Ah, where to start.

First of all, I started to read this book because I was very amused with the title and the cover photo as well.

This book starts off on a very ratchet note. It describes Fredquisha's toxic relationship with her daughter, Myyah. Fredquisha is a really annoying character. She's one of those characters that you'd want to smack on the face with a pan. She's an ultimate thot, and could care less for her daughter. She physically and emotionally abuses her. A lot of references were m

Ah, where to start.

First of all, I started to read this book because I was very amused with the title and the cover photo as well.

I was expecting this book to be ratchet as hell, but as I read about Austin, Myyah's father, his bad relationship with his baby momma Fredquisha, and how he feels about him being in prison, I felt sympathetic on his behalf. His mother, Delores, a.k.a. Mrs. Watkins, also tries to help her son out with Myyah. Both of them struggle to save Myyah from that crazy ass bitch, Fredquisha. Austin's younger brother is present in the story, but he's more of a background character.

I thought this book was going to only be about a crazy ass bitch with roaches in her crib, but it ended up also being about a man's struggle with getting custody of his daughter (which we know is a common issue, especially since most of the time full custody is granted to the mother).

You'll probably laugh and feel amused at Fredquisha's thot adventures, but you'll also feel sympathetic for Austin and Maya, as Austin is in a detention centre and barely gets to see his daughter while Maya gets abused a lot.

Also, just wanted to say that roaches are a re-occurring theme in this book as it's frequently mentioned. Not a metaphor for anything though. The author means literal roaches. I have to say, the way the author describes things in this book is very unique and very entertaining, I couldn't help myself from smiling as I read it. The roach was described to have "Wings (that) were so long and thick, that muhfuckin' roach was offering first class tickets to fly other critters to Dubai and shit." This book also contained a lot of words I haven't heard of before (it's alright though as the author explained what the slang words meant.) The book is also narrated from a third person perspective, and the way it's narrated is very entertaining and amusing. However, I feel that some of the characters were quite flat, like Jonah. I felt like his presence didn't really affect the storyline of the book. And some parts, the book felt a bit flat and a bit rushed.

Overall, the story in this book is pretty incomplete. Like, incomplete as in you gotta buy the next book to figure out what the hell happens because the ending was not what I was expecting to happen. Anyways, I enjoyed the book and I will be reading the next one.

Nope. I tried, but no. Lol. I refuse to keep reading this. The author is doing too much and not enough at the same time. **DID NOT FINISH**

Trigger warnings: child abuse, bad hygiene descriptions, graphic sex, drug and alcohol use and abuse, vehicular accidents, death of loved ones, gang violence, graphic description of violence, fat shaming, slut shaming.

How do I review and rate this???????????

In clinical terms I'm going to say this book needed a lot editing. Lots of typos, inconsistencies, grammar errors etc. It's evident this was self published and therefore didn't get enough of an external perspective on proof reads. On the plus side, the author knows how to Write yo. One of the most shocking and vivid sentences I have ever come across is "It was the fragrance of abject squalor and ratchetry." That paints a VIVID image and it's so seamlessly put together? There's a blend of Chicago AAVE and Charles Dickens level descriptiveness so artfully done I'm just...What am I reading!!!!!! Holy shit!!!!!!!!

Tackling the actual content is a little harder. The book is about an abusive mother and how governmental systems are decidedly against supporting incarcerated parents despite the one not in prison being worse for the kids. It ties in race dynamics, police brutality, Chicago South Side community politics, the shitty government system that does nothing with efficiency especially when it comes to black people and black youth, and so much more. It's a whole lot packed in this tiny ebook and I'm absolutely bonked.

The hiccup I had with this was how impartial the narrators voice is. Like there's no dancing around it, the narrator hates the abusive mother and rightfully so. Unfortunately that really flattened out her character. Obviously, abusers don't really deserve to be seen as decent people but the complexity of being a human never should apologise for their being awful (that's usually the partiality on the reader's or author's part). In fact giving horrible people a whole fleshed our character in my mind really sets the tone for "they CHOSE to be horrible people". Point is, the abusive mother was flat and therefore a caricature in a book that touched on some real issues. That juxtaposition really didn't help.

