Excerpt
I asked for the audience's attention, and they quieted down. Then I turned to my beautiful manager. I looked her in the eyes as she tilted her head slightly trying to figure out hat I was up to. Then her eyes widened and her head straightened out. She got the idea when I suddenly stuck my hand into my jacket pocket. An unexpected emotion began overcoming me, I couldn't believe what I was feeling, as if I was about to cry. I was choked up and thought that if I said something, I would crack. But it was too late now, I had to push through it. I sucked in the tears, Yolanda stared at me, her eyes too began to water and the muscles in her face pulled it into a smile. Her gorgeous whites illuminated her face like an angel. For the first time ever, life seemed perfect. I looked at this incredible person standing in front of me, in disbelief that I was about to propose to her. My eyes quickly glanced to the side toward the audience, there was Santos standing below at the foot of the stage. He was smiling, and because he knew what was going to happen before it did, he seemed to feel a part of it. This would be a story he would tell for the rest f his life. I looked back at my soon to be, and said.
"Yolanda Fuentes?" He smile widened. "You have been an Angel to me. Not only in my career, but more importantly, my life." I pulled out the small black ring box and held it in front of me. Yolanda's jaw dropped as I opened it. Her eyes went from the ring back up to me, she stared me in the eyes in a way that told me it will be a yes, and then suddenly her eyes shifted from my eyes to over my shoulder. She screamed and before I could turn all the way around I felt a tremendous push from behind me. The ring box flew from my hand, I managed to keep my balance remaining on my feet when a second hit knocked me down. My arms were held behind me making it impossible to shield my face from the on coming floor. All went black!

Holy Page Turner! Being connected to the Freestyle genre I wanted to read this book. As i read I realized that "the Freestyle" in the title was just a shiny lure and like a fish I was hooked.Happily! This is much more than a book about a time and a style of music. It's an adventure. Even now, 3 days after reading it I feel like it's characters and the story have been tattoo'd on my brain. Great Book! I can't wait for the movie. Boom!

This book is AMAZING!!! Totally NOT what you would expect. The twists and turns in this book, will get you hooked from the very first page. Just when you think you know what's going to happen next, BAM! something that knocks you for a loop happens. The way Latif tells the story (his awesome style of writing) really makes you feel like you are living the story. You must get this book!! You will not be dissapointed. I read it in 5 hrs. I couldn't put my iPad down! I'm so excited to read his next novel. If Latifs very first novel, is this good, I can't even imagine what the future holds.. FREESTYLE FOR LIFE baby!!!!!

Freestyle for life is a great read indeed. I appreciate the detailed writing and the genuine nature of this most memorable book. I was engulfed by the charachter "Solo" and his experiences. It felt like really being there. There was so much that I related to. From the not knowing what would happen next to folks making you second guess things and so much more! I have to tell you, I seriously could not put this book down. I would have to peel myself away so I could get on with my day or even sleep. It just had me wanting to know what would happen next! This story had me sad, upset, almost in tears and of course excited and very happy too! I loved the way the author took me for a spin on the emotional roller coaster. It was kick ass great! I loved the feel of "REAL" the author brought to the characters in this great story. You just felt like it was almost you in that story! I highly recommend that you get a copy of this book. It's GREAT!!!! I LOVE IT!!!! Great JOB!!!!! BRAVO!!!!!!!! FREESTYLE FOR LIFE!!!!!!!!! =o) SERIOUS IT'S KICK ASS GREAT!!!! =0)
