Publisher's summary

This collection of six gritty tales from the underground is a tribute to the streets and those forced to try to survive them.

With tales of slick con men, revenge, a heist gone awry, and more, Robert Beck, the man many know as Iceberg Slim, brings us on a ride through the terrifying urban streets. With the same unforgettable and distinctive prose on display in his other books, Airtight Willie & Me is further evidence that Iceberg Slim was an expert at capturing the language of the streets. Always compelling, sometimes funny, and often bleak, Slim gives us six slices of city life that will leave you thirsting for more.

Surprising

Surprising! This book was a bit of different stories. They were ok but the last one surprised me. I enjoyed the book.

I love all Iceberg Slim literary works.

Slim is truly an unsung genius. He so eloquently depicts the pitfalls and triumphs of the hazardous underworld!
The narrator Cary Hite should also be nominated for some kind of Audible award. His intonation, enunciation, and lucid delivery will keep you at the edge of your seat. Great experience!

The streets don't love you...

Yet sadly many folks love the streets it seems. Iceberg continues with more gritty drama and a streetacular synopsis of lives only known by those that live it.

Tales from the Hood before tales from the hood

Each tale is vivid and awesome. It could easily be made into a creepshow type movie

Okay

I gave this three stars as it was kind of middle of the road for me. Prior to this book, I'd just finished Iceberg Slim's "The Naked Soul of Iceberg Slim" which was amazing & seemed to mention his book "Pimp" a number of times; making me think I'll give it a try. This is alright though, just not up to the high standards of "The Naked Soul of Iceberg Slim."
