Yayo: In Chiraq, The Murder Capital

I like Yayo because we share something in common, Reese Cup is my favorite candy also. On a serious note, a lot of these street kids originate from bad home situations, because Yayo is a good person with a horrific childhood history, the abuse he suffered was devastating to him and for his mom to witness and not defend him as a child, but I guess she felt by sending him off was helping him. But regardless, he loved him mom. Characters are good, likable characters. I can’t believe Butterball sink Yayo and his organization like that. I really didn’t want to see Yayo get all that time in prison. Quavon gonna be a force to be reckon with.

Haven’t read a book in awhile that has kept my interest like Yayo. There character development of Yaton into Yayo was awesome. The author did great at the transitions there really was a good vs evil theme here. Yaton wanted the best for himself. It started off as just wanting to get money and have something to his name. Well, when he was met with betrayal it changed his whole being and now he couldn’t get out of that lifestyle even if someone paid him.

Man Yay ain't no joke he came up hard and is still going hard even in prison . This author did a good writing this part bc he gave us a background on his life and what lead to his street life. I one part 2 is gonna be filled with drama bc his little brother is gonna be bout that street life.

Raw and gritty. It tells about the life of a big time money maker and how you can't trust everyone. I highly recommend this book to everyone who reads. You won't be disappointed. I loved it.

I was reading what this book was about and decided to give it a read! Boy, am I glad I did. This writer drew me in and I felt like I was right there in the action! The deaths of YaYo friends had me heart broken and I was rooting for YaYo to win but sadly when you live a life of crime, most often it catches up...I am looking forward to reading book 2! Good read.

What A ride, what a ride! I enjoyed this book from the beginning to the end! I look forward to reading more from this author.

I have to say that was a good book. Yayo I dealt was bad hand his killing was off the hook, to be sent to Chicago at 13 was not good.

After seeing news reports on Chicago and living close by in Milwaukee I can relate to this story. Sad be true, not saying that these men needs life, just saying how can we solve this problem? Great story can't wait for part 2!!!
