Very informative great book overall

This book takes you out of the comfort of your home and into the streets of Harlem and the Bronx during the 80s. Unless you are a NYC native, you may not understand the struggle of the residents and youth during this time. David Collins helps to bring you into their world to understand that to make a living, when legal jobs and opportunities were few for African American youth, hard choices were made. No More Harlem shows how peer pressure and the vibe in the street can pull you into a life that you never expected to live. Take a break from your daily life and dive into this unbelievable world of crime and drugs. Open your mind and see the world from a different perspective. You won't be dissapointed.

Great read! I couldn't put the book down. Finished it in one day!😊

Very good book, David was able to paint such vivid images with his words. I would have loved to hear more about the aftermath of the demise of the Preacher Crew, how did affect the street, how did everyone react to finding out all the things they were involved in? Great book!

To read the whole story.

I watched the c11 documentary on Preacher randomly last year so when David wrote this book I knew I had to get it. I slacked but when I got it, I couldnt put it down. Finished the entire book in 3 days, fastest Ive ever read a book in my life. This needs to be turned into a movie. Great book.

Mindblowing!!! Two decades later I walked those streets that have no traces of the menace in the story. Hell of a history. Hell of a book.
