Review: Du Grand Iceberg Slim ! - Tout simplement magnifique ! Du grand Iceberg Slim ! Le roman nous bouleverse du début à la fin, moins violent que black Mama widow ou Pimp, mais l’univers noir et sombre de l’auteur est bien présent.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Du Grand Iceberg Slim !
*by L***T on 5 November 2017*

Tout simplement magnifique ! Du grand Iceberg Slim ! Le roman nous bouleverse du début à la fin, moins violent que black Mama widow ou Pimp, mais l’univers noir et sombre de l’auteur est bien présent.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good book.

Showed up exactly as the photo shown. Also no mold no smell. All pages in tact.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unbelieveable
*by A***G on 13 January 2007*

I find it stunning that a black pimp (the author, Iceberg Slim)can take you inside the mind of a racially-mixed con man (protagonist, White Folks) in a time period where race where was a central issue of daily life. There is such an authentic feel to this book that it's hard to believe it's fiction. If you've never read Iceberg Slim before, prepare yourself for an up-close look at a world that most people don't even know exists. Urban culture as popularized by music and movies today has never been as glamorous as Snoop Dogg would have you to believe it is. The fact that Iceberg Slim never enters popular lists of great American authors like Twain and Hemmingway is a shame. He's truly extraordinary. This book, as well as other Iceberg Slim novels, takes a look at the true feelings and struggles of the urban underworld. I would NOT recommend this book to readers under fourteen years of age. -alan
