No punches pulled here, Omar tells it like it is. A great story but there are areas where I get a little too much detail and the story can deviate. But overall the plot is good, I prefer this to his other novel "A Do Right Man" but it could be that the language used is more suited to a youngster. Not yet able to put Omar in the same league as E Lynn Harris, Terri Macmillan & Eric Jerome Dickey, but he's getting there

I love all of Omar Tyree's books they make you feel like your actually there experiencing everything, sometimes when I read it on the train I nearly end up missing my stop cause I just forget where I am. I recommend all his books to my friends and I even gave Flyy Girl to my Fifteen year old brother to read and he couldn't wait to get home from school and catch up. Keep up the good work Omar Tyree u have fans everywhere.
