Customer Reviews

A great read from start to finish.
"Interview With Soldier Danny" is an eye-opening look at the life of one of the original "Yardie" that set the foundation for Jamaican Rude Bwoys here in America. Its a compelling story which shows the transformation of "Soldier Danny" from a bwoy in the ghettos of Kingston to the streets of Brooklyn, Bronx and Manhattan. The book shows what happens when potential is wasted and hanging with the wrong crowd influences your action much to your detriment. It also tells of redemption and making that "Uth Turn" in your life.

This book is an absolute joy to read and you will find yourself turning the pages with such eagerness to see what happens next. It will make you laugh, cry and reflect on your own life. "Interview With Soldier Danny" is inspirational, the Philosophy that permeates the pages will leave you in awe of "Soldier Danny's" intelligence and mental resolve.

The Cycle is broken...
The Story Isn't Over... the book was self grandized and embellished to put it lightly... Fiction and fantasy entwined with puffery... Where is the "Soldier" now.... MIA? Where is the "Man" that did the "Uth Turn" with his life?... Where is the gratification for those that enabled him to even see the light from the darkness and have the opportunity to write this book?

The truth is this book was only an introduction to the beginning of the cycle that started with Soldier, yet was broken by the true untold Dons and Donnesses.... The cycle is broken and the truth will be lived and experienced through this generation and those that are yet to come... No need for self publication of what we know to be the living truth that travels deep within... External acknowledgment is unnecessary since we are lifted and sustained by our own self esteem...

The humble man is wise in knowledge while he who speaks without regard to the content or context of his words know nothing. Only a fool believes his own lies, yet only a wise man is strong enough to accept the humility of his own short comings....

Namaste

Interview with Soldier Danny
Indeed reading this book is like watching a movie, however, this is real life not fiction. Interview with Soldier Danny should make the youths of today think twice before they get involved in gangs, drugs, murder and going to prison. This book is an education not just to youths but to all who have tried and failed. You can get up again! No matter how far you have fallen, Soldier Danny shows that one can persevere even after 20 years of hard labor in prison. This book tells you how you can start life over. It is unfortunate that Soldier Danny had to endure such hardship. Yet during his struggle the Lord has never left him. We are talking about the original "Don" who got shot in his head twice and lived. A man who decided that murder and gangs is for losers. A man who looked to God for guidance and made it through. I recommend this book to all brothers and sisters throughout the world, ESPECIALLY JAMAICANS. This is the most provocative, exciting, riveting, life changing book I have read this year. This is THE BOOK OF THE YEAR!
