This book is a love letter to Tribe. Very well written and thoughtful. I actually knew the author when he was in high school. I worked with his older brother, who was also a big Tribe fan- we argued about The Love Movement album when it was released (I liked it).

This is written with a great prose. I found out Hanif was writing because we had anticipated article about him in our local paper. He's been winning awards for a good reason. If you like hiphop, check this one out.

I don't think there is another book quite like this one. It's simple, yet smart. Deep, yet shallow enough not to lose you if you can't keep up. I saw the film before I read the book. Good film, much better novel.

A multi-faceted story of individual development and growth, all while wrapped in the now historic but still culturally relevant scene of black power and urban resistance in the 1960s American ghetto.

The author writes dialogue with the same ability of great authors like Hurston. He captures the current slang and euphemisms with the smooth prose of a modern Shakespeare. I wish he had written more books, I would happily read anything written by him.

There's so much here. Part character study, part psychology textbook, part manifesto. A book like this could only be written by someone with the training and understanding of the tactics so eloquently detailed. My utmost respect is given to the author.

This is an easy to read and relatively short novel. I think it was written that way on purpose, the author didn't want potential readers to be intimidated by a large book. But don't let the simplicity or brevity fool you. This is a masterpiece!

I've read at least 20 books on the assassination and this is perhaps the best one. It's a somewhat dry read, which is the only criticism I have. It's kind of textbook like. But the main reason to buy this book is the information! I learned many things here that I'd never seen in other books. If you read only one book on the assassination, make it this one.

Good book about conspiracy theories surrounding recent American history. I learned a few new things. It's good to hear opinions of the experts who were interviewed.

I'm a big fan of stand up and Tom has become one of my favorites. This book is full of funny stories (some that I've heard him joke about on stage) and other details of his life that help us get to know him better. Even better that it was recorded by him, so you get to hear his voice. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and recommend it to anyone that likes Tom's comedy.

Interesting story, but takes an unexpected turn at the end. Didn't care for the ending.

Ultimately an informative read. Provides insight into agency tactics of the 60s. Highly recommended for all who dive deep into learning more about Kennedy assassination and surrounding events. Only one criticism: the book may take a little too much time providing details of Mary's life that could've been trimmed for some brevity. I would like to hear more from this author.

I got this book because I love all things Malcolm Gladwell, but this book bored me. Perhaps I should have known better since I had no interest in the subject matter. I didn't find the larger relevant point I usually get from reading Gladwell. If you aren't interested in the subject matter, don't get this book assuming it is anything like his other work.

I listened to this just to get perspective, not because I needed help with the issue. Some topics are simplified, but I tend to agree with most things that were said. It reinforced the common sense ideas that I already had. Glad it was a short listen.

If you want to know the truth about the assassination of MLK, this book is a must read! Captivating from the beginning. The proof is clear that just like most other political assassinations of that decade, there is more to the story.
