Reading and reviewing these novels were a challenge for me. I am not from the world of these books, and the language was difficult for me to read. I almost backed out of the review, actually. I’m glad I pushed through, as the books can give you a glimpse into a world you may never see outside of a book.
True to the Game, by Teri Woods is the book that really put urban lit on the map when it was first published in 1994. Her novel gives us a vivid look into the gritty reality of urban life – the women, drug lords, and the rest of the residents of South Philly. True to the Game II continues that look into the underbelly of urban life. If you like books and movies about the lives of mafia and crime lords, you will really enjoy these two books, and be anxiously awaiting the release of True to the Game III.
