Summary of the Book:
Meet Pretty Boy Floyd, a charismatic young man with an overwhelming desire to become the boss of a powerful crime family. Growing up in the wicked streets of Southeast San Diego, mayhem and despair are the foundations for the daily grind. Pretty Boy studies the game and plays just as hard, determined to eventually rule as the head Crip in charge. As fate would have it, Pretty Boy makes more enemies than he would like, and emerges a man ready to take over. Returning home from prison during the height of the crack epidemic, Pretty Boy seizes the opportunity to rise to the top, one murder at a time. Unbeknownst to him, murder for hire, gang banging, and stealing come with a hefty price. In the end he is forced to acknowledge there would be only one winner in the Game of Gangsters. It’s kill or be killed.
My Personal Review: I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. I have always loved the era of the gangster. That is where this book Career Criminal takes up. With one of the most infamous among them: Pretty Boy Floyd. He came back from prison only to see his home is nothing like the play that he left behind. This story tells you like it is how to survive and make choices that will not only affect one person but whole neighborhoods. Pretty Boy wants to make his own play in history and this is his start. It is dirty, gritty and power full writing.
My Rating of the Book: 4 1/2 Stars
