what a story

From reading books like thes , it really helps sees what society has truly turned to. This as great book and the author aways delivers. Im so thankful that I choose not to live a life as described in the pages, actaully Lets say never been encountered with a life of the characters, and I can only give all the Thanks to the Creator. Think about all the lives thats been destroyed behind drugs. Graet author.

Another one!

The book was good but I was hoping that more characters from the dopeman's wife would have been included in this book. Hazel, Seven and Millie were the main characters. Millie was the only person that I remembered from the first book in this trilogy. I will be waiting for the last book. I recommend this book because so many people have drug addictions that take over their life. I wish that Hazel would have been survived the hood but she had a sad life...

A GOOD READ....

THE DOPEFIEND WAS A REALLY GOOD BOOK TO BE HONEST I ENJOY MORE THEN THE FIRST ONE. CAN'T WAIT FOR PART THREE TO COME OUT..I'M WONDERING IF THESE CHARACTERS ARE GOING TO BE IN PART THREE GUESS I HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE...WELL GO OUT AND READ THIS BOOK IT'S THE MONEY

He did it again

Every time I think of giving street fiction a break, Ashley or JaQuavis pull me back in. Dopefiend is by far THE BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ. Hazel is the daughter of an ex-kingpin and a junkie mother, but follows in her mother's footsteps when she meets Millie and becomes addicted to heroin. It seems like being an addict was her sad fate because it was all she knew. But when she meets Seven (OMG, hmm, hmm, hmm Seven) he is her prince in shining armor, but of course the game gets in the way and she betrays him. The plot in this read is magnificent while the character development pulls you in immediately and doesn't let you go until the end. This is a tragic story of friendship and love, not to mention my girl MIllie from The Dopeman's Wife is killing it in this new joint. I can't say that I'm surprised because JaQuavis always brings it in his books. I was left sad, mad, completely shocked and with my jaw dropped to the floor. PHENOMENAL! KUDOS! Can't wait for Part 3. I'm just mad that it doesn't come out until the end of the year.
