Soooo many typos. Mr. Martin, if you need an editor for future work, hit me up. Seriously. I got you. The book is similar to a movie and I loved the concept but it jumped around without enough explanation at times and left me wondering why some characters were important enough to even mention. The stripper and her roommate? How did they even fit in? I was ready for it to end and yet was left hanging with the promise of a sequel that I won’t be reading. 3 stars because I support the strength of anyone who can write and publish a book and want more from this genre for sure.

A Hood Legend takes you through the day-to-day life of Menage Unique Legend and his associates in the streets of Miami. I really liked the story line of the book and the twists and turns but I thought that it could have flowed much better. The problem I had with this book was that each couple of pages changed to different characters and situations without giving many details, making the beginning somewhat confusing. I also was distracted and often thrown off by the constant mention of Menage's Canary yellow Escalade ESV with Burberry seats. There were also grammatical errors that were overlooked. Overall I think A Hood Legend could have been a great story if there were more details and it was more developed.

I loved this book, at first my feelings on this book is that it was going to be boring, but to my surprise it wasn't, it was like watching an action movie, it has so many twist and turns it's crazy, not to mention it also has many interesting characters, this book kept me on my toes, I was also upset that it has or is going to have a part 2, What a tease I was shocked! but nevertheless very pleased.

I really enjoyed this book...Victor L. Martin was my introduction to urban literature and this is what really got me hooked. Martin is a fabulous writer...I can't wait to see more from him, from what I know he's only written 3 books or so. I wish there was more from him. If you like urban/street lit, then you're certain to enjoy this one thoroughly.
