Summary: 3 Stars
I've never seen The Wire so, I'm not familiar with Snoop or her work on the show. Her memoir, however, was recommended to me by a couple of people so I figured I'd give it a read. This is a very easy read that you can finish in one sitting if you have the time. Snoop talks about her upbringing and her life on the streets in Baltimore, her time in the world of narcotics, her jail stints, and her unlikely road to stardom which results from her being sighted in a neighborhood bar. There's nothing deep here, no hidden meanings that you have to figure out or something that will come to you long after you've finished the book, just Snoop talking about her life experiences as if you and she were sitting on a park bench shooting the breeze.
