Back 2 Back: An Anthology Featuring the Best-Sellers B-Boy Blues and 2nd Time Around

Rating:
Summary: I laughed, cried and screamed all at the same time.
Review: I tried to give this book a chance. A lot of stories start off slow, right? Well, this story seemed to keep the same scheme throughout. It seems as if Mitchell's only quest in life was to make love to this man! I guess the book didn't hold any water to me because the entire story-line seemed to revolve around sex, and everything else was secondary. Yeah, sure they discussed love and relationships, but every 5 or 6 pages, someone was looking at someone else's booty! Is that the message the author is putting out about gay love? I'm not sure, but even in books based on heterosexual characters, sex isn't one of the main issues in the book! Another thing, it seems like "The Second Time Around" can't stand alone. It picks up exactly where "B-Boy Blues" leaves off! I know one is the sequal to the other, but to have to read the same story over again, but from a different point of view is asking a lot from the reader!

Review: These were the best book I've read. I related to the characters because they are universal. I'm not lesbian, but I identifed with the characters. James Earl Hardy is a great up and coming black author. I loved his work and I'm straight feenin' for some Mitchell and Raheim fix. Thank you Mr.Hardy for a classic story in my collection.

Summary: THIS IS THE GREATEST BLACK GAY LOVE STORY EVER TOLD.
Review: This book was awsome. The characters really came to life for me. Rahiem(Pooquie) and Mitchell(Little Bit) showed both sides of the coin. I used to be a B-Boy and when I found the love of my life, I had a lot of issues I had to deal with. At that time in my life, I really didn't know how to make any sense of the word "LOVE". Mr Hardy's explanations of why they were the way they werereally hit home. I can't wait for the next one. Keep up the great work.
