This is a 5 Star with no questions asked...

Kwan is a very very prolific writer, His writing skills and descriptiveness reminds me so much of the late great Donald Goines. Street Dreams is such a brilliant story, from beginning to end. Sometimes I hate to write reviews because I tend to tell the whole dam story. ? But this is a definite must read. Hopefully you will decide to add this to your shopping cart and when you do read it, pay close attention to how "the game" changes this young man's outlook on life, love, relationships and money.

Love in da hood

It is evident that K'wan has has major talent, he writes with a street flair spiked with a twist of passion. "Street Dreams" is a love story set within the streets of the hood. This is an excellent book starring Rio, a loveable character who dreams of holding down a decent job and a quiet life away from the ghetto. Well...I should'nt say "dreams" because Rio actually goes out and looks for employment. This cat is smart, and along with his girlfriend Trinity, they try to take the right steps to make their move. But alas...road blocks...grimey characters. Go out and get a copy of this book you'll find it is worth your dollars.

A Ghetto Love

Street Dreams was the first book I read by K'wan and it won't be the last. Rio is trying to leave the street life behind but it won't let him. He finds love in Trinity but it's destroyed when he finds out the terrible secret she's been keeping from him. Just when you think it's over, Trinity get's kidnapped and all hell breaks loose. The story ends in a way that you are unprepared for. Street Dreams is a must-read!! I give it 5 stars!!!

Street Dreams don't always turn out the way we want

This book has a very interesting plot. Its basically consists of a drug dealer turned drug lord and how he wants to escape the drug life. The book is a page-turner. If you liked K'wan's other books I HIGHLY recommend that you pick this one up.

Street Dreams*****

Romeo & Juliet with a urban twist, Street Dreams is one of those books that everybody in the hood can relate to. K'wan you really are a soldier when you pick up that pen, don't ever put it down or lean it out. Glamour Coast2Coast Readers Online Book Club
