Overview

In this, his fourth novel, Goines tests the tensile strength of a ghetto spawn who clawed his way to the top and fights like hell to stay there. He's known as "Earl the Black Pearl," and he's left the homeboys behind—way behind. He's cool, sharp as an ice crystal, and it seems that no one can touch him. Until someone even higher up puts the heat on and his friends begin dropping like flies—of lead poisoning. That's when Earl fights back...and all hell breaks loose!

    Old School

    Great Reading to Kill some down time. I used to read Donald Goines Books 20 years ago. I read Street Players on a 16 Hour Amtrak ride coming back from Miami. Its a good Old School Urban Pimp Story.

    1 Of The Best

    This was another great book. I enjoyed reading this book, it made me think I was apart of the story. I read it in 1 day. Even though Earl was cold-hearted, it would have been nice to see him come back on top. This book revealed the secrets of the streets. Wannabe pimps can learn something.

    EXPLOSIVE AND 1 OF THE BEST

    I REALLY ENJOYED THIS BOOK, I READ THIS BOOK IN A DAY! THIS BOOK OPENED YOU UP TO THE STREETS AND HOW THE GAME WORKS. I REALLY WANTED EARL TO COME BACK UP, BUT ONCE ON TOP ITS HARD TO GET BACK THERE! AT THE END I WANTED MORE AND I GOT A LITTLE EMOTIONAL. PEOPLE HAVE TO REALIZE WHEN YOU PLAY HARD, YOU FALL HARD. CANT ALWAYS LIVE LAVISHLY ILLEGAL.

    A Tragic End to A Tragic Story

    This is a story that leaves you dying for more.Although Earl is wrong I kind of wanted to see him rise up again. But all good things must come to an end.I found myself on the edge of my seat with anticipation and unwilling to put the book down.
