I am not sure how this book has bad reviews. Bobby Hall is a rapper (and damn son is he good). This book was written like you would expect a rapper to write it, so you need to go into it remembering this fact. Overall the story was intriguing, and surprising. I applaud him for writing something completely out of the box, with an ending I did not expect. To this day I still think about the end and go back and forth about what I think the true conclusion to the story was. That’s the beauty of this novel, it’s for the reader to interpret on their own. Pure genius. I will recommend to any reading addicts. Pair this one with a beer!
So bad. Couldn’t get past 20 pages. I couldn’t stop wondering how no one edited this book. The dialogue is so weird and has no natural flow to it. I came to Goodreads to see if others hated it too and to my surprise it was written by Logic. I had no idea! Maybe that explains why it was allowed to be published.

I'd never heard of Logic before picking up this book. It feels preachy in places, but generally this is a weird tale trying to present the world from a twisted perspective -- and it's actually pretty good.
A stunning debut! Hall breaks the fourth wall, and accurately depicts the unreliable narrator's struggle for truth. The blurring between reality and insanity is well done--an engaging read.
Okay so if the comparison to Fight Club on the back of the book didn’t clue me in enough as to what was going to happen In this book, naming the editor Ed Norton certainly helped me put the pieces in place. This book would have been a lot better if he wasn’t “diagnosed” with multiple personality disorder (which is no longer a recognised term because it’s clawless DID and also can’t be caused by a nervous breakdown as it can only be caused when the person is put through extreme trauma as a child under 7-9 I forget the exact age). It was interesting however. I liked the way it was written, even if some of it was a bit unnecessary. If it had been better researched and had a slightly more accurate portrayal of mental disorders it would have had a higher rating.
The writing tried too hard to be clever that it ended up being just bad. I officially stopped at the first mention of a stereotype of a Black woman.
