Pimp: The Story of My Life Audiobook

" Pimp by iceberg slim is offensive, crude, violent, disturbing, and one of the greatest books of all time. Iceberg slim is such a fantastic author he manages to make the pimp game sound Shakespearean. The reader of the audio book also deserves praise as his voice drags you into the slums right along with iceberg and sounds like one cool cat. Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic. "

" absolutely perfect. an education. "

" Brilliant. Once you get past the vernacular of the time, it's an unprecedented window into a world long gone. "

" well, goddamn!! "

" Dense and direct, worthy of reading again. Iceberg has done a lot with his life, lots of lessons to be learned by reading through his anecdotes and insights. "

" It was very raw and honest. Which is what I really liked about it. He was not apologizing for who he was or what he did. He just told it like it was. Very interesting.... "

" Well that was depressing. "

" Excellent book. A must read. "

" The glossery alone is worth the price of this paperback-it is a treasure trove of street lingo like it doesn't come anymore. "

" it really put me in the scene of the book and iceberg slim being a former pimp himself gives this book a lot of credibility - as a reader it placed me in a world I knew nothing about, but that exist - extremely interesting and a fast read - pretty graphic - Deb wouldn't like it "

" If my head were used as a masturbatory device I too would have a stable and one hell of a bottom girl. "

" A pimp's story as told by......a pimp. "

" When you're reading this book it's like that you're living the story... that you know every caracters...The sensation, the music, the atmosphere... Everything everything !!! "

" Got it!! its hella good "

" One of those rare novels I find about once a year, at my age. "

" Iceberg Slim is the king of the metaphor as well as king of the Pimps. "

" Not justifying the lifestyle, but this book gives a great insight to human psychology. "

" It's difficult to get into, rather inaccessible at times. But there are rare valuable insights tucked away it its pages. It did make me work extraordinarily hard to reach them. Not going through the final Glossary chapter before I started the book was a mistake. "

" useful resource were you to need some great new things to say to scare the hell out of someone. "

" What can I say? This is a masterpiece of self loathing, confessions of deeds and redemption. I loved it. Robert Beck is a genius in his writing style. No other urban noir writer has what he has--experience and raw talent in story telling "

" You know it's hard out here for a pimp. "

" I love his bookd "

" A raw and unbridled look into the life and role of a pimp. "

" i only gave this book a 9 when i first read it but it only grows in stature as i continue to think about it. "

" Provocative,disturbing,graphic and blunt. Iceberg Slim holds back nothing when he tells the story of his life as a Pimp.It is also a journey of redemption. "

" One of those books you just can't put down. Slim is such a naturally gifted writer that it's almost hard to believe it. While it's probably hyperbolic as all hell, it'll entertain you every which way nonetheless. Pimp hard, young blood. Pimp hard. "

" well now you know my nome de plume... "

" Grim portrait of a hustler's life. Does not glamorize the pimp game. The book is not for everyone. The content is often violent and sexually explicit. There are flickers of humor, but this is not a "happy" book. Glossary in the back is very funny. "

" Just read this on holiday in a day - pimptastic "
