Wavered really hard on how to rate this book, what I wanted to say and how I felt about it.I must say I found myself reading it but not really enjoying it-Honestly I found myself annoyed and appalled at the stereotypes, the cultural and religious bias, the arrogance and unbelivable aspect of the main character: the oh so worldly and mature 'Midnight' and the lack of positive African Americans throughout the entire novel.I too claim roots in New York, not Brooklyn but close enough to major activity to know that there are success stories not statistics coming out of these places but you would never know that from this book.It is embarrassing and disgusting- the portrayal of Americans and blacks in general in this book is outrageous and so let me digress and get into the plot.young Midnight and his incomparable mother (believe me I say that because every description of her is designed to enforce her superiority over every woman not born in Sudan) are relocated for some vague reason to America to start their life there. In a beautifully written and masterfully woven story, Sister Souljah has given us Midnight, and solidified her presence as the mother of all contemporary urban literature. Her 'raw and true voice' ( Publishers Weekly) will both soothe and arouse you. Midnight will remain in your mind and beat in your heart for a lifetime.

This is a highly sensual and tremendous love story about what a man is willing to risk and give to the women he loves most. How he interacts and deals with them is a unique adventure. Midnight, a handsome and passionate young man, attracts many women. In the streets of Brooklyn, a young Midnight uses his Islamic mind-set and African intelligence to protect the ones he loves, build a business, reclaim his wealth and status, and remain true to his beliefs. So when Midnight's father's empire is attacked, he sends Midnight with his mother to the United States. Midnight's father provides him with a veil of privilege and deep, devoted love, but he never hides the truth about the fierce challenges of the world outside of his estate.

Raised in a wealthy, influential, Islamic African family, Midnight enjoys a life of comfort, confidence, and protection. Now, in a highly anticipated follow-up to her million-selling masterpiece, she brings readers into the life and dangerously close to the heart of this silent, fearless young man. In her bestselling novel, The Coldest Winter Ever, Sister Souljah introduced the world to Midnight, a brave but humble lieutenant to a prominent underworld businessman.

Sister Souljah, the hip-hop generation's number one author and most compelling storyteller, delivers a powerful story about love and loyalty, strength and family.
