Critics Review
-
“Criminal Minded is, hands down, the best book I’ve read in a long time. Tracy Brown has created a masterpiece…a banging story line.”
K’wan, award-winning author of Eviction Notice and Animal
-
“Tracy Brown is back with a vengeance! Criminal Minded is a must read, can’t-put-down smash hit!”
Keisha Ervin, Essence bestselling author of Me & My Boyfriend
-
“[A] fast-paced tale…a page-turner. Each character’s perspective illuminates the misguided decisions the others make. However, despite their bad choices, readers will root for them. The language and situations are occasionally explicit, but also perfectly in character for these Staten Island young adults. While some of the story lines are pulled from a variety of rap videos and rapper bios, the plot also has unique twists that will keep readers going. Urban fiction is hotter than ever with teens of both sexes, and this is a strong entry in the genre.”
