Book Reviews of Honky
Book Review: Honky is phat!
Summary: 5 Stars
Tierd of the feel sorry for me memoir circuit, Honky was a welcome change. His portrayal of his childhood was always, touching and vulnerable, but nonetheless he knew he had advantages over the children around him because of his skin color.Book Review: White Man Aint Talking Trash
Summary: 5 Stars
I would like to shake Mr. Conley's hand because that guy got it right for a change--not all is fair and equal.Book Review: Keeping It Real
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an honest account of being young and poor but having an advatage because of skin color. The author has both the perception and a great writing style that takes the reader effortlessly on a journey to the mean streets of Alphabet City. All the characters we meet stand out but my favorite is the mother. Both city and country folks would love this book. A ninety year old woman picked up this book and would not give it back until she finished it two days later. Both white and black, young or old, city or country would love Honky!
