While I give this book a 4 star for writing. And it's a good story and all...I don't ever want to read another one of her books. I found the detailed description of drug production to be completely unnecessary and a crime in and of itself. It didn't do a damn thing for the story...in fact it pulls the reader right out of the story, along with the rap songs...and think of the harm it could do! Yeah, I get it jail sucks...don't want to be there! There are a hundred other ways the author could have expressed that...including with the drug production without the details. Okay, there's my rant. She's a good writer...there were no surprises in the plot, but it was carried out with expertise.
