Book Review – Hustle: Street Power by Jonathan Copeland

January 15, 2013 Joey Pinkney

JoeyPinkney.com Book Review
Hustle: Street Power
Jonathan Copeland
2 out of 5 stars

(01-19-2013: I decided to revise this book review and add examples from the book to support what I discussed in this book review because the author assumed I did not read the book but instead rated the book solely on punctuation errors. I added sentences from the book as examples of the flaws I point out. I added the hidden spoilers so both the author and readers, if they choose, can get a better idea of some of the aspects of this book that lead to the 2 star rating. This is not an attempt to be malicious. My intention is to be clear in my assessment and provide the author with constructive criticism.)

“Hustle: Street Power” is Jonathan Copeland’s debut novel. Although Elmo Davidson was heavy in the streets, he wanted nothing more than his only son, Nice, to be a productive citizen and live the straight and narrow. Death is par for the course in Elmo’s “profession”, and he was violently snatched away from Nice and Nice’s mother Cynthia. In an instant, Nice and Cynthia went from having access to anything their hearts desired to struggling to makes ends meet. This also meant that Nice, at the age of 17, had to take a job as a short order cook to help his mother foot the day-to-day costs of living.
