Rating:  Summary: PUSH WAS INTENSE Review: This book was so intense that at times I had to put it down. It actually had my heart going pitter patter.Relentless gives us a fictionalized story with well researched facts.One reference I will give you from the book but then you have to buy your own. Relentess refers to the now Harlem as the Disney world of the ghetto. Just having shopped there last month this author is on target. There are plenty of other well researched topics as well.This book read like a movie it was just phenomenol. If you like my alltime favorite author Gloria Mallette, Then you will love Relentess. He has this way with his storyline that leaves you not wanting to pick up another book right away. Because you want to still remain on his ride. This was a wonderful book that was well written. I didn't catch any errors. Beautiful Job!!!!!!!! I know there better be a PUSH2 Because I am waiting.............

Rating:  Summary: An exciting adventure Review: When money, sex, and violence converge, you have PUSH by Relentless Aaron. Reginald "Push" Jackson is a black man living in Harlem, determined to make a better life for himself, his sister, and nephew. Spending the better part of his younger years in prison, he's come back to the streets of Harlem with a mission, never to return to prison again. In spite of this, he also plans to avenge the death of his parents who were brutally murdered when he was a child. Push will stop at nothing to get what he wants, even if it means taking the risk of getting caught. When politics come into the picture and millions of dollars are available for the taking, the story starts heating up and it doesn't stop until the very last page. Push is one brotha you don't want to mess with. Reminiscent of movies such as Dead Presidents and Sugar Hill, PUSH is an exciting adventure into the street life of Harlem. The book is real, raw, in-your-face, and graphic! Relentless Aaron manages to capture the reader and take them on a full-fledged journey into the reality of Push's world. Although it started slow for me, the book turned out suspenseful, engaging, and read as vividly as if I was watching a movie. In spite of this, the numerous typos, grammatical errors, and structure of the book severely took away from the story. There are also scenes in the book I felt were too graphic and too demeaning to women, yet I do understand the need to use them to complement the lifestyles and images portrayed, thus fully developing the characters. Relentless Aaron has a certain style that seeps through the aforementioned problems and I'm sure readers of street fiction and true crime stories will enjoy his books. He's an author I'll definitely be watching. I only hope that readers do not become consumed with the crimes committed and the end result for Push. Reviewed by Tee C. Royal of The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers
