Silk Sheets

Rating:
Summary: "A" for effort but lacking in depth
Review: James D. Jackson writes a good story but lacks in overall quality. This would be a great book for people just getting into the habit of reading, however, for those people who are well read, this story leaves you wanting more. The first three chapters use the first person narative for three different characters. Where that has an interesting perspective, it disrupts the flow of the story causing for the reader to stay confused or reread several portions to get the story straight. On a positive note, the story does a good job at developing the character's desire to fully understand themselves and their life problems. I do not recommend this book to well read people.

Summary: Short and Sweet!
Review: Loved it! This book was short and sweet. I hadn't been reading in a while and decided to pick up this book because the cover was so beautiful. The story was good but it was shorter than I had hoped.

Summary: Sexy, Educational and Cool!
Review: Silk Sheets is like no other book I have ever read. Tanya Brown is a beautiful, chocolate, Serena Williams look-a-like, with the body to match. This author creates the scene of intimacy with greater detail than I am used to seeing in novels. And don't let me forget to mention the ending. It doesn't leave you hanging like other authors I know. This book is good to the last drop. It's far from predictable and it has a strong educational message. Believe me when I say, you won't be disappointed!

Rating:
Summary: I couldn't agree more, off the chain!!
Review: This book is off the chain! I couldn't put this book down. I took this book to the bathroom and restuarants, until I finished it! I truly enjoyed the lesbian twist! If you want a down to earth, funny, intimate love story, Silk Sheets is it!

Summary: Good Try!
Review: When read the reviews about Silk Sheets, I bought the book with anticipation. I was expecting an intelligent novel about the lesbian lifestyle with a little erotica thrown in for fun. Now what I got was a trite, unorganized novel. I applaud James D. Jackson for his effort to create a story about alternate lifestyles, but the endeavor was lost between the grammatical errors and inconsistencies. The characterizations could have been a lot better; adding names to each chapter so we don't get confused as to who is speaking would help. And this novel really does nothing to help the perceptions of lesbians. In fact, this book was somewhat demeaning. Does Donna's mother, the so-called "sociologist," really have to be held as a genius when her theory of homosexuality is so incorrect? I can't believe that an educated woman would spout garbage like that; every lesbian has not been molested, raped or had a bad experience with men. The bad thing about this book is that people who don't know better will buy into this stereotype. Please don't believe the hype. Try reading more realistic novels like "Loving Her" by Ann Shockley or "Water in a Broken Glass" by Odessa Rose. You'll get a lot more out of them.

Summary: Dearest Samantha
Review: Your ignorance clearly comes rushing forth in your rebuttal. I did not state that I personally read the book several times. However, some of my friends did. I elected to submit the summary on behalf of several others, which apparently did not cross your mind. You chose to jump to conclusions first without regard to the possibilities.
Secondly, I commented on what I found to be positive (once again something that you chose to overlook) and then made the recommendation for the well read not to read it, not everyone in general. My recommendation to you, sweet Samantha, is to visit your local debate team and take notes.
