Customer Reviews

Good read.. should have been proof-read better though....

Enjoyed reading about this "sensationalized" personality. Seems that he was quite a bit different from the charactar that Denzel Washington played in the movie based on his life for real. It can at times be hard to tell if what Frank states is really true OR if he's making it up as he goes. BUT.. still and enjoyable read.

Lies Revealed!

A great book that reveals the truth about Frank Lucas. Harlem Godfather: The Rap on my Husband, Ellsworth "Bumpy" Johnson I would also advise readers to check out Harlem Godfather: The Rap on my Husband, Ellsworth "Bumpy" Johnson to find the true story of the REAL American gangster, Bumpy Johnson.

THE REAL DEAL!!

This book gave true facts on an amazing story in Harlem's history. While Frank Lucas has always been labeled one of Harlem's most notorious kingpins for decades, few people knew the true story behind who he really was. This was an excellent read and provided a lot of insight...the DVD was even better, I purchased them both. Putting out the truth is always met with resistence, but in the end it's worth it. I look forward to reading more stories like this one from Street Certified Entertainment.

A real inside look!

I thought that this book was great! It really gives you an indepth look without all of the fluff. An easy read! I could not put it down. I really liked the way the book coincided with DVD! If you have one, you must get the other........

THIS IS AN AWESOME BOOK, DEFINITELY WORTH THE READ...IGNORE THE NAYSAYERS!!

This book is a winner...It is an accurate and detailed depiction of the real man behind the media hyped version of Frank Lucas and gives a birds eye view of many of Frank's illusions of grandeur. It is evident that the authors have gone through great researching efforts to find a lot of the information, a task that in this day and age of "keep your mouth shut" is very hard to accomplish...It is very sad to see that some people are unable to separate content from delivery and see this work for what it truly is. While it may stand a little editorial improvement, I highly commend Street Certified Entertainment for taking the risk of self publishing in the interest of getting such a poignant story out to the public...not many have the guts to go against the grain of mainstream Hollywood, only those with heart...SO instead of sitting home writing negative book reviews because of a missing comma or two (Brian C. Thomas, get a life... or better yet, write a book), readers should try to focus more on the story that is being told...the real story. This is a book definitely worth reading
