Editorial Review:

His talent was unbounded -- a raw force that commanded attention and respect.

His death was tragic -- a violent homage to the power of his voice.

His legacy is indomitable -- as vibrant and alive today as it has ever been.

Tupac Shakur's most intimate and honest thoughts were uncovered only after his death with the instant classic The Rose That Grew from Concrete.

For the first time in paperback, this collection of deeply personal poetry is a mirror into the legendary artist's enigmatic world and its many contradictions.

Written in his own hand from the time he was nineteen, these seventy-two poems embrace his spirit, his energy -- and his ultimate message of hope.

Summary: The Rose that Grew from Concrete
Comment: This collection of poetry is amazing. Tupac was not always right, but he was always honest - honest in his successes as well as his failures. No other book captures the brilliant light and suffocating darkness of the human soul as candidly as "The Rose that Grew from Concrete."

Summary: For 2pac
Comment: I was already a massive 2Pac fan, but after reading this book I found greater appreciation for this late genius. Tupac Amaru Shakur is a well known musical artist, but a seldom appreciated human being. This collection of poems brings to light his genius and in my opinion sets him among the greatest thinkers of all time. It is unfortunate that he was not and is still not listened to and appreciated. His work is not massively influential because many people dismiss his work on face value. He never sought the media's approval and has remained a true gem for true thinkers around the world. Sit back with your favorite 2Pac tracks playing and read these poems, it will prove to be a great experience.

Summary: A must-have for any Tupac fans.
Comment: This was a gift for my younger brother. I've read this before and enjoyed it. He thought it was a great gift and loved it.

Summary: True Rose
Comment: I purchase the book to use in my literature class. I have not had the chance to use it in class yet but I know my students are going to love it. I know Tupac was a creative artist and whatever he did stood out. His poems are no different, his word choice helps capture the readers imagination and allows the reader to empathize/sympathize with him. I recommend it for any one who questions what it takes to be a rapper/story teller. This will clearly show that Literature & writing played a major role in the life of a person that is considered to be one of the "Greatest Rappers of all Time."
