Streets Of New York Vol. 1 takes readers into the turbulent lives of Promise, Squeeze, Show, and Pooh, four young men from the rough-and-tumble streets of Brook-nam. Big, brash, and bold, the four are modern-day gangstas who take the law into their own hands, helping to rid the hood of derelicts by jacking drug dealers, pimps, and prostitutes. Getting rid of the trash has honed their skills in the urban sports of robbery, jooksing, and jacking, and the gang is good at what they do. But is cleaning up the neighborhood what it’s really all about, or have they begun to enjoy the thrill of the hunt just a little too much? When is enough, enough? A true coming-of-age urbanthology, these funny and exciting stories land the reader deep in Gotham’s gritty underbelly.
Well the book was just ok. It was slow & seem to be repeating itself (more so the last story). The last story seemed as if the author was trying to fill space on the pages.
I saw how the first two authors were able to intertwine the storyline from one scene to the next, however, the last story, I am lost. I skimmed through it. I was going to rate it a 3, until I got to the last story.
I just can't with this series...I tried, but the plot is too unreal and there's too much dialogue between the characters and not enough development in the story.
