Summary: The Con Games Continue
Comment: In "Trick Baby", Robert Beck (street-named Iceberg Slim) told the story of Johnny O'Brien (street-named White Folks) and his early days running the short con -- a confidence game designed to cheat the mark (victim) out of small amounts of money. Johnny O'Brien's story continues in "Long White Con". Johnny now calls himself Folks. He has graduated to the long con. Long cons are elaborate confidence games that include casts of rehearsed players plus elaborate sets. In long cons wealthy marks are cheated out of large amounts of money. Folks is older now; he is an experienced actor and has more self-confidence.
"Long White Con" contains some insight into long con games, but periodically Mr. Beck uses sexually-explicit material in place of content. The dialogue is not excellent and only Folks' character is well-developed.
I do not recommend this book.

Summary: Kinda Boring
Comment: I'm a Beck fan indeed, but I don't like this book. Actually, I've only read one other Robert Beck (Iceberg Slim) book before, and that'd be Pimp. Pimp is much, much better by a long shot. This book definantly falls short of anything Pimp has to offer. It's not worth the buy, my friends. If you're interested in some great reading, may I suggest you basically choose anything by Donald Goines?
