True to the game was definitely hyped up. I mean, okay, first I'll give the author props on writing a book cause we do need more black authors, but it was poorly written with alot of mistakes that a good publishing company should have corrected. Second, the author added too many characters that you really couldn't keep up with. Thirdly, she didn't even describe any of the characters really. If you are an Omar Tyree, Sistah Souljah, or Eric J. Dickey fan DO NOT PICK UP THIS BOOK!! Because that means you are used to the author describing the characters to the tee; where you can actually visualize them in your head. This author doesn't do this and you will get frustrated trying to keep up. The storyline was weak also; like she just got tired of writing. The people that hype this book up usually don't read on a regular basis anyway so of course they don't know a good book when they read one. Thats why I said a real book reader knows a good book.
