Kenyattas Escape

Summary: Escape the dream enter Kenyattas reality
Review: Another slamming book from Donald Goines that displays his wonderful and great storytelling. He gives his readers characters that they can relate with and who they love. Readers can relate with these characters, even the ones that they hate - the dope pushers, the crooked cops, and the racism that permeates law enforcement. This is a great trip with Kenyatta, and the black/white cops that are tracking him. I loved it.

Summary: Pattern Failed
Review: Before, I was liking every other book that I read by Donald Goines and I thought this one was going to follow the same pattern. I started off loving it with the hijacking, but then the farmhouse scene was boring. Then the motorcyle ranch and Carol were extremely interesting, but then once that was done, I was bored again. On top of that, there were too many questions left unanswered. I was pretty disappointed with this one but I'm still going to finish reading his collection.

Summary: Escape the dream enter Kenyattas reality
Review: The story Kenyattas Escape by Donald Goines I would have to say is going down as one of the best books I have ever read. The story was not only exciting but also very intriguing. I'd have to say that this story is up to caliber with others written by Donald Goines such as El Dorado Red and Black Girl Lost (which happen to be two of my favorites). Although I haven't read Kenyattas previous adventure, I wasn't thrown off or given a feeling that I missed anything. This story is a whole new adventure in itself and I can say proudly that it's a great one.

Kenyattas Escape continuously had me wanting to know what would happen next. Kenyatta was pretty much my favorite character because of his leadership skills and determination. Kenyatta would never give up his dream of getting rid of the drug infestation destroying his people. Kenyatta, being a strong black man all about his people, does whatever he has to do in order to get results. This includes hi-jacking planes and of course lots of gunplay. This book is definitely not shy about the use of guns. Although guns are used in the book I like the role they play. To me Kenyatta saw it necessary to result to guns because it's the only way left to gain power, respect and make a change. He seems to be the Jomo Kenyatta of his time.

The story doesn't only focus on Kenyatta and his adventure but also on discrimination based on race in the police forces at this time. This is another aspect of the story that I enjoyed. The story relates to real life events. Although the book is completely fictional it seems as if it were based on a real life occurrence. The book is very realistic and it is very easy to relate to the characters.

Kenyattas Escape is a very good book, which was well written with great plot development. I would recommend this book to everyone. I guarantee you won't be able to put this book down. If you have read any other stories by Donald Goines and liked them this one will not disappoint you.

Summary: Another turn in the tale of Kenyatta
Review: This is number 3 in the Kenyatta series. It starts off action-packed with a hi-jacking of an airplane, but then sort of dies down in the middle of the story. It picks up speed again later on, and towards the end, it keeps you guessing. It's a little different because Goines usually keeps his stories in the 'hood, but in this series, he has found himself branching out and having Kenyatta and his people going all over the country. Can't wait to read the finale.

Summary: better and better
Review: this is yet another great book by the world's best aurthor.kenyatta's getting into hot water with the law so he's heading out,but mostly all of his soildiers left behind on the farm he owned got killed by the pigs and not to mention they brought in the army.This book is very violent and realistic but thats what happened in the ghettos and still happening. so if you are scared to view the real life cruel streets for yourself pick up some of donald goiens books because you always venture off into the darkest places in the slums.
