Book Overview
The Diamond District, written with debut author Derrick Pledger, is about a diamond robbery that goes wrong. D.J.'s got an Ivy League diploma, the sexiest girl in the city, and the five best friends a dude could want. What he doesn't have is cash. When his boy, Dre, steals some ice from a thug after a fight, D.J. comes up with a get-rich-quick scheme worth thousands of dollars. But in this high-stakes game, you don't lie, cheat, and steal without paying the price, and after staring down the barrel of a handgun, D.J. learns a life lesson that college didn't teach him. Now which will he choose--the straight and narrow or the streets?

This book was a good read. DJ a college grad, turn to the street for fast money.... Leave that fast money alone and work for what you want in life. Great read.

I would most definitely recommend this book to someone else, in fact I already have. I feel that the author did a grat job of brining the character to life. A character that many people can relate to. This book appeals to those who love to read as well as those who have never picked up a book before. It tells the tale of a struggle that many young people are faced with today. I enjoyed reading it. I felt like I was a part of their lives and I knew each individual personally. I embraced them as a part of my circle so I was not surprised when I cried and laughed the same times they did.
AWESOME!!!!

I read this book and realized it's a very real-life rendition of a serious of events. Through in a little bit of humor here and there and it is definitely entertaining and piques one's interest.
