About this ebook

Grammy Award-winning hip-hop artist, producer, and actor T.I. proved himself a powerful storyteller as well with the publication of his debut novel Power & Beauty. Now he follows up with his second riveting street-lit epic, Trouble & Triumph.

T.I.’s explosive sequel picks up the story of Paul “Power” Clay and Tanya “Beauty” Long, as Power takes over his mentor-turned-arch-enemy’s street empire, looking to turn it legit, while Beauty rises ever-higher in a glamorous world of fashion and celebrity. An authentic voice of the street, in the vein of Sistah Souljah and other successful authors of contemporary African-American commercial fiction, T.I. is a rap music legend who has lived at every strata of society, and whose hard life experience adds truth and fire to Trouble & Triumph.

This was a very good sequel but the ending was abrupt and not thought out. Seemed like the authors just got tired of writing or ran out of ideas and just ended it. I hope there will be a part three because the story does not seem to be over.

I loved the first book and simply just liked this book! It ended horribly and was poorly written! I feel like they rushed this book to get it finished. Especially by giving snippets from the 1st few chapters of book one. Like DUH we read book one that's what lead us to book two! I'm displeased but hope there is a third book!

I loved the first book. The second book was good but not as easy to get through as the first. And i hated the ending. So I guess there will be a third book.
