Colin Channer
One World/Ballantine, 1998
An Amazing Literary Journey That Took My Breath Away
Colin Channer to me is like a modern day Picasso with a pen. His dialogue is compelling, soul-stirring and purposeful and his characters are engaging. You can almost close your eyes and imagine yourself seeing the story unfold as if you were a fly on the wall at a gallery in New York, a beach house in Jamaica, or the Streets of London. This is the mark of a truly great storyteller.

If you ever want to get to know a true artist, why not embrace a writer like Dickey. The characters in this book are so relatable that it is almost like your inside the book. There is a play on this book as well same tittle and I strongly suggest you read this book. You can't say your a true book reader without obtaining this novel.

I Thought About You Today
I received your book, "I thought about you today" and your CD "chocolatecoveredcherries", from my boyfriend Deronti Milam tonight. I could not put it down until I finished the last page. I thought that it was very interesting. On the back cover it states that "this book is for adult women". Men need to read it as well so they can learn what is pleasing to a woman. If more men and women catered to ...

Manchild In the Promised Land
I was able to find this book relatively easy, based on a few keywords. My boyfriend started reading it several years ago and was unable to complete it. The storyline stuck in his memory and I bought it as a surprise for him, because over the years he mentioned it occasionally. Thanks for making the lookup so easy!

He was young and ready to live the fast life too soon and with that being said he ended up going to jail for fifteen years at the tender age of ...

When Darkness Falls
Gloria Mallette's latest novel focuses on a subject that's nearly as old as time itself - sibling rivalry. Since they were children, to say sisters Celeste and Katrina didn't get along is an understatement. Katrina hated her little sister with a passion. Whenever she could do something to upset Celeste she did. Although the sisters' always had problems, it was Katrina's decision to sleep with ...

I can't shake this book!
Beverly Jenkins' books are burning into my soul! I just can shake the stories. I would love to see Indigo and Through the Storm become a movie. How terrific would that be??? Galen is my hero and Hester (La Petite Indigo) is beautiful. I am definitely not a romance reader but my mother read Through the Storm first and after telling me the story, it was more like a history lesson. Needless to ...

George Dawson, Richard Glaubman
Random House, 2000
A Strong Work Ethic
I like the memoir because George Dawson never gave up his dream to read and write. George was born in the late 1800's. His parents were not slaves, but his grandparents were once slaves. George was raised in Texas. His family was poor, and he never attended school. Georges started working at a very young age, drawing water from the well each morning for the house. George worked alongside his ...

"More Than Anything Else" - a review
Well, 53 Five Star reviews pretty much says it all.
This is a beautiful book. Not only is the artwork superb (see the cover and Amazon's "Search Inside This Book" feature) but the story is glorious. A triumph of the human spirit when everything in the immediate environment says 'give up' and 'don't dare to dream'.
In this fictionalized story of Booker T. Washington, a young boy ignores ...

I was reading on the train one day and got sooo caught up in the book that I almost missed my stop! lol, this book also made me do something that I've never done before, which was pray for the character. That's how real the words become. You truly fall in love with Silver and her plight, that you want to root for her with ...

Patricia C. Mckissack
Scholastic, 2003
Wonderful
This is a wonderful, heartwarming story that is perfect for introducing the plight of slaves to children without frightening the children to death. Clotee, though a slave, retains power from her masters by learning to read and write and keeping a hidden diary of her observations. Though this is admittedly unrealistic (where is she getting all these writing materials), the power she retains in ...
