Fast-paced, gripping story of betrayal. I think I finished this in about 3 days.

This book is basically about this boy betraying his father.
The book's story is fantastic but the dialogue is truly terrible. Donald Goines is a prison author, who needed more seasoning at his craft. Had he been afforded that, this book would have been an all time great.

Most crime writers approach their topic from the far side as it were. They read about crime. Donald Goines lived it, it gives his pot-boiler crime novels an urgency not exactly found in other, more polished work.

The writing's still good, but there's some dumb cliches-- hookers with hearts of gold, etc.-- that "Dopefiend" lacked.
If you like real Hip-hop you would understand!!!!!!!!!!
This is a really quick read, I enjoyed the ride.
