Unzipped: An Urban Erotic Tale Reviews
-
Okay....so I liked the plot behind the story and the way the main character moved to accomplish what she needed to...I was definitely happy with the ending because you never know how these books go sometimes. However, I felt like this book was trying to be way too hood if that is a thing...I don't know how many times the word neck p*$$y was going to be used, but it was OVER used. It was supposed to be an erotica but I think it was lacking in that department. Yes there was sex but it was lacking eroticism. Also this book has some content that was very vile, vulgar and brutal...very unexpected in an erotica novel.

This is no more erotica than a horror film with boobs in it is a porn. If this were a movie, it would be considered a horror or drama. Sometimes the wording felt like it tried too hard to be ghetto, but I'm a middle-class girl from Kentucky so I could just be that out of touch. The decisions the main character, Pearl, made were usually ridiculous (like having sex with the bad guy that slaughtered her family before killing him even though it was in no way necessary). The author didn't do much research either. Apparently there is no such thing as forensics or detective work or else Pearl clearly wouldn't have had a happy ending. I don't know how this book got so many high stars. It obviously reaches a certain crowd, but that only tells me there are a whole lot of people out there that sorely need an education and better books to open their minds.

Family First
Pearl was hot as fire. When her entire family was taken from her, there was nothing left to do but get revenge. And revenge she got! They didn't know who's family they were messing with. Pearl didn't grow up in Harlem and not learn anything. Although you do find yourself wanting to yell at her sometimes for her decisions because she was acting naive.
Just when you think you know is going to happen, something else happens. This book keeps you reading to the very end. It doesn't leave you hanging like some books. There is closure to this story. You don't walk away feeling confused and cheated. -
This was past amazing. I have been a long fan of Noire. She has been my favorite author because of her skills in creating characters and the world that surrounds them. Her writing skills breathes life into her story and makes every book she writes a page turner. This was my first time reading unzipped. I had no clue what to really expect out of the story. What I ended up getting was definitely an amazing story. I would recommend this book to any fan of Noire.

I loved this book. Love the drive and determination in Pearl! I love how she stayed focus at the task she had on hand! No, not your norm Noire book, but good none the less! A good read, kept me in there from beginning to the end, yes some parts had me cringing but I still held on knowing its just a book! If your on the fence, read it you won't be bored, upset, nor will you regret it!

This book was good. Pearl was on a mission to take down her families killers and executed her plans brilliantly. She used what had to get the results she wanted. Honestly I wish there was a sequel to this but at this point, really there's no need. Excellent book, I truly recommend!

Not Noire´s best book but it was decent.
-
A hood classic. Loved it !
-
Great read
-
2.5/5 stars..Just rereading a throwback for me. Kinda cringey now but still hilarious
-
I got about 20 minutes into it & put it down. I kept thinking OMG are you really serious?
-
I enjoyed this book. It was sad and yet it was inspirational. It's sad that the entire family had to die, leaving Pearl alone but she had Menus. It was a great story on endless love for family. Pearls payback was a beast! Very well done.

I am all for a deserving revenge. The book had a typical story. It was brutal to read some parts. I thought that Pearl should have been a little smarter if she was an FBI agent. She should have been more aware of her surroundings and a better profiler when she was completing her killings, she got caught up twice for not watching her surroundings and catching on to the red flags. She should have known better to under estimate her opponent. The first one through me off a little, she threw up twice after been drugged, that should have gotten some of the drugs out of her system. I liked the ending, I love happy endings so it was good to see her reconnect with her love and can have some peace after this tragedy.

Diamond and Pearl...twins that are completely opposite, it makes you wonder if they have different Dad's. This book is all about trying to do the right thing but wrong finding you anyway. And revenge being the cure for what ails you. All I can say is, you mess with a girls family, you will get burned.
One question though, how does a rookie FBI agent become a straight hood, super assassin overnight? Hmmm.....that's a good question. -
READING THIS ON MY KINDLE AND ITS A GOOD BOOK SO FAR.
-
Very nice. Had some dry parts but they were very descriptive the action parts. I liked it.
