Critic reviews

"K'wan continues his popular Hood Rat series with yet more of what his readers expect: action, murder, betrayal, sex, more action, familiar faces, and a few surprises." ( Publishers Weekly)

Ummmmm

Another amazing book by K’wan! Just focus on the story and NOT the Narrator. AND who idea was it to add music before/after each chapter?

This book will have you checkin' for K'wan!

This book gets all credit for starting my love affair with Urban Fiction! Once I began listening, I was instantly intrigued. I had no idea there were books like this! I had fallen out of reading and had only truly gotten back into it due to the writer's strike on TV. One day I decided to take chance a story called Section 8 and was blown away! I love how each chapter tells its own story all the while leaving you with a tidbit of info to keep in mind as the plot thickens. This story seemed to just unexpectedly pull you in each characters own triumph and dilemma and make you want to know more about their story whether it be good or bad. My favorite character was Gucci just because she was so down to earth and loyal. The interaction between her and her girlfriends felt real because K'wan truly made them individuals, flaws and all. Oh and this character Animal was the epitome of what I want in a boyfriend in my head lol. This was a great read/listen and once I was done, I had Welfare Wifey's next on deck! This may be the first book offered by the very talented author on audible.com, but it is merely scratching the surface when it comes to K'wan's catalog. Ya'll need to see about that man!!

Good story

Really enjoyed the story!! Feel like everyone except Tyana got what they deserved!! She did what she had to do to help her man only for him to end up mad at her. Enough so that he beat her up for it.

K’Wan is BEAST!

This narrator wasn’t great. Nice voice, but she stuttered over many words and then started speed reading towards the end! I am fully vested in this series, and found it ti be just as good as the preceding novels, I just hope she doesn’t read anymore lol.

different

i miss carl hite performance. he is awesome and makes the story very interesting and exciting

Classic

One of K'wan's is best books that puts his universe together from the Animal series to the Hoodrat series to Hoodlum. This is one of his best books.

It was a decent story

With so much going on the author didn’t build the relationship with Gucci and Animal.

Good but the Sequeal is Better!

I actually listened to the sequel Welfare Wifeys first before I realized that there was a book before it. This is a good listen but the narrator just didn't live up to the job that the Welfare Wifeys narrator gave. I still suggest this book because it gives you more insight on the charactors which I enjoyed.

K'wan is a urban writer genius...love his style

I sooo love K'wan style if writing and how he makes the characters come alive like they are real..I especially love his series. I wish I would have read this before the other animal and hoodlum books because the characters intertwine and that makes it more enjoyable. If you are a fan of the character animal and urban street love then this is a must read

GOOD LISTEN

This was a great book it will keep you interesting the charcters are great!! can not wait to listen to the 2nd one.
