BOOK BYTES: Unsigned Hype (review)
I'm a person who fully believes in the importance of reaching the youth. The problem that usually prevents us from doing this is we don't try to reach the youth where they're at.
Enter filmmaker and author Booker T. Mattison and his debut novel, Unsigned Hype.
From a reader's perspective, the book doesn't miss a beat; I read the book in one sitting, captured by the music backdrop, the tight writing, the well developed characters, and the drama that ensues well to the end of the novel.
As a person, the book touches me because it meets the youth where they are, where their dreams are, where their trips and stumbles through life are, and it shows youth that having faith, having God is important. That with him and your faith, you can still have your dreams--even if they're a little altered due to their journey.
I definitely recommend this book to all readers interested in a strong story and an equally strong message. Looking forward to see what Mattison puts out next.

Thanks so much for the great review! My publisher just recently signed on for books 2 and 3 in the Unsigned Hype Urban Trilogy. I'm writing book 2 now and it should be out next June. I'm also writing an adult novel tentatively titled Snitch that will be out some time in 2010. Keep up the good work!
