"I could not put this book down. Growing up in Detroit, I have become fascinated with truly understanding the Detroit Uprising of 1967. This book includes names of places I know. If you are from Detroit, I recommend this author's first novel." — Debra (4 out of 5 stars)

" My aunt wrote it! "
" I thought this book was great! Especially for getting it as a freebie through amazon.com deals. I would recommend this book! "
" Melodramatic and predictable - this would make a good Lifetime movie. "
" This was a very easy book to read; yet it had a few twist and turns. I would recommend this book but give a disclaimer to people who have been victimized. It can be upsetting if one is still in a fragile state. "
" This was a good book. It was kinds cool how one incident can affect a whole group of people's lives. "
" Completely lousy. "
" This book was ok. Forgettable and rather bleak throughout. "
" I believe that this was a good book but it could have been much shorter. I felt like it took forever to tell the actual story. There were too many things over explained that didn't need to even be brought up. I did enjoy the read though. "
" Unfortunately, the story was dull and predictable and the characters unlike able. One of the few books I couldn't finish, I'm regretting the hours I spent giving it a shot. "
" A good, quick read, but a bit unbelievable. I enjoyed the book for the mystery, but especially for the 'history' surrounding Detroit during the riots. "
" In my opinion, there was too much foul language for me to enjoy it as much as previous books, but overall, it was an excellent book "
