Editorial Review:
ONE REASON TO LIVE.THREE REASONS TO DIE. Trill Johnson has five years of jail time under his belt, two women trying to get inside his pants, and one mission in his heart of hearts: Get the suckers who sold him out. And get 'em good. Sunni James will do anything for Trill. Lie, cheat, steal. Even risk losing her successful beauty salon to save him from the mean streets of Richmond. Precious Pay will do anything for Trill, too. She cribbed his kid while he did his time, so now she wants Trill to pay for the leg she lost in a robbery gone wrong. But when love is a lie, who do you trust? When the deals turn dirty, who do you betray? And when the guns start blazing, who's going down? Death Before Dishonor (G Unit) Reviews:
I expect alot more 
2008-03-22 - I read all the reviews for this books and was very disappointed after I bought and read it. Nikki Turner is a great writer and I wonder if this book was rushed or if this was a setup for a part two. Nikki always writes about things you know happen in the hood. But to many questions about the people and the reason for their actions. So either way I will not be buying another G Unit book. Though I will keep reading Nikki Turner because she is a great writer. I advise people who read comments before they buy books to look at the person's other reviews on books before you buy off their comments. I know I will from now on.
A Must Read 
2008-02-04 - I loved the book. I read this book in 1 day. I couldnt stop reading until i was finished!! It's worth a read!!
What??? 
2008-01-18 - As soon as I flip through the book and saw all those blank pages, making the story less than the 194 pages I thought it was, I was disappointed.
It took me a quick three hours to read this. The story itself had potential, the drama factor was there, but was lacking substance.
And as for reality...who on earth would open their back door to someone who was being chased by police cars and helicopters?? The characters were underdeveloped, and there were too many unanswered questions. I was pissed when I got to the end and realized the authors left the story hanging...what was that all about? I would like to have a word with these authors to find out their reasoning behind this!
Now, with two powerhouses like 50 cent and Nikki Turner I expected much, much more than this! These two are excellent in their respected crafts but together...I'd have to say two thumbs down on this one!

DOIN IT WELL
2008-01-14 - NIKKI TURNER AND 50CENT REALLY DID AN EXCELLENT JOB WITH THIS MASTERPEICE. THIS BOOK IS FAST PACED BUT YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH THE STORY LINES USING YOUR IMAGINATION WHEN THE STORY DOESNT ELABORATE ON THE CHARACTERS HISTORY. THATS THE BEST PART ABOUT NIKKI. SHE BRINGS TO LIFE SUNNI JAMES, TRILL JOHNSON, AND PRECIOUS PAY AND I AM ABLE TO RELATE TO THE ENTIRE CASE SENARIO. THE RUNNING FROM THE COPS IN THE WOODS, SUNNI OPENING HER DOOR TO HIM,"A FEARLESS RIDE OR DIE CHICK". IF YOU UNDERSTAND ANYTHING ABOUT NIKKI TURNER, YOU WILL KNOW THAT HER WORK HAS ALWAYS BEEN ON THE CUTTING EDGE OF REALISM AND STAYING TRUE TO THE FICTUAL FACTS OF HIPHOPHOODISM. THANK YOU 50CENT FOR EMBRACING HER GIFT AND BEING DOWN FOR HER VISION THAT WE MAY TAKE THIS BOOK THING TO A WHOLE OTHER LEVEL.
So So
2007-11-01 - I am an avid Nikki Turner fan and have purchased all her books. This one however was a disappointment. Unlike her other books this one didn't seem like she put her heart into it or was maybe rushed to produce. I do plan on buying more books she writes just not any under G-Unit
