Customer Reviews

Fantastic

Wallace Ford's book is a fantastic and refreshing read, especially for those who enjoy a "strategical" thriller. The characters are well developed, and as each of their stories gently unfold, you can't help but wonder how each "next move" will affect the rest. The book is a brilliant and exciting portal into a rarely explored scene- the personal lives of the highly exclusive "pride". The book is energetic, imaginative, and inviting. I highly recommend it.

It's all good

This book really gets moving with the development of Morningstar, I couldn't put it down. So many wonderful,suprising and strange things unfold as the Pride decide to work together. I was relieved to read that the good guys won, love prevailed and evil begets evil. Read it!

Captivating and Entertaining

Wally Ford's new novel is an entertaining, fast-paced read that offers the reader an intimate view of the power, wealth, decadence, and human fraility that intelligent and successful African American bankers face as they attempt to strategically navigate Wall Street's economic quagmire. The novel held my interest from beginning to end and I have recommended it to many friends. I can't wait for the sequel!

Great Read

The Pride is a great read. Although I was stunned that Paul's younger brother died so early in the novel. I highly recommend the book to those looking for a last minute stocking stuffer!

Great, delightful read

The Pride is an engrossing page turning novel, as much for its richly drawn characters as for its suspense and humor. Mr. Ford has allowed the reader entry into an often overlooked segment of the African-American community: the highly accomplished, supremely motivated, Black professional class. Mr. Ford's characters have worked extremely hard to achieve their version of the American dream and The Pride weaves their aspirations and their demons beautifully. I highly recommend this book.
