Publisher's summary

K’wan delivers his bloodiest story yet.

“One bullet changed everything.”

Three years after narrowly escaping a one way trip to the gas chamber, the fugitive known only as Animal finds himself drawn back to the scene of the crime: Harlem.

Throughout his entire time in exile, the only thing that kept Animal going was the thought that he would one day be reunited with his soul mate, Gucci - but one bullet changed everything. When his enemies tried to murder Gucci, they crossed the line, so he vowed to cross them all.

While Gucci teeters between life and death, Animal sets out on a bloody mission fueled by love and orchestrated by bullets. There will be no more innocents. Alliances are formed and secrets uncovered while Animal wages his personal war on the streets of Harlem, with the end result revealing one great truth: he is only a small piece in a much larger puzzle.

About the author: K’wan is the number one Essence best-selling author of Section 8, Gutter, Still Hood, Hood Rat, Eve, Hoodlum, Street Dreams, Gangsta, Road Dawgz, and others. He has been featured in Time, New York Press, King, Big News, and on MTV.

good book

a good book but not totally satisfied with the narrator. This type of story needs a more urban touch. I will get book 2 though.

Amazing Series

This was my first K'wan book and my introduction into the urban fiction genre I just searched hood books and it was the first book I saw, so glad I stumbled upon this book. The story is cutthroat with lots of suspence. The character development is amazing especially how everything tied together at the end. Looking forward to reading more books of his!

K'wan did it again!

If you could sum up Animal in three words, what would they be?

Long awaited masterpiece

What did you like best about this story?

The love story in the mist of all the murder and mayhem!

What about Cary Hite’s performance did you like?

Cary Hite's voice helps put the reader right front and center in the middle of the action.

If you could rename Animal, what would you call it?

I would not rename the book. Anmial fits perfectly!

Any additional comments?

I had been anxiously waiting the release of this novel since the last page of Eviction Notice. K’wan did not let me down. He had me crying, laughing, & at times I was even at the edge of my seat. I sure hope I don’t have to wait an entire year for the next installment!

Love the voice reading it

Would you consider the audio edition of Animal to be better than the print version?

I can't say enough about the voice.

Which character – as performed by Cary Hite – was your favorite?

I liked animal...Cary really had a way of switching up his voice to distinguish between characters even the ladies..

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I felt connected even though I have never lived this type of life it's like you become connected to the characters and their stories

Any additional comments?

I think the voice is what made this book even better.

Overall okay

I can't say that this story really sucked in and made me care about the characters as much as some of my favorites have but not bad and I will continue on to part two.