Additionally the narrator's biases manifested themselves in some really nasty ways. The woman's physical attributes like her body type and dark skin colour were used to manifest her as an unlikeable character. Her sexual habits were written about in a very disgusted tone. On the flip side, two men involved in a sexual scene weren't given as bad of an image as the abusive mother was (they were definitely described as gross but it felt like her physical attributes and sexuality made her gross as opposed to the men being horrible people made them disgusting).

It felt like misogyny and misogynoir were used as tools against this woman. I didn't understand why because there was no way anyone would sympathise with her after reading about how she was abusive. It felt like a dirty way to go about things and I didn't like it. That kind of treatment towards women in the book who weren't among the Good Characters were treated similarly. While the men were treated objectively despite being good or bad and were judged more on their behaviour than their attributes or sexual needs. Come to think of it, not a single male character was flat not even secondary and tertiary male characters.....

Parts like the above felt like they dragged on for me so it could have just been a couple of chapters and the rest was more or less fine. I don't know.

Oh and another thing. The rest of the books written by the author give me a distinct feeling that his books are full of objectified women, colourism, and general grossness towards black women so I don't know how much I should take that into consideration especially considering it's only a feeling and I haven't read anything else by him.

So I think I've laid out all my thoughts. At the end of this ramble I still don't know how to rate this book. Does the misogyny outweigh the message and the strangely appealing writing? I don't think it should. Does that mean the writer gets a pass on being a dick to female characters deemed bad people? Nope. I don't know. I really don't know how to rate this. At moments it felt like a one and others a four star. Like two stars might make sense but it wasn't a horrible book. Three stars could be but it WASNT AVERAGE so what do I doooooo??????

They were the only things that were real in this book. In my view, there were not enough roaches in this book.

I would have given a lower rating, but the author really touched upon something when developing the story around the relationship between Austin and Myyah. I could feel the emotion between them. This was the saving grace in this book. I would definitely not recommend this book, or any other book by this author, if this is what they consist of: no character development, grotesque dialogue, and no storyline.

Make sure your closures, lace fronts and wigs are on secure

This book was a really good book. It helps you get a clear picture of each character then takes you on a roller coaster ride with how the story flows. I didn't expect it to be a episode 2, but I'm ready for it. I don't think I read any book as fast as I read this one!!!

Yes, I read this. And yes, I actually LIKED this.

My curiosity surrounding this book was aroused via Facebook, when I saw a photo of the cover in someone's post and their subsequent finger-wagging at its rachetness. Interest piqued, I looked it up on Amazon and I discovered that this book was indeed real. It was .99, so I downloaded it. I read it in a few days. And whew, chile...

Yes, I read this. And yes, I actually LIKED this.

The ghetto-ness of this book is off the charts. We are first introduced to Fredquisha, a "rachet hoe" who keeps a disgusting apartment where roaches have free reign of the place. There is nothing symbolic about the insects here, the author means literal roaches. The descriptions of the roaches' activities are quite hilarious ("Daddy Roach Sr. had 1,861 brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, uncles, aunts, and other relatives lurking in the cut, ready to get to that pizza crust...") and keep you entertained throughout the first part of the book.

The author portrays Fredquisha as, quite literally, evil incarnate. She smokes blunts, goes out to clubs at every opportunity, has sex with random men, and emotionally and physically abuses her youngest daughter, Myyah. Her older two children face no such abuse and live like kings. The story switches between Fredquisha's rachet adventures over the course of one weekend to Austin, Myyah's father, as well as Mrs. Watkins, Austin's mother. Both of them struggle despite Austin's incarceration to save Myyah from Fredquisha's abuse.

Honestly, this book was not as rachet as it seemed. While Fredquisha's icky-ness is stupefying, there's a solid plot here which is not so much about roaches, but a single father trying to redeem himself for his daughter. I found myself empathizing with Austin, his mother, and Myyah, which I really didn't expect from the outset. Needless to say, this book surprised me. It's got emotional punch, humor, and heart. I liked that.

Be aware though: this book is incomplete. It ends on a cliffhanger, so you have to buy the next book to see what happens to the characters. I probably will buy the next book eventually, idc.

Quan Millz is definitely a writer now on my radar. While some members of the Black community shake their heads in shame at ghetto-ness of this book and dozens like it, I am intrigued by its setting, its characterizations, its structure, and its audience. Mainstream fiction authors write lurid tales of sex, drugs, and ridiculousness all the time. Why is this kind of writing so problematic for some? What is the "acceptable" portrayal of Black urban life? I ask myself these kinds of questions all the time. Hmmm...

