Wow! On Saturday afternoon (June 18, 2011) I was in
the Snellville, Georgia Barnes & Nobles book store to see if Ghost of Atlanta was on the book shelves. I had to take a double take when I saw that A Brownstone in Brooklyn
was next to Ghost of Atlanta. What a Blessing! I
hope A Brownstone in Brooklyn made it to other Barnes & Nobles book Shelves.
A Brownstone In Brooklyn Five-Star
Book Review!  Read in November, 2010 A YOUNG BLACK MAN AND THE TURBULENT
60`S !, December 3, 2010 By DENNIS DE ROSE "DETERMINED D" (Middletown , NY) This review is from: A Brownstone in Brooklyn (Paperback) Julius Thompson`s "A Brownstone in Brooklyn" is about a young driven Black man,his family and his Brooklyn brownstone neighbors and friends. Julius has the uncanny ability to write with such intensity that you can`t help but feel that you were actually walking right next to Andy Pilgrim as be experienced,first hand, the love of his family,friends and neighbors and their drive to push him to be all that he can be. Unfortunately, life is not that ideal. Andy experiences some very trying life lessons..the extreme jealously of an old friend to the point of dire consequences; black and white prejudices again with dire consequences; and last, but certainly not least, the race riots of the late 60`s that affected many inner city communities. He witnesses rioting,shootings,death,looting,burning buildings and severe property damage. As a White man, I knew very little about the late 60`s race riots and Julius has helped me to see, first hand, the extreme feelings and the emotions that people, both back and white, went through during that time. At that time, I was a self-absorbed teenager and I was not affected by those events, so I felt nothing for others that it affected. This book has changed my being. It has provided me with a closer look at Black issues of the times. There are also some underlying issues that Andy is dealing with during this time in his life. I will not delve into them; I do not want to spoil it for future readers of Brownstone. Julius Thompson has done a wonderful job with "Brownstone in Brooklyn". If you like it, and I hope you will, I know you will want to read the next two books in the Andy Pilgrim saga. Julius, please keep writing;you are doing a wonderful job. Short Excerpt from A Brownstone in Brooklyn The most special times in a person's life are not meant to last forever. They're like bubbles rising from a plastic ring dipped into a soapy solution. The soap bubbles rise, with the sun flashing brilliant colors, then bursts into a showery memory mist. Please order A Brownstone in Brooklyn Ebook at one of the following

I was surfing the "Neighborhood History" website recently, which includes notable personalities
from Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant, and I was admiring all the Icons from this famous section of this New York City Borough. As I was scrolling down the website when I saw "Notable Community Residents." I
saw Jay Z, Tracy Morgan, Lawrence Fishbourne, Spike Lee, Aaliyah, Ben Vereen, Big Daddy Kane, Chris Rock, Eubie Blake,
Gabourey Sidibe and then I saw Julius Thompson! My picture and a link to an article about me on Wikipedia was right there
with all these incredible Brooklyn Icons. I sat stunned looking at
the computer screen with my picture among some of the most talented Black personalities in America. I'm still reeling!
