Summary: The novel hooks you and won't let you free until is over
Review: I started the book on a quiet Saturday, and I was not able to concentrate in anything else until I was through the whole story. I liked it a lot. It makes you feel and live together with the characters.

Summary: GREAT READ/COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN
Review: LOVED IT! IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE WITH BLACK/WHITE RELATIONSHIPS, THAN YOU WILL WILL HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MILK IN MY COFFEE. BUT IF YOU FEEL TO EACH HIS OWN THAN IT IS A GREAT READ.

Rating:
Summary: Hated it!
Review: The only reason I give it 2 stars is because I love EDJ's book. I am a strong BLACK woman in love with a strong BLACK man. Personally I'm not big on the whole black/white dating for the simple fact that no one can understand a black man like a black woman and vice versa. Don't get me wrong I'm not racist I am just tired of us being described as loud, ignorant, and less than other races. For a black man to write something like this is totally disrespectful. Not to mention the ending was way off. Come on EDJ. Where my girlz at.

Summary: great read
Review: This was a great book, EJD's best yet. It started off really good and interesting, but then lagged off in the middle with the problems with Jordan's brother Reggie. I mean, it was interesting, but I really didn't see what it had to do with the story. But it picked up at the end again, when Kimberly's, Solomon's, and J'Nette's secrets come out. The characters were very believable (especially Jordan and Zoe). I give EJD 2 thumbs up for this one and I can't wait to read Cheaters.

Summary: Fabulous
Review: I truly enjoyed Milk in My Coffee. As a black woman involved in an interracial relationship, when I read about Kimberly and Jordan, I could have been reading my personal journal. The unexpected twists in the story kept me more than interested (taking a two hour and thirty minute lunch one day because I couldn't put it down...). Eric Jerome Dickey has a new fan!

Summary: True to life. Great story!
Review: Milk In My Coffee was a great story! I usually don't read much fiction, but this one caught my eye, being in an interracial relationship myself. I could really relate to the characters and what they had to endure from people of both races. It was true to life. I emailed Mr. Dickey personally and thanked him for a wonderful book!

Summary: more, more, more...
Review: i have read about 20 books this summer and milk in my coffee is the best by far. i felt like i knew all of the characters personally and felt very strong emotions about each of them. i loved kimberly and jordan together from the beginning. i wish that we could have seen jordan's relationships with his brothers develop a little more. also, i was wishing for a little more fanfare at the end but, all in all it was a great book that i read in less than 24 hours! looking forward to reading mr. dickey's next work.

Summary: First year college students love this book
Review: I am an eighteen year old black female. Well, I was really stepping out on a limb by reading this book, so I thought. I never liked the stereotypical "Waiting To Exhale" type stories so I stayed away from most modern Black fiction. The title and the book's cover caught my eye. I'd been looking at it from afar in Barnes and Noble for months. I was visiting my mom during my only weekend home from college. I saw the book and read the back and thought maybe it would be a good book to talk about to my friends in the college summer program that I am in. I couldn't put it down!! There have been few books in my life that I could hardly put down. I was reading it at mealtimes, during free periods and during study hall. Everyone started asking me " Is that a good book?" I would nod my head and turn the page. A third of the people in my dorm know about it and there is a waiting list to borrow it. I personally liked the fact that it was written from a man's point of view. For years men and women have expressed their positive and negative feelings about each other through music. Very rarely do you see books about African Americans and their relationships written in the guy's point of view. I liked the twists and turns, but the ending seemed like Dickey got tired of writing. I understand if he got tired, but it would have been worth the wait if it had taken months or even years to have ended it better. Eric Jerome Dickey , you get kudos from the Summer Transition Program sponsored by the Office of Multicultural Affairs at the College of William and Mary! We love your work!!! Keep it up!