I look forward to reading more.

Hmmm

The visuals you get from the author's extremely descriptive (and more times than not just downright gross) language brought on moments of nausea. His ability to paint such a vivid description of characters, places and interaction between the players is not for the faint of heart. There were quite a few grammatical and character mixups, but this setup for a series was well executed. The characters were developed and there was a clear plot.

I tried so hard, I really did but the way this author writes his books and the language he uses...not for me. The writing style is too gutter for me. I tried this one and CNA Hoe Dreams, but I just couldn't get past the 1st pages of either.

Can you say ratchet?

This book started out ratchet and ended up even more ratchet. What kind of name is Fredquisha? That has ratchet written all over it. And those living conditions. All those roaches need to be paying rent. I felt so bad for Myyah. No child should have to live like that. I hope that Mrs. Watkins can work something out to get custody of her. But with the way things ended for Austin, it doesn't look too good.

I didn't hate it but I also could have gone my whole life without it. It was actually much more depressing than I anticipated and whole part with Myyah, her grandma, and dad was actually kinda interesting. Frequisha is the one of the most garbage characters written and I found myself feeling nauseous reading her parts. I still just think it's ok and I appreciate how unique the story was, I guess.

[...]

Daddy Roach Sr. went on to be with the Lord. The front of his obituary read: Homegoing Celebration For The Late Daddy Roach Sr. Sunrise May 2018- Sunset June 2018 Rev. Dr. Lucious Roachson, III presiding…

[...]

Daddy Roach Sr. had 1,861 brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, uncles, aunts and other relatives lurking in the cut, ready to get to that pizza crust and other discarded trash scattered throughout the cluttered and disgusting apartment.

[...]

Rather than clean up the crushed roach corpses slimed onto the bottom of the wall and baseboard, the uneasy and rushed single mother of three furiously made her way back into the kitchen in search of her half-smoked, peach-flavored Philly blunt. Fredquisha picked the blunt up off of one of her dirty kitchen countertops and wedged it in between her crusty, plump purple lips. She whisked out a lighter from her left pocket and lit the blunt up. She took three long puffs. Exhaled. Waited a few moments to let the weed calm her jittery nerves. The THC high overtook her portly body. Fredquisha then opened the palm of her left hand and then hawked up the biggest ball of gooey, frothy spit into her palm. She put the lit end of the blunt out into the viscous pool of saliva and then stuffed it in her pocket for later. Nasty bitch.

[...]

It was sickening that a woman could birth such an innocent child into the world, and rather than take their frustration out on the father, she'd turn her frustration onto her very own innocent and precious daughter who simply just wanted to enjoy her semblance of a childhood. Tears…

(Hoo boy, the writing. I think this is self-published just from the above alone. But let's go further:)

Fredquisha always wanted to feign she was on some Ms. Independent shit. But bitch – you dependent on the state?!? The fuck?!? ANYWAYS…

(^^^Yeah this is definitely self-published I think...^^^)

Mrs. Watkins then looked up at the ceiling and saw a group of big, thuggish roaches running a train on some THOT roach in the corner. Her thick roach pussy juice splashed all over the place.

(OH LAWDY. What is going on with this book?)

Later on in the book:

"Is DeMario gonna be alright?" Austin probed, expressing concern his fellow inmate was going to mentally break. Austin knew he wouldn't be able to handle that type of devastating news himself. The last thing he could do was fathom his baby dying in such a horrid and unexpected manner. "Well, it's too early to say. We got him in the psych ward now and sedated because he threatened to kill himself…" Dr. Sterling tightened her plump, red lips and put her hand on Austin's shoulder in a non-flirtatious manner (she was a lesbian), "That's why Austin I want you to really do your best not to get caught up anymore in that bullshit once you get out in the streets. A lot of people are rooting for you, including your daughter. I just know once she walks through those doors, she is going to bawl…And so are you."

(SHE WAS A LESBIAN! *facepalm*)

[...]

