Bishop By: Miz Richard Brown Jr. AKA "Bishop" the son of a prominent pastor and schoolteacher was raised to keep God first in his life and always do the right thing. However, sometime it doesn't happen that way, the Brown family is forced to move into the most ruthless projects in Brooklyn (Fort Greene) due to financial difficulties. That's when the entire problem started, when Richard met the love of his life Lisa, the hottest chick in the Fort Greene area. Unfortunately for both Lisa and Bishop, Shameek wasn't having it. Shameek was determined to destroy everything that stood in Bishop ways. I heard so many positive things about this book, before even getting my hands on it. Everyone has his or her opinion, and I had to admit I was curious on what all the "HYPE" was about. I came to the conclusion that everyone was corrected about this book. Miz really out did himself with this book I give it a 9. Great job Miz. Shaifire Urbanfirebooks

This story is action pack. Has love, backstabbing, loyalty, drugs, murder, robbery all the making for a great story that could easily be a movie. This book is unpredictable and a must read. Author Miz does a great job bringing this story together, while putting the hood in pen form. I commend him on his introduction of the characters. He gives you background on each one of them to the point that you saying damn I understand now why they did x, w, z. I also commend him on his choice of the cover once you read the book the cover totally makes sense. Sometimes a cover does not jump out to me but I have to admit the cover hit it right on the nail. I look forward to reading more from this Author. I had this book for months and I am so glad I pulled it out my waiting to be read pile. I brought part 2 when I brought Bishop so now I am off to continue the story. SiStar Tea ARC Book Club Inc. Star rating: 5

Good Read

I slept on this book, I must admitt. I met OH!, who was promoting the book for Miz at a book signing. I purchased the book with the intent to just pass it on, but I must say that I am so happy that I didn't. This really was a great book. "Bishop" is a church-going dude living in the projects of Brooklyn. One act of violence changes his life forever. This is a good book and I recommend it to all! Especially dudes who try and keep out of the World of drugs, and violence while living in the projects! Enjoy.
