Synopsis

This program is read by the author.

A heartpounding, exhilarating audiobook based on the hot new movie from Nick Cannon.

King of the Dancehall is the coming of age story of Tarzan Brixton, a product of the harsh and merciless Brooklyn projects. After being released from a 5 year prison sentence for an armed robbery gone sideways, he makes a vow to his dying mother to change his ways. With his mother’s medical bills piling up, the temptation of the criminal life becomes too real once again. His solution is to escape the rough streets of New York for the equally ruthless beaches of Kingston, Jamaica. He soon creates a drug running empire while falling in love with a beautiful Jamaican woman named Maya. It’s through Maya that Tarzan becomes captivated by the music, dance, and lifestyle of Jamaican Dancehall culture, which ultimately lifts him towards the path of righteousness.

This book was ok. It just didn't do anything for me. Maybe I expected more from Mr. Cannon. This book fell flat. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the ARC of this book in return for my honest review.......more

Goodreads review by Mary

I won this book and I'm glad. It's fast paced, based on redemption of an individual. It's an interesting perspective of a black man moving from criminal behavior to spirituality. I highly recommend it.......more
