Description

New York Times bestselling author Life After Death, the hip-hop generation's beloved and most compelling storyteller, delivers a powerful story about love and loyalty, strength and family. 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. 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. Raised in a wealthy, influential, Islamic African family, Midnight enjoys a life of comfort, confidence, and protection. 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. So when Midnight's father's empire is attacked, he sends Midnight with his mother to the United States. 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. Midnight, a handsome and passionate young man, attracts many women. How he interacts and deals with them is a unique adventure. 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. Midnight will remain in your mind and beat in your heart for a lifetime. Her "raw and true voice" (Publishers Weekly) will both soothe and arouse you. 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. Read more

    • Unenjoyable is an understatement
I’ve gotten halfway through this book and am returning it. This book is complete trash. It’s a slow drag of a story with no true climax or reason. It’s also hard to digest that a 14 year old boy is so gifted in all areas of life. I grew up in the hood, and the stereotypes of young black women growing up in the hood are disgusting. The book never states what happened to Midnight’s father.This book does not have one saving grace. This book does not hold a candle to TCWE. ... show more

    • Amazing background about Midnight!
After reading TCWE, I fell in love with Sister Soulja’s writing. I read this book years after reading TCWE and still was fascinated by it and could not put it down. I finished this book in a week and am ready for the next. The way she writes in the shoes of this young boy it’s as if she is really him. The knowledge of the Muslim faith and Ninjitsu and all of these cultures amazes me. The use of different languages and communication throughout the novel is beautifully done. Although Midnight is very judgemental when it comes to American culture, I think it is important to include that because those are true thoughts and makes you think about your own culture and actions as well as others. Sister is speaking from Midnight’s perspective and telling his story. Of course if he comes from another country he is gonna be shocked by how the people are in America. I know I would. Overall, I found the novel to be genius and really made me think about life and also motivated me. This young boy did so much for his family and held so many responsibilities. It made me want to do more and not take anything for granted. I highly recommend this to fans of Sister Soulja’s work! ... show more

    • Unexpected interest
Not being the biggest fan of Souljah, I had no expectations when I opened this book. If you read the coldest winter ever you’d begin this book with expectations of TCWE continuing but that’s not the he case....... this book was good in the sense that it takes you to the beginning of midnights existence so you can see how his personality was cultivated. As his Tory is told you forget his age which is very young in this book but his experiences were that of an adult the writing is great , detailed and articulate I can’t wait to get to the next book, don’t take my word read for ur self . Happy reading ... show more

    • A coming of age for a boy coming to America
All through this novel I had to remind myself l, he is only 14. A young man without a father in America... In NEW YORK... At 7 with only the memory of what a man is supposed to be. To have to model himself on his father's footsteps to help his mom and young sister. He took on A LOT. At 14 he did ALOT. Then I had to remember this is a fictitional urban street story about a young man who is able to broker deals on behalf of his mother while he is 7 to 14 years old. I mean this 7 year old boy was beating up kids twice his age, walkinging his mom safely to work, getting guns, mastering karate... All kinds of stuff. It's fiction. BUT art mimics reality. Cultures outside of America train their children for war at early ages. Discipline them in arts and other languages at early ages. Midnight is a fictitional character but his discipline for his religion, his work, and his ethics is not unreal. It's just foreign to Americans. Once I accepted my facts I was able to enjoy this book. Yes his critique of American culture and American women... Mostly African American women is harsh but he's 14 missing his father and being forced to navigate New York with only is Quran and his ideology of what is right. HOWEVER... I will say, some of the things he questioned about American culture was spot on and I respected the opinion. It didn't bother me that he had strong opinions. It actually made me question some of the culture we have accepted. Overall a great read. I will say Midnight does have sex in this book as a 14 year old. I'm against talking about sex when it comes to minors. I can't read that part so I skipped it. ... show more

    • Don't bother.
This is the second time I have returned a book written by this author. This is no TCWE. Nor, was is expected to be. However, there is no indication of the Midnight that we knew and loved from TCWE. I get that it serves as a prequel, but we get no history or insight to how he became the Midnight that we were introduced too in the first place. Additionally, the descriptions of black women are horrible in this book. If you didn't know any better, you would think that ALL black women are loose, immorally bankrupt, living in the ghettos in NYC with no goals or hopes or dreams; or the wherewithal to accomplish those goals or hopes or dreams. According to this book, if you are not an African Muslim woman (or Japanese), your value is in the negative. And this seems to be a reoccurring theme in Ms. Souljah's books. Another thing about this book: You forget that you are reading about a 14 year old. Midnight is able to run a household and is also mature enough to get married and support a family. All because he is from Sudan and was not born in the US? Huh... If you are looking for the Midnight from TCWE and an understanding of the character that you was first introduced to, you will not find it. ... show more
