I read this book for my book club and I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised by it. The characters are unique and a reader will be able to relate to at least one of the characters.

I feel like just about anyone will find something in this book. With so many generations it will appeal to traditionalists, baby boomers, millennials and everyone inbetween. I really appreciated how the character's stories opened up and became more. Everything flowed very well.

Ultimately, I liked this book and would recommend it to anyone looking for a coming of age story with a unique cultural blend to it.

The U.Ks answer to the Friday franchise
Meet Kenneth, a deluded wannabe MC who quits his supermarket job to pursue a career in rap. Not the sharpest of people, kay (Kenneth), his boys and newcomer Enrique smoke, chill and stumble through life, until kay see's big Mike, the local kingpin making it big, and decides he wants more in life, with his parents struggling to pay bills, locals becoming a nuisance and Tyrone, one of big Mike's lower level goons, who torments everyone and considers himself a ladies man, who kay ends up on the wrong side of.

This is a great British coming of age gangsta wannabe movie features some brilliant acting, great characters and light hearted tone, recommend a watch.
