You did it again November 30, 2008
Wow, I thought I was back on "The Hill". So many references to people and places I remember from Fayetteville. Great read. Hard to put down.

Just OK to me! November 7, 2008
This book was just ok to me compared to the others books that I have ready by E. Lynn Harris. I thought the story line was a good one.. but "just too good to be true". The characters didn't seem very real to me. A little too far fetched in my opinion. On a scale from 1 to 10, I would give it a 7.