Fredquisha was now staring at herself in the mirror, sucking on the e-pill, trying to get her make up together before she was about to head back downstairs to meet up with Trel. She smacked her teeth and screwed her face up at Tykeisha's statement. "And?" Fredquisha rolled her neck. "I'm still deciding if I wanna keep this little muhfucka or not. Shit, I already got three. Four is just doin' the most. I can't be out here getting my life boggled down with these bad ass kids." Tykeisha's mouth flung open. "Hoe, it don't even matter! If you do keep it, you puttin' dope all up in that baby. Baby gon come out retarded." "And, so what? If it do, that's just some more SSI money. I can always use some extra funds. Shit, bitch, I'm tryna buy a Benz next year. Hot pink too. Match the color of this fire ass pussy I'm finna throw on this nigga."

[...]

"Well, since you got us with the room, you wanna stop and get somethin' to eat first? White Palace right around the corner," Trel asked as he put his arm around Fredquisha. Feeling his muscular forearm grace her neck sent a bolt of electricity down into panties, making her pussy even more wet. #winning.

(#OkCharlieSheen)

"Thank you for calling the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services' Child Abuse Hotline, this is Cheryl, are you call in to report a new case of child abuse?" "Yes, I am." "Ok, ma'am. And what is the name of the child?" "Her name is Myyah Chennelle Watkins." "How old is she?" "She's 6." "And who are you in relationship to her?" "I am her paternal grandmother." "What is the child's name?" "Fredquisha Pierce." "How old is she? I believe around my son's age. 35" "And what's your son's name?" "Austin Watkins."

(This didn't go to an editor, clearly. "Name of the child?" *Given* "What is the child's name?" *Grandmom gives the mothers name, cue WTF's from me reading this and going "how didn't this get proof-read?"*)

OH BUT THIS ISN'T THE BEST PART!

So, the child is abused by the mom, ok? The mom is a "THOT" hungry for dick. The father of the child is in jail for gunrunning as a gangster on Chigaco's streets. OK, with me so far? So after a short (1-3 hour read according to Kindle's estimates and the chapters [17] are pretty short. About 10-12 pages each) read, we have the child go dance with her father (only after a twist of a woman on a cellphone driving slams into the grand-mothers car, stopping her and the daughter from going to a jail daddy-daughter dance.

With me so far?

OK! So after all this, and one of the jail employees pulling strings to let the daughter (Myyra) and father (Austin) dance...

With me so far?

Here we go... The Epilogue of 17 mercifully short chapters...

HERE WE GO, LADIES AND GENTS... HERE WE GO... The scene:

Austin stood there frozen for a second as the officer continued to dig into Terrence's back. Suddenly he felt the need to intervene, "No! Fuck no!" Austin screamed as he lunged at the officer. The two men then found themselves locked in an intense battle of life and death. With motionless Terrence [the priest -me] slowly losing life, bleeding out on the ground, Austin and the corrections officer meandered their struggle out into the middle of the library's floor. A few other inmates were around to see what was happening, but they ducked and hid, not wanting to intervene. "YO! WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?!?" Austin roared, finding himself trying to grab the knife out of the man's bloodied hand. The corrections officer didn't respond. He just stood there, fighting, trying his best to wrestle for domination and control in the fight. Both men suddenly fell to the ground. As they continued to tussle back and forth, Austin conjured up enough strength to roll the man over. He quickly let the murderous corrupt corrections officer go for a brief moment, threw a few punches into the man's face and the arm that held the knife. Without even thinking Austin grabbed the knife and began to slice away at the man's neck. Blood splattered all over, even on Austin. As the corrections officer clung for his life, spewing out crimson blood from the open wound gaping in the middle of his neck, Austin stood up with the knife in his hand and gawked down at the dying corrections officer. "WATKINS! PUT THE KNIFE DOWN OR WE WILL SHOOT!" One of two guards standing feet away from Austin screamed towards Austin. Both guards had semi-automatic rifles pointed at the man. "DROP THE FUCKING KNIFE IN YOUR HAND AND GET DOWN ON YOUR KNEES! NOW!" Austin, completely shook up and terrified, muttered, "It's not what you think. I was def—" "WE ARE GOING TO TELL YOU ONE LAST TIME WATKINS! GET DOWN!" "No, Officer! PLEASE! IT'S NOT WHAT YOU—" POW! POW! POW!
---

AND SCENE! The cops kill the father of the abused daughter in cold-blood over a misunderstanding/gang hit that wasn't his fight to do.

