I Don't Know...

Ever since I read "The Other Woman" by EJD, I wanted to get my hands on everything's he's written. "Friends and Lovers" was mediocre and I pretty much just finished the book, just to finish it. I found it very hard to like Shelby. She was really starting to get on my nerves with her damn attitude. I wish someone would have punched her in her kidneys so she'd shut up! I'm a black woman and I know black women can have attitudes, but hers was annoying. I tried to get a clear picture of everyone involved but I felt like too much and too little was going on at the same time.

Excellent Read!!

There is absolutely nothing I can say to justify the value of this book. All I have to say is...what other titles are available from this author!

Simply The Best!

This book touched all the elements of life...it made you fall in love, it made you sad, happy and even laugh! EJD is off the hook. he puts you right in the midst of these characters lives. this is my favorite one of his many wonderful books. i'm trying to forget it, so i could read it again!

Play

I read this book a few years ago, but when I went to see the play yesterday (phenomenal, beautiful, talented cast with an extremely funny performance), then I remembered the book. The woman who played Lisa was exactly right for the part of a conniving and vulnerable woman who wanted a stable man in her life. The comedian in the play and book made me do a back story on EJD to find out that he was a comedian before (and that was obvious).
I remember Chiquita as ghetto, but the girl who played her made me cry laughing so she may have been funny in the book. The comedian in the play who played Chiquita's love/hate interest was as funny on Comic View as he was in this play. (I love the Scrabble scene).
I do remember the characters that Leon (ooh wee!) and Melvin King (speechless) played in the book and that was pure entertainment. Leon's character refused to be married but wanted someone special and King's character just wanted someone to love. But all the back n' forth relationships of a marriage gone bad, another one starting, a fatal accident occurring, friendships walking on a tight rope, and lies wrapped with a heartfelt mound of comedy, made this play and the book an excellent watch and read.
