straight hood

I really enjoyed this book even though the first story with africa really pissed me off, cause she was so stupid. But in all it was a good book.

Stuck on Stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ladies, get a grip!

Girls from da hood is a must read, a collector's item. The second time around is much better than the first! Kashamba's main character, Africa is so far gone it ain't even funny. She's on her way to Mars chasing a pair of pants, she gives "Treachery" a whole other definition in Webster's book. Like Bernie Mac says, "Stoopid, stoopid!" Joy re-enacts "Crackhead" by Lisa Lennox. It was okay, but too close to Lisa's novel. So if you cop this, don't buy "Crackhead", because you just read it. Nicki's back and doing that "Thang!" "Once A Hoodrat..." is a continuation and it is excellent! The drama and suspense is all that. Unique is still in a world of her making and she never seems to be able to get past self. But, one thing about her is that she's a soldier 'til the end. She is never one to be counted out when all the chips are down because she's definitely one sista that will always have another plan! Bet on it. Congrats to the ladies for doing their thang!

It's all good in the hood!!! (Deserves 6 stars)

On the real, this book is on fire! "Girls from the Hood 2" was sooooo good. I read this book in like one day. All the stories was on point. Kashamba's story "Chocolate Girl" was first it's about Africa and Rock, she did a good job she had me feeling sorry for Africa and hating Rock's behind. Joy's story "Wanna Be" was unbelievable! I was surprised that ol' girl was White! I'm glad that Nikko came through for Harmony. Nikki Turner did her thang, for sure! Her story "Once a Hoodrat" brings back Unique, and she's fresh outta jail, and back in the arms of Took, who she did real dirty last time. Unique is back to her old ways, but what comes around goes around, and all I can say is damn!!!

Loved it!

I loved this book. I finished It the day I bought It. All the stories were great, but I loved how Unique got hers on the last one, but we have not seen the last of her yet. Nikki do your thing girl! ok. why? why? why? was chocolate soo stupid? ohh yeah I didn't know ol girl from the second story was white. Good writing that's what that was. Good read girls keep doing what yall doing.