My face is literally the dude on the on the cover of this book's reaction on reading this and the entire book.

Funny title. Horrible writing. I've got no clue if Urban Literature is this "trashy" (and that's not an insult, babes) to where this is a parody or not (I'm hoping it IS because good fucking lord) but what a ride. WHAT A RIDE!

Clearly Millz needs an agent that proof-reads and then goes "uh, this is too short, dude. You need to expand on things and maybe give a proper conclusion than TO BE CONTINUED IN CHAPTER 2/BOOK 2!!!!!!"

DOES AUSTIN SURVIVE!? FUCK KNOWS, and since I got this book for free (thank you Facebook person that linked this and had me go "Fuck it, I've read worse. *adds to Kindle*") and how awful the writing is? I doubt I'll purchase chapter 2 to find out, so my head-cannon is "he gets murdered as a 'fuck you' from the author because he was about to be out of jail in a few weeks/end of month and able to help his daughter."

Funny book, though. Funny in a "so bad it's actually bad" way.

A quick read giving readers a glimpse into the dark, dank underbelly of urban life. The dialogue is raw, the writing is atrocious, and blunt at times but the author does a good job of showing the love between the grandmother (Mrs. Watkins) and her granddaughter Myyah.

The main character of this book is Frequisha, a thirty-five year old single mother of three who is living in the dangerous city of Englewood, Illinois in section 8 housing. Frequisha spoils her two oldest sons as her pride and joy since they are working towards beings drug dealers. She treats her third child, daughter Myyah like trash since she hates the girl's father Austin. Fredquisha views Myyah only as a way to get money since she has had her diagnosed as having ADHD.

Austin Watkins is currently is prison due to a parole violation. Although Austin hasn't always made good life decisions, he wants to do right by his daughter and vows to walk the straight path upon being released from prison. Throughout the book, the reader is giving a front row seat to the trifling shenanigans of Frequisha, the hopeless of Myyah and the desperation felt by Austin as well as his mother Delores Watkins.

To me, the book doesn't have a clear focus, gets bogged down by the overuse of the word hoe and the author clearly has a limited view of women's roles in the world. I feel the author views women as either saintly or hoes who only exist to victimize men.

I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone especially if you've never read urban fiction before. there are much better books in the urban fiction genre by authors like Sister Soulja, Carl Weber and Terri Woods.

Okay I kinda understand now

So I was against reading any of his books from summaries I've read but decided to go ahead and read at least one so I know what I'm talking about. It was okay. Great storyline. The story is a good one. Im not gon lie, I teared up and all. The story was even relatable although it's fiction. What I didn't like was the way it was written. I respect not wanting to use the same words and phrases repeatedly, but some words used weren't in good context. It's like he reached for "big" words to use. One minute it seemed like someone was telling me a story then the next, I was in the story so that was kind of confusing too. My main turn off were the descriptions of the ppl. It's like he used the most racist or downtrodden descriptions for the characters. Most of the descriptions were basically put downs. From the mother character to just the description of the religions and the leads of them. It just seemed too harsh to me. Outside of that and the wild ass title, I wasn't disappointed that I took a chance on this book...

Interesting... But Get on With It

I almost did not read past page 3 because I found the level of detail into the lives of roaches to be as asinine as it was ridiculous. Fredquisha had roaches, granted a terrible infestation, but why was so much attention given to them when there were so many more pertinent facts to get to??? Fredquisha was beyond nasty and trifling and did not deserve to be a mother period, yet she has three children, is pregnant with a fourth and about to become a grandmother, tragedy! In the midst of all of this she's abusive to the one daughter she has and there is no detailed justification as to why. I too would not allow my grandchild to live in that kind of environment but I know Mrs. Watkins is causing more trouble in kidnapping the child versus fighting for her legally. Austin had a choice:: walk away or get involved. He chose the latter and he took it too far. An ending by the way I saw coming a mile away. I'm only reading to verify what ultimately happens to Myyah, the rest is just dumb, stereotypical hood bull.

