Whoreson by Donald Goines ♦♦♦♦♦
Goines takes the reader into the violent world of ghetto prostitution. Whoreson Jones, the novel's hero, is the son of a beautiful black prosititute and an unknown white john. By the age of sixteen, he is a fully- fledged pimp, cold blooded, ruthless. Written in gritty street talk, Whoreson's story affords a startling glimpse into the hell of the inner city, yet brisrles with bitter humor and defiant pride.
Critique: I found Whoreson to be very interesting. It was a glimpse into a lifestyle that has since become endangered, Pimping. The book was raw and gritty. He exposed all aspects of the game, from a Pimps and Childs point of view. The book is a page turner, I hated to put it down. I would definitely recommend this to all my avid readers.
