COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Off the Wall Good submitted by katie000 on December 4, 2012, 8:20pm Growing up attuned to the hustler lifestyle, Kyra Jones goes from spoiled princess to being dropped abruptly into reality's many offenses. 'Fast Life' is Carter's first novel filled with an intensity that won't let you put the book down. An impressive read for all those looking for a ride-of-your-life storyline.
