Summary: LOVE MY PAUL
Review: I have been a tempt fan every since Iwas 15,when they was on the Ed. SULLIVAN SHOW.lOVE MYSELF some Paul. The book cost me 139.00. The book is nothing like the movie,at times you thing you are reading about a different group.Each time you read something about the tempts its nothing like the movie.It doesnot matter I LOVE THEM. I am collecting videos, from timelife and rhino,there arenot many and a lot of them are not being print again. OH! go to a book store they have a list of book stores, that will find books that are no loner being publish.

Review: I HAVE NOT READ THE BOOK BECAUSE I CANNOT FIND IT. I KNOW THAT IT IS A GOOD BOOK BECAUSE THE MOVIE WAS THE BEST. I ONLY WATCHED IT EVERY NIGHT FOR THE FIRST TWO MONTHS AFTER IT AIRED. I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE CHARACTERS BECASUE THEY WERE SO REAL. I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THE BOOK IS OUT OF PRINT. I WAS ON A SPECIAL LIST AT THE LIBRARY BUT THAT WAS A YEAR AGO AND STILL NO BOOK. I DO HOPE THAT THE BOOK CAN BE PRINTED AGAIN BECAUSE THERE WAS SO MUCH LEFT OUT OF THE MOVIE THAT I WANT TO KNOW. I TOO WAS UPSET BECASUE THEY DID NOT HAVE A FUNERAL FOR DAVID AND EDDIE. ANYHOW, THE MOVIE WAS GREAT AND I KNOW THE BOOK IS TOO.

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: After seeing the movie 5million times (I too purchased the last copy at Circuit City) I had to have to book, no such luck. I had to go to the library and submit a special request--it took a few weeks but I got it!! Only bad part was that I had to return it--The book was wonderful-very well told-I really got into the characters--job well done. If if ever come to print again I will buy the book-Thanks and keep up the good work Otis and Patricia!!!

Summary: The Temptations
Review: I too have not read the book just yet. I am trying to obtain a copy, because I am SO IN LOVE with the movie. I just know the book has some additional information. I have seen the movie at least 15-20 times. I have it on VHS and DVD (for my portable DVD player when traveling). I just love to sing along with the songs during the movie and on the radio. I can see from the movie, that they were really JUMPING. Unfortunately, I was very young when the original Temptations were hot and did not get a chance to see them perform.

I wish the movie could've touched on more of the other members. I would love to know more about Melvin Franklin, David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks. Did either of them ever marry? As for David, I see in the movie, it touched on David being a little rough with Tammie Terrell. I know it was rumored that he had something to do with her death, but her death wasn't mentioned at all. I wish it had been.

The movie was great from the very beginnning. ALL the characters did an EXCELLENT JOB. However, I think some interesting information was missing towards the end of the movie because of the length. I could have watched another hour or so of that movie.

The movie was GREAT! I am sure the book is even better. Now, I just have to find myself a copy.

Summary: What really happened to Eddie Kendricks?
Review: I enjoyed the 1998 movie of "The Temptations". I grew up in the 60's therefore not really into R&B at that time, but now, I appreciate the music so much that I feel each member really put alot of effort into making the group a success. Aside from the downfalls that the group suffered, I would like to know what really happened to Eddie Kendricks. From the tabloids to rumors Eddie died from a drug overdose. The character (Terron) who played Eddie mostly had a cigarette in his hand if you noticed and it was also mentioned in the movie that it was lung cancer that caught Eddie - so I am confused as to Eddie's death. I was disappointed as to why Eddie and David did not have a funeral in the movie. I most of all enjoyed Eddie's music as I was growing up in the 70's and I miss him dearly. I would like to write to the character who portrayed Eddie and let him know that his character was played to perfection and that he does have some identical features like Eddie. May God bless the familes of the Temptations who have lost their love ones.

Summary: Generations of Love for the Temps
Review: First let me say that I have not read the book, but it is only because I have not found it yet. The movie is fantastic and we have enjoyed 100's of hours of song and fun watching it, so the book has to be awesome. I am just under 50 and I grew up with the music of the Temps in the "hood" of the south. It is a testament to the awesomeness of the Temptations, because my children also have fallen in love with the Temptations. My 26 yr. old collects every Temp CD available, my daughter (27) has fallen in love with Paul (the movie star) along with one of my sisters and 2 of my neices.

My family was introduced to this movie after the funeral of my 18 yr. old nephew and I must say that it was a God-send. It allowed for a breath of fresh air, laughter, fun, music and even tears. At my mother's 76th birthday celebration instead of singing Happy Birthday to her, the KIDS all sang..."My Girl" to her. This movie has brought many, many hours of happiness into the lives of everyone in this family and we only wish we had copies of the book now. I cherish the memory of enjoying the Tempations Reunion Tour in Memphis, TN, and I can share that with my children as we watch the movie, but there are things that only the book can bring to their hunger for information. My hats off to Otis for his open and honest portrayal of one of the world's greatest R&B groups ever... The Tempations. This movie like the group, will never die.
