Summary: Not what I expected(2 and a half stars)
Review: I was so excited when I knew For the Love of Money was going to be a sequel to Flyy Girl. I couldn't wait to read it. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. This book was missing something. I found that the Tracy in this book had all the money and fame but was lonely and bitter. I mean I was expecting Tracy to at least find a man to share the rest of her life with in this book.(and I do not mean Victor) Another thing that bothered me was that Tracy went from teacher to big Hollywood star with no bumps in between. Omar also should not have mentioned himself in the book so much either. The poetry could have been excluded also. There was a part in the book where Jill Scott is mentioned but Tracy says that you know what to expect from her. Was that a dis to Jill Scott??? Anyway, St.Louis was horrible but please get A Do Right Man. I still have faith in you Omar.

Summary: Why Did you do it to your self? Why?
Review: Have you ever heard the saying that when something is good, leave it alone? Well Mr. Omar R. Tyree did the exact oppisite, "Flyy Girl" a perfectly good book, and he destroyed it, completly missed it up. Sometimes things don't need a sequel just leave it alone, yet he did it anyway, Tracy growing up is not what people wanted to read about, especially when she lived a life of 30 grown women when she was younger in "Flyy Girl" so what more could she have possibly experienced.

Summary: Terrible
Review: I never wrote a review on this book because I thought it was obvious. But this book was horrible. Fly Girl was good but this book sucked. Don't waste your time taking this out of library.This book was a waste of trees. For Real......

Summary: For the Love of Money
Review: I was real excited when I heard about a part two of Flyy Girl. But this book was very unrealistic. I mean, how many people do you know would go from being a school teacher to a screenwriter-actress just like that? And Mr. Tyree made Tracy's rise to fame seem so easy. Plus, I saw this novel as an opportunity for Omar Tyree to pump himself up by placing himself in the novel as the writer of Tracy's biography, Flyy Girl. Sorry, Omar, but you really bombed out on this one. And it's funny, I read an interview of his in which he was complaining about how he felt that people didn't take him seriously as a writer or something. This book gives you the reason why.

Summary: What happened?
Review: It took me so long to read this book. This book was a total waste of time. It was not close to as good as FLYY GIRL was and it was supposed to be the follow-up to it. He kept throwing me off with the past and the present for each chapter and those poems. It was not even close to what it could have been.

Summary: A very big disappointment
Review: I love Omar Tyree, and although I am a loyal fan, this book disappointed me more than a little bit. I dont think that Omar Tyree gave the Flyy Girl fans what they were looking for with this sequel. He should have never written a sequel, and my advice for anyone who is considering reading this book, DONT!!! It was a waste of time, and I was highly upset with the way that things turened out for Tracy and her first love, Victor Hinson. Im sure that a lot of Flyy Girl fans want to find out what ever happened with Tracy and Victor as wll as I did, and I wont tell the story, but I will say that Omar Tyree cheated fans on the whole Tracy and Victor ordeal, and I was so disappointed, that I regretted ever checking this book out from the library. The book was also hard to get into, boring, and all in all For The Love of Money was irrelavent to Flyy Girl.

Summary: A very big disappointment
Review: For all of you readers out there that enjoyed Flyy Girl, dont expect to enjoy For The Love of Money. It was a VERY big disappointment to me, especially what happened with Tracy and her first love Victor Hinson. This book wasnt as half as interesting or exciting as Flyy Girl, and I agree that this sequel should have never been written, because it is guaranteed to disappoint all of those who loved Flyy Girl.

Summary: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Review: I was in either middle or high school when I read this, and this was the book that everyone was talking about. I found this story to be incredible boring and a very bad follow up to Flyy Girl (even tho I didn't really get with that one). I just can't get with stories like this. I prefer more cleverly written stories than this one. It is an interesting read though. I also read Flyy Girl and feel the same way. I just think these books have a certain predictability to them. You might like it.

Summary: Omar killed it...
Review: If you want Tracy & Victor to live happily ever after don't read this book! Not only do they not get back together but what happened between them made it even worse! Omar how could you???!!! I almost wanted to cry as hard as Tracy! But Victor does bring up some valid points about why their love wasn't meant to be. I agree with alot of the reviews that this book is very hard hard to follow and get into to. I read Flyy Girl in 2 days & it's taking me forever to try to get through FTLOM. I had already read the reviews on here but I still decided to get it anyway because I wanted updates on Victor, Raheema, Mercedes & her family (where is Carmen, Bruce, Timmy, Cash & Jantel??). Pick this one up from the library if you can.
