Gone 'Til November: A Journal of Rikers Island Kindle Edition

by Lil Wayne (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars (581)
“Transfixing…[Wayne’s] prison diary is, above all, a testament to the irrepressibility of his charisma—his is a force that can never go dormant, even when it’s not plainly on display.” –The New Yorker

From rap superstar Lil Wayne comes Gone ’Til November, a deeply personal and revealing account of his time spent incarcerated on Rikers Island for eight months in 2010.

In 2010, recording artist Lil Wayne was at the height of his career. A fixture in the rap game for more than a decade, Lil Wayne (aka Weezy) had established himself as both a prolific musician and a savvy businessman, smashing long-held industry records, winning multiple Grammy Awards, and signing up-and-coming talent like Drake and Nicki Minaj to his Young Money label. All of this momentum came to a halt when he was convicted of possession of a firearm and sentenced to a yearlong stay at Rikers Island. Suddenly, the artist at the top of his game was now an inmate at the mercy of the American penal system. At long last, Gone ’Til November reveals the true story of what really happened while Wayne was behind bars, exploring everything from his daily rituals to his interactions with other inmates to how he was able to keep himself motivated and grateful. Taken directly from Wayne’s own journal, this intimate, personal account of his incarceration is an utterly humane look at the man behind the artist.

Review

“Transfixing…[Wayne’s] prison diary is, above all, a testament to the irrepressibility of his charisma—his is a force that can never go dormant, even when it’s not plainly on display.”–The New Yorker

"Inspiring ... an intimate and personal look into the mind of Lil Wayne."–New York Journal of Books 

"[Wayne’s] slangy, informal tone shines vibrantly throughout … as an account of daily life in prison and its discontents, and as an exhortation to avoid incarceration, Gone 'Til November offers a rare perspective."–Shelf Awareness

    This is a great book! A must have for any Wayne fans, this is a very human look at Wayne and it gives some insight into his experience U.S. jail system. I have loaned this book out to some friends and they all say it's great, so great reviews across the board. I purchased the hardcover version and the quality of the book itself is nice and doesn't feel cheap.

    Reading Mr. Carter's journal notes was a good read that turned out to be eye opening and real. I think he opened himself up as much as possible to the world, and it reminded me to pray for him daily because he is a brother in Christ. Much respect to him for sharing his journey, the good and the bad.

    I am a huge Lil Wayne fan, and this journal that took me into the world of Weezy was an honor to read and an honor to feel apart of. There were more serious parts to it just as well as there were humorous parts. Every page turned you are given the opportunity to learn more about the man behind it all. If you choose to learn you will read between the lines to figure this genius out and if you don't read between the lines then you will have trouble knowing and understanding the person Lil Wayne is today. This was apart of his life, so understanding this would just be another part of understanding him.

    This journal is an up close and personal glimpse into Wayne's time spent at Rikers. It allows the reader a closer connection with the mega star at a vulnerable, self exploring time in his life. I can appreciate the authenticity of his words and the strength it took to do the time. I love Wayne for this book!

    I did a happy seagull dance when this came through the letter box. I like how the book is written like a diary in a handwriting style font. Its stunning in hardback. The note at the beginning was so kind, just saying he loves us and he's been to prison and told us about it, so we don't have to go there. I recommend this book, It was well worth the wait. I Love you Lil Wayne x
