First and foremost I have to say that the author Wallace St.Clair had me from the start when I read the prologue where embedded within was the word "quagmire." That in itself peaked my curiosity to want to explore his word game and purchase the book, no matter the cost. Now did he disappoint? Not at all; greatly impressed was I with the variety of words implemented to give this compelling story that extra added flavor. I also have to give kudos for his ability to toggle back and forth between the caliber of words yet keep the story mesmerizing. The delivery of his words put me front and center in Da Point as well as gave me that bird's eye view into the mind and world of Sasha. Her journey from childhood to young adult was marred with such injustices, that I wanted to find out her whereabouts and bring her home to stay with me. The style...the cadence of the writing pulled me into the very understanding of the "junkie love" and that "junkie life" and why it is they do, what it is that they do. I made a connection with Saint, Honey-Dee, Brianna...the whole lot; so much so that I wanted to put down my sorrows and go start a grass root program... JunkieHoRetribution.org - So Abuela, Deacon Suarez and you too Rusty...watch out...I'm comin for ya...cause you ain't had to do that...ain't had to do that at all. Can't believe you took Sasha thru like that...naaww...Not My Baby Girl !!
