Book Reviews of Rosebudd the American Pimp
Book Review: 4 1/2 stars
Summary: 5 Stars
So there won't be any confusion, I'm reviewing the new (full text) edition of the book. Disregard the negative reviews up until the publication of this latest edition. The older edition book was broken up into short pamphlets which ticked off a lot of Amazon customers who thought they were getting the full text.
Having read just about every pimp author out there, I can say Rosebudd writing stands firm against such classics as PIMP by Iceberg Slim or Whoreson by Donald Goines. I personally think he even outshines his contemporary Jimi Starr in writing style. What's even cooler is how you can read in Rosebudd's book about a situation that took place where Rosebudd gets "knocked" by Jimi Starr. It's interesting because Jimi Starr writes about this situation in his book also, thus the reader of both books gets a unique prospective on the situation. And as you may have guessed since it was Rosebudd who got "knocked" he obviously had a lot more to say about the situation. It's funny because Jimi Starr's viewed Rosebudd as a married man who prostituted his wife(s), while Rosebudd mentioned Jimi Starr a lot more with a lot more respect.
Good read.
(p.s) Rosebudd, I hope you do publish the other book you mention, "Letters to a Pimp"
Summary of Rosebudd the American Pimp
The book Rosebudd the American Pimp is about the choices one has to make in order to go to the highest plateau in that lifestyle. Rosebudd did all that was in his power to become a legend. His day to day activities and mental savvy and toughness is displayed throughout the book. His book is not a book on how to become a pimp, but rather a book on how not to be a brutal, uncaring person and still receive the rewards of being one of the best pimps there ever was. In his book he has listed the 27 rules to becoming a master at this game. If you pick this book up, you will not put it down until you are completed. You must be cautious with this material, because you will be handling dope.Memoirs Books
