Chiraq Killinois: America's Nightmare is the first novel I've read by either of these authors.Although, this was a short story, it had just enough detail and action that gave it the same affect of reading a full novel.The characters were well developed and each played a significant role that added to the overall storyline.Chiraq: Killinois, tell its readers a tale of the city, known by many as Chi-Town or The windy City.The storyline gives us a glimpse inside the violent, gang filled streets of Chicago.We first meet Byron, a young man growing up in a world filled with chaos, gun fire and a body-count that increases by the dozen.When Byron faces the challenge of having to choose to become a man and a father, or continue to run wild in the streets, his crew of friends who all run with a gang known as The Murda Gang, won't be so easily willing to let him have his way.Jermarkus is one who'll use any and every reason to make his gun clap, his evil ways and demonic demeanor is enough to put fear in a brave man's heart.What happens when you're young and make the decision to become family with one of the most ruthless gangs in Chi-Town and suddenly realize it's not the life you wanna live?Will you be allowed and given a pass to just walk away or will you forever be bound by color?Welcome to Chiraq........America's Nightmare!!!!This novel was good from beginning to end and gave a lot of insight on actual gang life; at the same time it also tells a tale that let's us know people can change, but it's up to US as a whole to inspire the ones we love the most.5 stars for me; job well done!
