Resumen del Editor

He set out to be the good son, but the streets had a different plan.

Born to one of New York City's most notorious crime families, Shai Clark has always managed to be a good kid. A college hoops star, Shai shunned the world that his father had created and focused on his dreams of going pro. Tommy, Shai's trigger-happy older brother, is next in line for the throne and rules under his father through brute force. But Poppa has bigger plans for Shai.

The situation soon turns ugly when Poppa is murdered and Tommy is removed from the equation. Suddenly Shai finds himself at the head of his father's empire, and the streets are thrown into chaos. Unable to sit idly by while the Clarks' underworld empire is pillaged, Shai takes up his father's mantle and brings his game to the streets. He quickly learns that there are two sides to every coin, and the streets hold no mercy for the weak.

Great Storyline!

I loved this. Very exciting, and stayed on the edge of my seat!

I will definitely recommend!

well written book❤️🖤💚

the reader was the boom, at first I was prejudiced because it was a woman but she did an amazing job.

Good story but…

Normally Honey Jones is on point but the narration was a little off. The story was good, had me wishing Papa hadn’t died and Tommy would listen to ANYONE. Looking forward to the next edition.

all in all great listen

all in all great listen and great story long however at some points the story was hard to follow thus one really makes you listen and follow along cause will get confused 😕 like wait we was just talking about them now we back to her lol 😆 but still all in all I really enjoyed this look in to how Shy Clark came in to himself and the power to take over the family business YEEEESSSSSSS 😀

the family business

Would you listen to Hoodlum again? Why?

yes; the complex of the characters such a Shai and Poppa Clark

What other book might you compare Hoodlum to and why?

You can see the similarities with such books as the Godfather's

Which scene was your favorite?

The ending in which Mike gets what is coming to him.

Who was the most memorable character of Hoodlum and why?

Shai Clark because of the way he handles most situations

Love it love it

He stories are amazing a must read now I am on to part 2 let’s go

Ugh!!

I enjoy listening to Kwan books I did not like the way she read the book. She didn’t put any feeling behind the book and it was hard to listen to. She read the book slowly and I often found myself having to rewind parts of it to listen to it over. You can’t tell when there are different people talking so parts of it gets confusing. You can’t tell when the settings shift or the people talking change. The book was good but this was long and drawn out. I would say buy the book and read it on your own.

Ehhh

if you are thinking of reading animal read this this. The narrator bless her heart this was not for her. The first 15 chapters were BORING I had to stop and come back but overall the book was OKAY

Great story, but...

It's a great story. Very entertaining, however it seems clear that Ms Jones hadn't read the story before recording. Mispronounced dagos, Mac 11's, and 357's aside, it just didn't flow. She constantly stop/starts during sentences. I see she has narrated many books, so perhaps this was a one off. Either way, it didn't work.
