good read

i just finished this book. it was a good book . it started out slow but a good urban street book. the consequences come to life especially at the end.it was interesting about how the jewelry was stolen than sold.

The Diamond District

This book was a good read. DJ a college grad, turn to the street for fast money.... Leave that fast money alone and work for what you want in life. Great read.

Avid reader

I would most definitely recommend this book to someone else, in fact I already have. I feel that the author did a grat job of brining the character to life. A character that many people can relate to. This book appeals to those who love to read as well as those who have never picked up a book before. It tells the tale of a struggle that many young people are faced with today. I enjoyed reading it. I felt like I was a part of their lives and I knew each individual personally. I embraced them as a part of my circle so I was not surprised when I cried and laughed the same times they did.

AWESOME!!!!

The first time I read this book I couldn't put it down. I read it almost everyday from chapter one to chapter twenty-six non stop it was that great yes indeed it was filled with humor. Likewise, it was off the chain Derrick Pledger write another compelling book like the diamond district.......okay....I'll be looking forward to having it in my collection just brillant, just brilliant......

Great book! Compelling, with a touch of humor

I read this book and realized it's a very real-life rendition of a serious of events. Through in a little bit of humor here and there and it is definitely entertaining and piques one's interest.
