Summary: Pretty good but could have been better.
Review: I rarely do any reading, but this book came highly recommended. Throughout the first third or less of the book, it kept me reading. There is mentioning of the main characters family throughout this part, but it wasn't a main focus. Then it changed. Dickey went through a huge section of the novel talking about the main characters family relationship and a visit; that would have been cool if that's what the book was about! After reading the rather uninteresting part about his trip, I found it very hard to get back in the feel of the story.Overall it is a nice book to read. It could actually be considered insightful when it comes to various persons thinking processes concerning interracial dating.

Summary: Expected so much more...........
Review: This is the first book I have read by Eric Jerome Dickey. After hearing so much about his books and how great they were, I finally bought one to read. Boy! was I disappointed, I expected so much more from the book. There were certainly some unexpecteds in this storyline, but ultimately it left me thinking where is the rest of the book? It seemed unfinish! I'd be hard pressed to buy another one of his books.

Summary: Without or without coffee
Review: I'm an African-American young lady and I recommend all my sisters to read this interesting book. One point that Eric Dickey made in this book is how our African Queens react when they see interracial couples. The looks, the remarks, the bad language that some of us uses. I don't have a problem with interracial dating. But my sisters do read and enjoy.

Summary: Interesting read...
Review: I really enjoyed this book. This is a first I've read of EJD's works and I thoroughly enjoyed it. However, I felt that J'nette's character (and all of the other black women) could've been written a little better. Not all of us have these "bad attitudes." The sudden juicy plot twists kept me guessing and turning pages. But I didn't see a real need for Reggie and Darrell's story and the trip to Memphis. This threw off the topic at hand for a second. Nevertheless, it was a fantabulous story (as EJD would say) and I look forward to reading his previous works.

Summary: Interesting Story, A Bit Jumpy
Review: Although the narration of the story is a bit jumpy, this book is provacative only because of the subjects that are brought up. I call the narration "jumpy" because of the tangents that detract from the central storyline of the couple with different skin tones. The main story is definitely commendable. Eric Jerome Dickey explores racial lines in a very sophisticated, interesting manner. It seems that there is an unwritten rule that a person born to a black mom and a white dad is automatically considered to be black. That is what Dickey focuses on. He honestly represents racism not only between whites and blacks, but racism in between members of the black race. That is often a difficult subject to broach, yet Dickey does it fairly and realistically. A great read that gives you something to think and talk about when you are done.

Summary: ANOTHER BESTSELLER ! Eric does it again! BRAVO
Review: Once again Eric Jerome Dickey has written another outstanding book. I could hardly wait for the release of Cheaters after reading this one. I got the book as Christmas gift for myself and what a treat! I found myself wanting more. It's a book worth reading again and sharing with others. If you've considered interracial dating or simply have an interest this is the book for you. It explores love, truth and honest and the price we must sometimes pay to have them and the one we love.

Summary: African American women must read!
Review: As an African American woman, this book really open my views on interracial dating. As an African American woman I believe that a great deal of us are so appauled at the sight of a black man and a white woman. Eric Jerome Dickey touched on a sour spot of a successful African American man who is dating a white woman. I enjoyed the character Jordan Greene in which he had a conscience always thinking about what his fellow race would think about this interracial dating. I liked the way Jordan and Kimberly met as well. So many of us (African American women) always assume that black men are always looking for a white woman. In this case Jordan was trying to get home and so was Kimberly. Eric also touched on the beauty of African American women, and his character Jordan came out of a relationship with a black woman. This book was very hillarious because it pointed out how some black woman behave when they see a white woman on a brothers arm. Although I do not really approve of interracial dating, this book open my eyes seeing that Love does not have a color.

Summary: An interesting read
Review: I wasn't going to read this book but its subject was provoking. Eric Jerome Dickey is not a male Terry Macmillan - he stands on his own. In a country, where interracial relationships are now becoming the norm, this book was on target. Furthermore, the old saying never judge a book by its cover was appropriate. Just having that twist in the book made it worth buying. It did drag a little at the beginning but the end was ... whew. Interesting point was to see how EJD was able to provide a woman's perspective.

Summary: BOOK TALK QUESITONS
Review: MY FRIENDS AND I HAVE ORGANIZED A BOOK CLUB AND OUR FEATURED BOOK FOR THE MONTH IS MILK IN MY COFFEE. I FELT THAT THIS BOOK WAS TAKING ME IN TOO MANY DIRECTIONS, SO MANY THAT I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN FOR TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN NEXT. I APPLAUD MR. DICKEY ON HIS WAY OF DEALING WITH EACH OF HIS CHARACTERS. EACH CHARACTER HAD HIS OWN ELEMENT OF SURPRISE. I AM REALLY INTERESTED IN SOME BOOKTALK QUESTIONS FOR THIS BOOK.

Summary: A MASTER PIECE
Review: DICKEY brilliantly combined black and white in a unique format. This book is enjoyable if you have an OPEN mind and DON'T try and see it as Mr. Dickey degrading black people in this novel. I liked this book because it is obvious DICKEY did his research. For every person mentioned in this book I knew the same kind in my life. I think one must have a deep thinking mind in order to understand this masterpiece. This novel went beyond black and white-it brought the reader to a lot of stereotypes such as ALL white girls are bad in bed or ALL black women are uneducated. I disagree with A LOT of the rookie critics in here that say that Dickey did not present black people in a POSITIVE light. Well what's MORE positive than an African woman(j'nette's friend) giving words of wisdom. Or the fact that J'nette actually having a job(you know most people stereotype black women as lazy and unemployed with a bunch of babies)? I personally admired J'nette's strength and businesswoman-like personality. To me she represented the IDEAL Black Woman(money-wise). I believe that most of the blacks in this novel had some kind of positivity linked to them even whats her name(you know the girl who kicked Jordan in the balls or was that his brother-sorry been awhile since i read the book). In all I think Dickey did an EXCELLENT job in showing how interracial dating can work. His writing style is waaaaay above average and his subplots are on target. For example, I loved the way he compared city life to country life and the different types of behaviors it gave people.Of course if you were simple minded then you would not have caught on that Dickey was ALSO using the country life and city life as interracial dating symbolism. When he went down south that represented Jordan and New York Represented Kimberly. If you have a critical thinking mind then you will LOVE this book because it is obvious that no average minded person can read such brilliance. Keep bangin' on wax Mr. Dickey. And you better believe that I am going to get your newest books peace, mic-12
