Rating: Summary: FEELIN HOT!! HOT!! HOT!! Review: I am so in love with E. Lynn Harris' novels. Abide With Me was yet another great novel by this great author.This novel was sooo good, I read it in 2 days. Mr. Harris, keep up the good work and I look forward to more of your novels in the future. Is it true that there is going to be a sequel to Abide With Me? If not, you should strongly think about it. Peace and Blessings!! Your #1 Fan from Ft. Washington, MD
Rating: Summary: Very Exciting Book!!! Review: I will have to read the first two books now. Looking for more. Keep up the GREAT WORK!
Rating: Summary: A captivating novel that unties the ribbons of your heart. Review: I really thought ths was a wonderful book. Then too, I knew it would be because I have read all of Harris' other novels. I sort of skipped over "If This World Were Mine" because I wanted to read the trilogy of Raymond, Nicole, Jared, and others. But I will be reading "If This World Were Mine" soon. I enjoyed the way Nicole and Jared made up after having an explosive argument. I also enjoyed the way Harris put Nicole and Jared's love as abiding, as he titled this book. I am looking forward to reading his sixth novel, and I hope that others will enjoy reading this book as much as I did. E. Lynn Harris is a remarkable author.
Rating: Summary: Joyful Review: I feel quite fortunate to have an E. Lynn Harris on the literary circuit. Embracing the full scope of one's identify is quite a struggle; but I find that with each Harris novel I've read, he's helped me move a little closer to the light that encompasses the totality of who I am. Through realistic characters and even more realistic experiences, Harris validates the complexities of relationships and offers hope that in the spirit of love and forgiveness, joy is obtainable and sustainable. Abide With Me delivers the life experiences of its characters with clear narrative and passionate rhythm. The book is both emotionally satisfying and at times spiritually enriching. Embrace this book with everything you have, and when you're done, sit back and reflect on how much you've been given.
Rating: Summary: This man knows how to tell a story! Review: E. Lynn manages to capture you from the very beginning. I have read all of his novels and am still hungry for more. He makes the characters leave the page and you can actually envision them as friends or family members you might have. E. Lynn also talks about homosexuality without the echoes of shame or embarassment that usually accompany the subject. It's refreshing to get past the sexuality to the deeper human emotions in so many relationships. Can hardly wait for the next one.
Rating: Summary: He's no James Baldwin Review: I've read all of E. Lynn Harris' novels and each time I'm left wondering why. Abide With Me is so badly written that I find it hard to believe it was edited at all. As a matter of fact, his writing is so flawed that I was unable to get into the story. The subject matter is unbelievable and extreme; the characters are so one-dimensional they've become caricatures; and the only thing that I can give Mr. Harris credit for is the fact that he was able to dupe someone into publishing this. I would suggest a writing seminar for the author and request that he take a break before writing anything else.
Rating: Summary: He's done it again!!!!!!! Fabulous Review: E.Lynn harris has once again captured my heart.This novel picks up right where he left off. Every moment of reading was exciting,I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. Not to mention I've missed my stop on the train due to the book's intense story lines. Excellent read!!! (but not on the train)
Rating: Summary: Wishing for more!! Review: I thought the book was pretty good, but for some reason I was looking for more. I guess I felt the book should have built more on Basil's doctor situation. Even though he made some progress, I believe we should have been able to realize more progress. I personally did not think Basil progressed enough. There were other situations that I believe should have been included in the book, such as, Nicole discovering that Ava was Yancey's mother, something in reference to Nicole and Jared finally getting a child some kind of way, etc. But overall the book was pretty decent and I can't wait until E. Lynn Harris writes another book. I hope the wait is not too long.
Rating: Summary: To know all characters--read If This World Were Mine 1st Review: This was a good book; however, I find it to be a bit misleading. This book is introduced as the conclusion in the Invisible Life and Just As I Am series; however, its speaking of characters MONTY, YOLANDA, DWIGHT who were not in either one of those books but in his last book IF THIS WORLD WERE MINE. If a person were just jumping on the Harris Train then they would probably read this book after his first 2 books because its advertised as being the conclusion in that trilogy and would be totally lost and wondering who these other characters are. Other than that I like E Lynn Harris, and even though this is not as interesting as the first 2 books it was still interesting to see how more confused BASIL can be about his denial on his sexuality.
Rating: Summary: Abide With Me Review: I think Abide With Me was the most interesting book that I have read all YEAR" he writes about love regradless. Either if it's between men and women, or men and men. Cause has noo color or form.And his book let's you know just that, And his work is just great. And he's books all ways have some type of meaning to it. His Books are very real and alive.
