Never Die Alone
"He lived by the code of the streets and his books vividly recreated the street jungle and its predators." --New Jersey Voice
This book is cold. It's one of the shorter Goines tales but also one of the most entertaining. It's interesting that the only praise-worthy character is the Polish writer of Jewish ancestry. Everybody else are selfish hustlers, con-men and drug dealers. The background characters were not spared Goines contempt, including the man simply trying to get some decent sleep in Pawlowski's building. Does this tale reflect the way Donald Goines view of his community? I wonder. Unlike some of his other
Although I do count prison/street pulp to be it's own important category, nothing really new here. Almost seems like Goines might have been working on some larger work, or should have been. Not as hardcore as 'Dopefiend'. I'll check some more of his stuff down the line. I assume It'll fall somewhere halfway between this and Dopefiend.
I read the book before I saw the movie. The movie was good but the book is always better.
The book was much better then the movie...although the movie hit on several key points, in the book the main character King David seemed more RUTHLESS!!
hell yeah this shit rules
this book is really good it gives use a real discription of what went on in lives back then. I liked the movie because they didnt glamerize it they kept it like the book.

Rendition Concering Books Never Die Alone
King David never let anything stand in his way, as he clawed his way out of the mean streets. If it took busting an old lady's head open with a Coke bottle for her last dollar, so be it. Mixing battery acid with cocaine to gain revenge was acceptable, too. Whatever it took. Then he made it big--only to find others had not forgotten, had no intention of forgiving. They came after him. He left behind a Cadillac and a diary, left it to a writer Donald Goines called "Paul Pawlowski." Like all Goines' novels, Never Die Alone is based on truth."He lived by the code of the streets and his books vividly recreated the street jungle and its predators." --New Jersey Voice

Okay. Why do I torture myself reading these books? Once again I picked up an Urban book because I would like to read more of this literature. Unfortunately, my mind must the size of a red pea/bean because I could not understand the difference between coke and heroin. I could not get my mind around how the heroin was being used with a syringe. I just did not understand. There were parts I was not sure if King David wanted to beat up the girl. Over all, it was a good story. Just difficulty withThis book is cold. It's one of the shorter Goines tales but also one of the most entertaining.