Normally this isn't my type of book I would read. Although I read from different genres. I was curious and interested to see the nature of this book. However I have to give this Author his props for such a ratchet but yet catchy title. You can't always judge book by it's cover without opening the book and reading what is between the page's. I also realized that when it comes to human beings. They don't like to live in their truths. There is a realistic storyline between these page's. Fredquisha is no different than a lot of other out here. Unfit, conniving, trifling, selfish, and uneducated. She show's favoritism amongst her children, she's nasty as hell, have no qualms about her actions and well to be honest. She isn't fit to raise a damn dog but judging from here own mother. The apple didn't fall far from the tree. Austin was placed in a unfortunate situation. I hope his outcome doesn't involved him losing his life because he and his mother seriously need to get Myyah out of the clutches of Fredquisha evil ass.

Ok, so I read it. I kept telling myself to venture into hood -lit for my own amusement but have avoided it for my own sanity. My brain didn't melt so I will mark this as a success. Wrapping my head around the names in the book nearly caused my eyes to pop out though. (Fredquisha? Frfr?) The story pulled me in so Millz is doing something right. Even when the ratchet went way over the top there were layers and subplots to bring it back down to level ground. I wish there were better editing in the Ok, so I read it.

Even when the ratchet went way over the top there were layers and subplots to bring it back down to level ground. I wish there were better editing in the world of hood lit. It's one thing to phonetically spell words for authenticity, but another to forget words that hold a sentence together. Spelling and grammar check don't cost a thing. Shit. I might be willing to review the latest work for the low. I think it comes from trying too hard to push an image that you don't need to make these stories work. almost makes it seem less genuine. Overall I gave it 3 stars for pure entertainment value. Good airport reading on your Kindle. ...more

Ok I wanted to read this book to see what all the hype was with this author and his crazy title books. Well Im here to report that its was pretty interesting. I like how the author refers to things that are happening right now in this day and age and how he refers to TV reality show individuals' to explain how some one looks. And its funny to me how every woman in this book is actually like someone ive seen in the streets, in real life, like black woman walking around with blond or red lace fron Ok I wanted to read this book to see what all the hype was with this author and his crazy title books.

And its funny to me how every woman in this book is actually like someone ive seen in the streets, in real life, like black woman walking around with blond or red lace front wigs with green or hazel contacts in there eyes. That part was funny to me. The serious part of this book is how this woman is keeping her child from the father and his family because he don't wont her no more. And how she treats the boys better then her daughter. And lets not forget the nasty house she got her kids living in. I would never invite someone to my house in that kind of condition. But I guess this basic hoe don't care. Lol anyways on to the next book in the series. ...more

Don't let the title fool you!

My best friend recommended this book to me and I honestly rolled my eyes and laughed. I thought I was about to read a stereotypical inner city story that was superficial and poorly written. I could not have been more wrong! Although the book needs editing, the storyline was awesome and illustrated harsh realities. If you can see past what some would refer to as "ghetto stereotypes" then you are in for a great read. The author wonderfully sheds light on intergenerational trauma, survival, a broken judicial system and overcoming hardships. There were moments I literally laughed out loud and there were times I also cried. I am excited to read the next episode. Don't discount Quan Millz.... he is the next up and coming urban series author! I'm happy to be proven wrong. Enjoyable, quick read rooted in sad harsh realities....

Me and my friend initially wanted to read this book as a joke because of the title of the book. I felt at first this book was hard to get into because the author was different & the story was different from books I was used to reading. Because the book takes place in Chicago & me being a Chicagoan it was a certain amount of relatability that made this an easy read. The first few chapters of the book seemed extremely playful, however once the plot thickened I was not able to put the book down.

This is the funniest book I've ever read

No seriously, this book is funny AF. It's very well written. Quan is genius at descriptions and comedic word play. I love that he mentions GOD alot.
I definitely wasn't expecting the ending! 😂
Great way to prepare for part 2 storyline. I'm looking forward to part 2 and I'll go back and check out his other titles. Great read funny AF. I recommend it if you like funny fiction. If you're easily offended or like very woke or pro black you may be offended. Lol s

This book is off the chain, real life issues. It made me laugh, had me talking to myself. Like " no Fredquisha didn't just make Baby girl do that". I fell in love with Myyah, so we'll mannered. Austin danm my brother, shit bout to get real. Fredquisha about to go the he'll off, all I can do is pray for Myyah at this point. As I complete this review, about to start on Episode 2. Quan Millz you keep writing an I'll keep buying. Need this book an episode 2 in paperback.
