More Reader Feedback For The Pride of Park Avenue


"The Pride of Park Avenue," is intense, tragic, filled with misery, but you refused to succumb to your environment. This book seems like it could be fiction, all while exposing the truth of growing up in what many call, 'urban America.' I would definitely recommend this book to people from all walks of life. You are an intriguing author. It took a while for me to read it but once I started I couldn't put it down.

The primary characters, as well as the secondary characters, are all well developed. What really made this story stand out was the character and story development. The characters held my interest and intrigued me to want to continue the book to see what will happen. Love, sex, and drugs are always a deadly combination.
