Karrine Steffans

Amistad, 2006

I actually liked it...

I lived the same life in my early twenties, but instead of rappers, my life revolved around rock stars & Dj's, so I definitely was able to relate. It's just sad that this book got so many negative reviews commenting on how she's just "exploiting the black community" and "making money off of ...

Rosie O'Donnell

Grand Central Publishing, 2002

Touching Book to say the least!

Came out of this book feeling like I knew Rosie and was so touched at how she was able to describe feelings that actually made you understand her joys and pains. This was one of the best reads in a long time for me. I am in the ...
  
  











  



  
The Annotated Uncle Tom's Cabin4 reviews
Harriet Beecher Stowe

W. W. Norton, 2006

excellent background but read the novel first

+ What a Surprise!

John Updike reviews this new edition in the Nov 6 New Yorker, which is available online and well worth looking up. With 100 pages to go, Updike tired of the "irritable sniping from the sidelines" and switched to the standard Library of America edition. A few months ago I reviewed the Penguin ...

Spellbinding -- an Emotional Rollercoaster Ride

+ Love

"Love" is the first book I've read by Nobel Prize-winning author Toni Morrison. I was totally captivated and mesmerized by the emotionally electrifying beauty of her prose and the manifest reality of her characters. The book was fascinating on first reading, but the style in which the story ...

Doing Sixty and Seventy1 review
Gloria Steinem

Elders Academy Press, 2006

Provocative essays

I was excited to see that Gloria Steinem has written a new book about aging, and eagerly ordered it. When I saw the book -- just 68 pages long and printed in a font about three times normal size, I felt cheated. It's not a "book" -- it's a series of two essays published in hard cover. Once I got ...

Gloria Naylor

Third World Press, 2005

Fascinating and Frightening

+ 1996
+ "Tell all the truth but tell it slant," said Emily Dickinson.

I read this book because I love Gloria Naylor. I hadn't heard about any of her travesties from 1996 before reading this book. I found it frightening at times, but it was so compelling, I couldn't put it down. Of course, certain parts are fictionalized, but Ms. Naylor obviously did a lot of ...
