Book Reviews of King Suckerman

Book Review: Bad Muthas, Bikers and Superfly soul
Summary: 4 Stars

Blaxploitation with a Real Right soundtrack. If you are into the crime genre you'll like it, if you are into the blaxploitation, pulp fiction sort of thing you'll love it. But what sets this book apart from the others is its soundtrack, Marcus Clay owner of Real Right records knows his soul from his rock, his funk from his blues. The music in this novel is as important as it is in any movie. The author uses it to set scenes, and leave ideas resonating in the readers head much the same way as a good tune does. If you like gritty crime writing, stories of high life low living brothers and good music this is for you.
