THE REVIEWS FOR "SWEETS" ROLL IN

Could easily serve as a Bible for Tiger Woods - Now Dig This (UK)
Fans of Iceberg Slim and Donald Goines will find themselves right at home in the pages of ‘Sweets’: a headlong run through a gritty underworld written with the intimate veritas of someone who has most definitely lived there. - Broken Headphones
Andre Williams adds to his R&B legacy by penning an adventure that's funny, truthful and scary. Sweets is a breezy and scandalous fun house ride that reads like an X-rated police blotter. An original literary event that is not to be missed. - Dave the Spazz (WFMU)
