 Wow, Hit it on the money! Oct 02, 2005

How so true this fiction was. I still am in shock. I loved it. I couldn't put it down. From start to end it had me wanting more. A few minor mistakes but original writing and oh how truthfull it seemed to me. I can only imagine what Little Machos Revenge is going to be like. Im waiting. Brandon Cory. I'm impressed.

 Unintelligible... Jan 12, 2007
By Larissa Jade Mccoy
"DevotedNoMore"
Though I appreciate what the author was trying to achieve by writing this book, he seriously needed a copy editor. My students who are hardcore fans of the Reymundo Sanchez books were absolutely appalled by the poor grammar and spelling used in this book! As a matter of fact, many of them had a difficult time getting through the story because, as not-so-good readers, they could not get past the horrific way it was written. I just feel like a really good story got lost between misplaced commas and paragraphs that were never quite finished. I applaud the effort, but it just isn't good enough. :(

READING IT AGAIN! Oct 20, 2005
By Miguel Santos

I just finished Reading Sunset Park Latin King. Wow, Growing up in Brooklyn Sunset Park, I can tell you that I know exactly what King Macho was going through. I am a retired gang member, 5 years in a gang called the Assasinators and to be totally honest, Brandon Cory couldn't have told the story any better. I actually feel as if I knew King Macho. Great job. I am now a gang counselor and I recommending this book to all my kids!!!!!!

Bradon Cory - Latent writing ! Oct 06, 2005
By Danny Rodriquez

Young kids make so many fatuous decisions. Sunset Park LATIN KING should be read by many of them before they decide on becoming a member of a street group. I found my son reading this novel and I removed it from his possession thinking it would be a negative influence on him. After reading it, I came to the conclusion that he would benefit from reading it. Yesterday I ordered this novel for my nephew. Sunset Park Latin King has made my son awaken to the ramifications of getting involved in any street gang. Thank you Brandon Cory!

Lil Machos Revenge, I can't wait. Oct 20, 2005
By Keysean Mcneil
"Kay Kay"
My brothers life was taken by a 12 year old who was being initiated into the Bloods gang. My brother was a Crip member. Sunset Park Latin King is abviously about Latin Kings but the story is something that not many people realize is a story of everyday life for kids in the streets they call their home. Sunset Park Latin King, I applaud it and enjoyed it very much. Splendidly written.
