<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>From the #1 selling artist of 2005--and now "New York Times" bestselling author--50 Cent publishes the never-before-told story of his meteoric rise as one of the hottest hip-hop artists of all time.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>In the <i>New York Times</i> bestseller <i>From Pieces to Weight</i>, rap mogul 50 Cent, a.k.a. Curtis Jackson, lifts the veil on his complicated life, from the murder of his mother when he was twelve, to hustling on the streets; from the assassination attempt that nearly finished him to his meteoric rise to the top of hip hop royalty.</b> <p/>This violent and introspective memoir reveals not only 50 Cent's story but also the story of a generation of youth faced with hard choices and very few options. It is a tale of sacrifice, transformation, and redemption, but also one of hope, determination, and the power of self. Told in 50's unique voice, the narrative drips with the raw insight, street wisdom, and his struggle to survive at all costs--and behold the riches of the American Dream.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A gripping read.<br> -- <i>Time Out New York</i><br><br>Cool, hard, and vivid, a minor classic of a genre you might call gangster rap noir. No fluff here. 50 Cent tells the story of his life...with a novelist's economy.<br> -- <i>The New York Times</i><br><br>50 Cent is unflinchingly honest...in this raw, literate memoir.... Opinionated, unrepentant, and unabashedly self-promoting, <i>[From Pieces to Weight]</i> celebrates the rapper's peculiar brand of the American Dream.<br> -- <i>Publishers Weekly</i> (starred review)<br>
