I, like many of my friends from my childhood, read this book back in the 60's. I know people who haven't read ANY books BUT novels by Iceberg Slim. It's hard to explain what his novels mean to black people, especially young black people. Iceberg Slim's novels are real, gripping testimonials to the pitfalls of living the fast life. At the same time, his books are populated with unforgettable characters that black people identify with; they breathe life into his books and make the reader laugh and cry with the ups and downs that they experience. You cannot put his books down, and the story lines stay with you for the rest of your life. Iceberg Slim is up there with James Clavell, Stephen King, and the other great storytellers of our time.
