In Marie Antionette’s latest literary effort “The Struggle” readers will be educated, but if you think it is going to read like a grade school textbook, you are wrong. The authors holds your attention from the first chapter, whereas you want to continue reading because she is discussing very thought provoking topics. With knowledge comes wisdom, which then brings forth the understanding and that is what “The Struggle” is, it makes sense and comes full circle. I sat and read this book and found that this book would be the perfect implement in every high school because of the facts that are distributed throughout the book. “The Struggle” is not a book about what is wrong with the world with an authors attempt to “band-aid” the problem within the 200+ pages but more so a resource for our youth to see what happens when you go down a wrong path as well as how these paths are even created in the first place. The Struggle provides readers with not only the authors opinion but facts to support her way of thinking. No topic goes unturned in “The Struggle” from incarceration,HIV,drug dealing,professional athletes,black businesses, Willie Lynch and so much more. Marie Antionette touches on so many relevant topics with wise words sprinkled throughout the book. I found this book to be motivational for the simple fact of her bringing attention to what the “struggle” is while providing you the reader with the much needed insight on these sensitive subjects. As I read this book I could feel the author’s passion and conviction in her words. There were topics discussed that from reading it you could tell some of these issues described were some that she could relate to and easily identify with, which to me made this book real. Marie Antionette has a winner on her hands with “The Struggle” and again another literary job well done. Reviewed by: Kisha Green
