Once you start you can't stop,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Capital City (Paperback)
I read this book before and really liked it. Then, one day I was going to let my friend read it so I just wanted to read the character intros so I could remember what it was about. Do you know I had to read the whole book? This is the best Omar Tyree book I have read. You get sucked in from the first page and can't put it down until you are finished. I highly recommend this book.

Capital City was a true to life story.,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Capital City (Paperback)
Capital City was like a nonfiction novel. It tells the story of so many young black males trying to make money the easy way in the nineties, but the characters in this book find out the hard way that you must earn a living because nothing in life is too easy.

Didn't want it to end,
By "July Lady" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Capital City (Paperback)
Omar Tyree did it again with capitalcity, it was so good, and funny. The characther shank was my favorite, he was so funny, yet he was also smart. Butterman was the prettyboy in the book, and Wes was the college guy that handle things for butterman. Capital city is the story of drug dealing, and also college life.
