Greed
In Newark, New Jersey we travel back and forth between past and present while exploring the troughs of Rae and Bilal, addicts who spend their days scouring for their next high.

I had to laugh at this book Miss Endy put out, this is a second book I picked up by her and needless to say I liked the very first material I read by her better.. Some authors try to hard I think, for me this book was too over the top with so many twist and turns in the end and middle chapters, I know a fiction is supposed to be just that, fictitious.. But what I look for in books I read are things close to reality, something that will deter my mind away from the fact of it being fiction. this b...more
Great book. First time reading anything by this author and now I am getting excited because I am ready to read part 2 soon as I am done with my review.

Desiree gets out and want to start things over and on a clean plate. Bilal ends up somewhat killing himself but, Desiree dont believe that.

This was better than I had expected- I hadn't read anything by this author yet but found this at the store th eother day and picked it up. It was actually very good, fast-paced the whole time with some definite twists that I didn't see coming. The only complaint I have is that the ending had a few too many twists. It all happened so fast in the end and I think to incorporate all she did the book should have been longer or she should have saved some. Then again, what do I know? LOL It was great a...more
I thought that I read this book, but come to find out I didn't... I ordered it from the library. I started it on 4-27-11 and finished today(4-28-11) This was an "OK" book. I really didn't like the ending of the book. I hope part 2 picks up where 1 left off...
I really enjoyed this one the end is what did it for me
