. And I'll say it again, telling a reader someone is a certain type of person doesn't work unless the actions of the character reflect it.
I didn't feel that Gina was in mourning nor was she street savvy. All that being said, I am going to listen to the final installment next. Fingers crossed the story picks up Update: This story did not translate well to the big screen, but for what I believe is a first time effort, I commend the author for actually getting her story told in a new medium.
Hopefully, lessons learned will be reflected in her new endeavors. Apr 01, Natikwa Goodwin rated it liked it. Like normally, the sequel is never better then the first one. This book was fairly okay but like I said the first one was much better. There were many times throughout the book that I had gotten confused. Many times would include the transitions between the portions of the book that included the scenes with the officers and drug dealers and the scenes that included Gena.
The ending of the book had started to become very predictable, with the tiny hints thrown in between sentences, from the strang Like normally, the sequel is never better then the first one. The ending of the book had started to become very predictable, with the tiny hints thrown in between sentences, from the strange car following her to the random killings that started to occur. Clearly this book was created to ensure people would purchase the final one, True To The Game 3.
This book had no basic plot or problem. The entire book only talked about the journey of Jerrell trying to figure out who the rich mysterious Gena was getting her money from, and vice versa. Everyone was getting voted off the Island in these random murders without any explanations. Part II was a complete buildup into Part 3.
If you are a true book reader, the book was setup in a way that would make sure you would want to read Part 3. True to the Game II left so may questions unanswered. This is sometimes a good thing starting from the beginning of the book and getting the answers in the end. View 2 comments. Mar 24, 4 shaqdaddy rated it it was amazing. For example, I may come across a homeless cocaine addict on the street begging for money, or row homes filled with friendly neighbors that greet you as you walk into your home.
As I was reading this wonderful story, certain chapters had me reminiscing on my past in the summer because I could remember my Uncle and his friends walking to school in the morning, or catching a glimpse of what seems to be a bloody war but actually to girls fighting on a hot day after school. That same incident occurred in the book, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't their Uncle. All three combinations lead up to an amazing story.
First, I noticed how engaging this story was because once I've read one page something was pulling me to read another. If that's not enough proof for you then I guess when one of the characters get raped right in the middle of chapter two will and if not then I don't know what else will.
Or maybe when the baby of one of the top selling drug dealers get snatched from both of her parents while all of them were in the mist of their own home by someone she cheated with her husband on, and possibly could not be her husbands father but the kidnappers which was the mistress's husband friend at the time.
Such juicy details came along with such a wonderful shocking story. Furthermore, if you are looking to read a story that has a shocking climax or better yet suspense that will have you pulling your air out of your head until you know what actually is going on then this is the story for you. Reading more into the book I noticed that this one particular girl fell in love with someone you thought was her soul mate. Surprisingly, Q also known as Quadir died because of the type of Drug related lifestyle he was living.
Of course his girlfriend was entirely upset and wanted to seek revenge. She did whatever she could to try and relieve the pain she was going through and yes she died kill a few people but if you had love for your spouse the way she did then apparently you would do it to.
Reading more into the story you would have found out at the ending of the book that Quadir never died, and yes he did come back to be with his beloved spouse. Internet Archive's 25th Anniversary Logo. Search icon An illustration of a magnifying glass.
