“Loved the book and the movie. This is a classic african american contemporary writing.”
“Sorry to say, but I was a bit disappointed by this book. I think all the hype about it and the semi-autobiographical nature of the story was like a wet blanket on the story. This is actually one of those situations where I found the movie better than the book.”
“This was a fun and interesting read. In line with her other books it wasn't as engaging. I became more engaged when I began to hear and read about the continuing sage of the story taking place in real life. Too bad that it was played out so publically but I'm sure it added to the sales. In my opinion the book and everything after was too much for this reader. ”
“not a nice book”
