"One of the finest writers who happens to be black. The urban experience is portrayed in all its gritty splendor. He's a pretty good poet, too. I would recommend anything by this author."
"It's sad that a lyrically talented and subversively creative writer like Reed turned this sequel to Mumbo Jumbo into the most disturbingly misogynistic and heterosexist books I've read in quite some time. I half-heartedly wanted to appreciate the interesting neo-Hoodoo elements of the story, but when so many of those turns end up propping up patriarchical rants it was a lost cause."
"I didn't like this as much as I liked Yellow Back Radio, but that has more to do with the fact that I dislike the whole detective novel genre. However, the writing was so lively and convoluted and frustrating and colorful that I kept reading."
