Review: A Piece Of Cake is a marvelous book that doesn't hold back on relaying a series of events too rough to believe. The unique style of Brown's writing is what makes the text so easy to relate to. It's like listening to a close friend retelling a story without ever sparing a detail. The fact that the book is so revealing makes it difficult to put down. I would recommend this book to anyone who can handle the subject matter.
When the book opens it's just a simple family tale, but then the story changes drastically in a span of 10 pages. Then the story continues winding through abuse, drugs, and drinking all before our main character even turns 12 years old. From there the story continues through gangs, violence, crimes, and more substance abuse. While reading the book it's easy to get lost in the story but when it's put into perspective that this is someone's real life and everything was actually lived makes it so moving.
I'd recommend this book everyone who is able to handle the subject matter of this book. Brown makes a heart wrenching book that still has the ability to make you laugh and relate. Through all of the darkness some how hope and love shine through keeping the reader holding on to see just how Cupcake makes it out of these situations. Once the book is started the reader won't be able to put the book down. I loved every minute of this story and I loved it even more knowing that it was a true story of over coming everything.
From reading your review I'm very interested in reading this book because because it seams like a very harsh but interesting book
