No Longer Waiting

Dear Fellow Readers:

I very much enjoyed the book, Waiting in Vain. I was impressed with the depth of male honesty displayed in the book. I will not compare but I recently finished a book by a contemporary male writer. Although that book was insightful and entertaining; Waiting in Vain was by far the best. When the book came to an end I found myself not wanting it to end. The character Adrian(Fire) was soulful and a very self aware brother. The development of Ian was genius. The book had love, hate, betrayal, deception, suspense, friendship, envy and jealousy. So many levels, so dimensional as it should be and as life is. I look forward to reading any and all books by this gifted writer, Mr. Channer.

Waiting In Vain

I truly enjoyed Colin Channer's WAITING IN VAIN. It is an excellent book that should be read by all. This is the first book in years that actually took me on a journey due to Mr. Channer's magical use of words. I knew I had to have the book when I read the back cover and discovered that I could visit Brooklyn, London and Jamaica - and visit them I did. Using WAITING IN VAIN as my passport and Colin Channer as the guide an enjoyable literary experience was inevitable. He is able to weave unforgetable characters vividly into a part of your memory that willingly accepts them and yearns for more. This book has gathered the essence of mankind and life through the reality that all people want to be loved and to give love. Also this book reminds you that people have an innate ability and desire to care for something and/or somebody. We all have a mission and WAITING IN VAIN allows one to know that it is indeed appropriate to look for both true love and satifaction out of life. I think you should take the time out to purchase this book and read it. Trust me it's like adding another scoop of ice cream to your favorite sundae or noticing that you finally received your last check from that job you left a year ago..lol...get the book you will fall in love with it as I did.

Warm, delectable, wish you were in love romance novel

This book is like a savoury delicious meal when you're really, really hungry.
You can't wait to turn the page, but you just don't want that particular page to end because it's sooooo good!
It is so romantic yet one could easily fit him or herself into the lives of the people who live in this story.
Truly a "You have to read this!" book.

Jamaica On My Mind

Finding the words to describe the way I feel about Colin Channer's Waiting in Vain is hard because it affected me on so many levels. I found the storyline to be fascinating, yet very believable. The highlight of the book however, is the language. The language is so beautiful and poetic that it touched my soul. I was totally into the patois(Jamaican dialect).It added so much to the story. Being a Brooklyn New York native and a woman who is partial to accents from the carribbean, I identified with every word and phrase. Mr. Channer has a talent for writing that is so unlike any other authors that I've read, and I have several favorite authors. His words paint pictures in your mind that are undeniable and long lasting. They take you on the journey that the characters are on in a manner that feels so real. When I was done with the book I felt as if I had been on a world tour through Brooklyn, England and the breathtaking island of Jamaica. As a matter of fact I still have Jamaica on My Mind!!
Hats Off to Colin Channer as I anxiously await his next book!

A feast of words, food, culture and sensuality

"Waiting in Vain" exposes the reader in the various parts of life in Jamaica.
Having lived in Jamaica for a short time and luckily part of the culture in Canada here are some of the things that had an almost emotional effect on me:
The patois, the food descriptions, the mannerisms and details of the various cultures that the novel swiftly passes through.

It took me back to Jamaica and re-energized all the good things about being there. The day to day expressions used by everyone, the food descriptions, the sensuality and the caring between the broad Jamaican family.

A wonderful book, that Americans should read to get a better understanding of the riches that immigrants so often leave behind.

Not only that, it was a pleasant read.
