Unless you are interested in 50-Cent, the book does not add much to the 48
Laws. Robert Greene is a master at finding anecdotes to -cough- proof his ‘laws’,
and 50-Cent’s life seems to be a good source for those.
More cynically, the book seems a bit like a marketing ploy to reach a different
demographic for his books—I can almost imagine kids running around with “48”
tattooed in big Fraktur letters on their upper arms..
Has anyone read that book? I must say I haven’t been inspired to myself. Purely because of a prejudicial indifference to what rappers have to say.
