Street Judge: A Novel by Judge Greg Mathis
http://reviews.aalbc.com/street_judge.htm
Street Judge is a wonderful debut. Mathis kept it real throughout the novel. He does not shy away from the violence or the gruesome details. After the slow start, I was easily hooked by the mystery and the suspense level of the story rose and remained high. I read the novel in a day. I hope that Street Judge will be the first of many more novels to come.
The Beautiful Struggle: A Father, Two Sons, and an Unlikely Road to Manhood by Ta-Nehisi Coates

Most importantly, what I can say about the book is that I was MOVED! I would have given anything to have had a book such as The Beautiful Struggle when I was a kid. The fact that I was not alone and maybe I was not the only oddball would have meant the world to me. I recommend The Beautiful Struggle. If you have a son or know of a young man that loves to read, I can think of no other book to give him.

Sweetsmoke is excellent. The novel is beautifully written and flows smooth and quickly. The murder mystery was wonderful. The characters were fully developed with Cassius being the standout. The ending is bittersweet and realistic. I cannot say enough positive comments about the novel. I highly recommend it. |

I just read the review on Street Judge and sent the link to Judge Mathis. I am sure that he will appreciate the kind thoughts as much as I do.
Blessings,
