Rating:  Summary: Sistah Souljah gives it to ya raw Review: I have learned so much from this book, about my culture and me I mean I already knew that as an African American I have to be twice as smart and work twice as hard as the average white person, but reading sistah souljahs book I have learned so much more.
Rating:  Summary: A MUST READ! Review: SISTER SOULJAH KEPT IT REAL WITH THIS BOOK AND SHE IS AN AMAZING AUTHOR. SHE KNOWS HOW TO CAPTURE THE READERS ATTENTION. I ALSO RECOMMEND "COLDEST WINTER EVER". I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THAT BECOME A MOVIE.
Rating:  Summary: The Coldest Winter Ever Review: This is my first time reading anything By Sister Souljah and I must say that I was quite impressed with her novel. It felt so real and alot of things hit home with me on a personal level about how we view ourselves as African Ameicans and where our priorities lye. All of her characters where certainly people that I could relate too She kept it real and insightful she made you think about everything she wrote down. I think that I have just aquired another author that I will continue to read whatever she writes because she did such a damn good Job Word sistah Souljah keep doing what you are doing and I will keep buying.
Rating:  Summary: the best book ever Review: Sister Souljah's "The Coldest Winter Ever" is one of the best books that I have read in a while. The characters are so real, it's like you know them on a personal basis. Their is never a boring page, paragraph, or line. This book was OFF DA CHAIN!
Rating:  Summary: excellent so real just great for me Review: This book really did it for me my daughter said mom you read her other book you'll love this one it's more about her life. I said I really don"t want to read about her life. It's probaly boring.No the bomb i could not put it down I read it in two days every break I got at work had me picking up the book. now I wish everyone could read it. Starting with every black child in every ghetto anywhere. We all lived it no matter how you try and hide it. Maybe the parents need to pick it up they might learn something.
Rating:  Summary: BADDEST BOOK I'VE READ!!! Review: FIRST OF ALL LET ME START BY SAYING THIS WAS A VERY GOOD BOOK. I HIGHLY RECCOMEND THAT ALL TEENAGE GIRLS READ THIS BOOK. I FOUND IT TO BE VERY UPLIFTING, & LIKE EVERY DAY LIFE. MUST READ!!
Rating:  Summary: Strongly recommend Review: I couldn't put this book down when I read it. Sista is cut throat and straight to the point. Like the most dedicated rapper, she speaks her mind and she's not very concerned about offending those who might disagree with her. Though I don't share her views about homosexuality, I think this book, like Assata Shakur's "Assta" is very important work about cultural identity. I could relate strongly to Souljah's coming into a sense of her African self. We shared the same experiences of going to college and reading about African history, by Black authors. This experience helps to shape one's cultural identity and sense of African pride. I'm sure many people will find Souljah a little egotistical, but I'm also sure she was and remains a powerful roal model for many young people. I strongly recommend this work for high school and college classrooms.
Rating:  Summary: Better than others Review: If you have time to sit down and read "The Coldest Winter Ever" how could you not have time to read "No Disrespect?" This is a reallife survival book for the soul. Unlike "Winter" which is adapted from the streets and experience, "No Disrespect" is the actual written words of the experience. After this book, one will find that they will never disrespect another black female and you'll look at your life a little differently.
Rating:  Summary: filled with pissosity.... Review: i was walking around a bookstore and what caught my eye was the title of the book,..then the woman on the cover had a sense of mystery in her eyes. I started to read this and was cought up within the first few pages. As I read more aobut people; and the situations that anyone can find themselves in, it made me think of all the f...uped relationships that I have had in my life and all the lessons that were taught to me through those folks. that's what this book is about...learning and relearning life lessons,...the author seemed filled with pissosity throughout this book, though. It seemed to me that the author was blaming all these people in her life were to blame for failed relationships, and as I read the end of the book, still took no blame or shame with the part she played in those relationsips,..everyone lied to her about this or that, but she didn't accepet her own truths. Sister, like your syle of writing, though....
Rating:  Summary: The Beginning of Sight. Review: No Disrespect is a book that my sociology professor had assigned for the class to read. I must say that it is one of the best assignments that I had ever been given--mainly because it gave me a new pair of eyes. I can also relate to a lot of situations that Sister Souljah expressed in this book. For example, I too am angry when I come home from work and see the same guys standing or sitting in the exact same place as they were when I left for work. If one is blind to the harsh reality of life within the African-American community, this book will make one see.
