And they vowed they would watch over eighteen-year-old Zabu Davis, their baby brother. Intelligent, driven, and charismatic, Baby Brother had resisted the lure of Brooklyn street life and was headed for Stanford University on a pre-med scholarship. But on the eve of his departure for California, in a split second of blinding violence, Baby Brother's life is thrown onto a tragic collision course. Soon, his devoted brothers follow a path of blood justice that will rock the city streets. Baby Brother was their pride and joy. Now, he's their reason to fight for vengeance. Baby Brother Reviews:
I Loved This Book! 
2008-05-01 - I really loved this book. It was a quick read. It was just too short. I enjoyed reading about the Davis Brothers!!
Baby Brother
2008-04-02 - very good read the only problem is that is toooooo short I wish it was a little longer but overall I enjoyed the book.
GOOD READ ESPECIALLY IF YOU"RE INTO URBAN FICTION
2008-02-15 - This book was really good. If you don't have it get it. Very much entertaining.
Trashy 
2008-01-05 - I am a high school English teacher and I picked this book up on the bargain shelf on my way through the check out line. The cover looked interesting and seeing that 50 Cent wrote it, I thought it would be a good book to add to my repertoire for reluctant readers. I was excited thinking I had really ran across something that my teen students would gobble up. I realized after reading the first 3 pages, which describes in much detail the main character having sex with his girlfriend, that this book wasn't going to fly. AFter reading a few more pages, the language and content aren't something that I would want my students to be exposed to. My instincts were right, it would probably keep the interest of reluctant readers, but for the wrong reasons. It is like a trashy Harlequin novel for teens.
Them Davis Boys 
2007-08-30 - Zabu Davis was the one that was going to make it out of the seven Davis boys. He was the youngest, and with scholarship in hand he was going to college to be a pediatric surgeon. Sari, his girlfriend since forever, didn't want him to go but knew he had to. All of that changes after an argument at the West Indian Day Parade that leaves Sari shot and Baby Brother holding the gun. The situation goes from bad to worst once Baby Brother is incarcerated, and there's nothing left for the remainding brothers to do but to help him, but will it be too late?
In tradition of Noire's gritty writng style, this was another story that pulled you in from the very beginning. The wrath of these brother's was serious business, and they were ruthless in their doings. I think the only thing that killed it for me was that it ended too soon for me, but in understanding that it's a novella I let it be what it is. You won't be disappointed with this one, and it can be read in one sitting.
