Summary: Worth your while
Review: I really enjoyed reading Let That Be The Reason. I think it was a very good book and the author did a outstanding job putting her thoughts on paper to create a crediable novel. The thing I enjoyed most about the book was that it was fact based and it didnt have a fariy-tale ending, since we all know that isnt how things go in real life. It was good to see a females view on the da game. Carmen was jut trying to make it in life, and that is why most people enter da game in the first place. Only when it is time to face the consquences, do people start to think about the decisions they have made. Ms. Stringer had a wonderful debut novel, and I will be awaiting the sequel.

Summary: The sistah kept it real!
Review: I am annoyed by those that say she didn't keep it real. After all, it IS a novel. Every detail didn't need to be spelled out nor did it have to read like an episode of "The Wire". For her debut novel, I think Ms. Stringer did an excellent job on "her" story, yes HER story. It is loosely based on her life. Characters are always going to do things the reader may not, that adds to the excitement of reading. I empathize with Pamela, she did what she thought she had to do, but for all choices we make, there are consequences. For those who want real urban fiction, you will like this book. I look forward to reading the sequel.

Summary: What exactly IS the reason?
Review: If you are looking for an engaging read, this is not the book for you. All the wrong aspects of the story are drawn out and those that should be discussed in lively detail are rushed along in a paragraph or so. If you like novels that get to the point but do so in an intriguing, suspenseful or worthwhile manner, let Vicky Stringer's novel be the reason you find something else to read.

Rating:
Summary: Get this one!!
Review: This is a story that will make you think about why you do the things you do in life. It challenges your ethics and morals about chosing the game. It's a good read despite the typos. Ms. Stringer has written a book that is sure to make you think about your choices. The consequences are very well exposed for the readers. Get this book and learn the reasons.
