I thought this book was excellent. I read No Disrespect back in 1995 and I was touched then. Souljah is so honest that the reality hits home in such a hard way that it can leave you mad. I felt as though I was actually living the book while reading it. I agree with the other reviews this needs to be a movie. There are so many talented actors and actresses that it would be a #1 hit. I look forward to here next novel. I hope that a lot f these young people read it and realize the truth.

The "Coldest Winter Ever" by Sister Souljah was indeed the best book I have ever read in my life. I am not a person who likes to read at all but this book is the bomb!!!!! It is so real.
I am sure everbody can relate to atleast one thing that happend in the book. Every page is action packed. It never gets dull it's all that and then some. Don't miss out - You have to read it!!!!!!!

I gave birth to my daughter in 1993. Before then I read all the time. Once I had her, I felt I no longer had time to read.I went on a very boring assignment and decided to take a book that my mother in law sent my husband almost 2 years before that was never read.
From that day my life has changed. I could not put the book down, and I told everyone that would listen about "the book". When I completed the read, I was thirsty for more. As a result I started a very fulfilling bookclub and I haven't stopped reading yet. Thank you Sister Souljah, for reuniting me with my first love, reading. WHERE IS YOUR WEBSITE SISTER, we are ALL waiting?!

The Coldest Winter Ever proved to the black community what can become of us if we don't all come together as family and uplift and empower each other. We always ask for someone to "keep it real" with us and Sister Souljah did just that.
It was also brilliant how Souljah wrote herself in to the book. You don't really that in novals the names are usually changed and situations are many time watered down. The book is the beast I have read in a very long time. I borrowed and read a friend of mines but I will be getting my own copy for my book case!!

I was touched by this book. i could not put it down. I am over 25, but i could relate to the problems and issues winter faced. i was surprised by the ending. I would like to see this book become a movie with powerful actors/actress alilk. Thnaks for the knowledge.

I really love reading The Coldest Winter Ever. At the end I really started to cry. As I was reading the book i would visualizy everything like it was a movie. I really think that Sister Souljah should make a movie out of this novel. I really believe it would open up people lives that have experince that life style Winter choice to live. Sister Souljah can really get young adult to read her books. My little sister is the one that told me to read the book and she is 13 years old. I give Sister souljah book four thumbs up. :-)
