Summary: Yo Flyy Girl
Review: She's back and bigger than ever. The sequal might not live up to the original, but this book is filled with heart, soul and energy and definitely worth reading. If you like this you should also check out Sweet St. Louis. Omar Tyree is #1 on black love.

Summary: For The Love of Money
Review: I could not get through the first chapter. Very disappointing follow up novel to Flyy Girl, which I enjoyed very much. I found that I was forcing myself to finish when I asked, "Why waste time on this book when there are so many talented Afro-American writen books I could be enjoying."

Summary: DECEPTION at it's best!
Review: The original title, Flyy Girl, was such an awesome book. But on the cover of For The Love Of Money, it says, "Flyy Girl Returns". To what? On the inside of this book, the acknowledgements read in part "Well...I'm back And I heard that you missed me." What I missed was.... a good story between the front of the jacket cover and the back. What happened? Why deceive us? One would think that while a reader can appreciate Tracy growing up and becoming a star as the author wants you to believe, what ever happened to real life drama on the way up to stardom? Tracy is still a very young woman, under thirty and as self centered as she was, I could think of many ways to have added at least a plot of some sort to keep my readers interested. The selected few who've read this book, kept reading, not because of the words on the pages, but because they invested a weeks worth of gas money and felt compelled to use it up. I was going to return this book directly to the publisher with a letter of apology for buying the wrong book or at least a sympathy letter for them having to publish it. But I've since decided to keep it and check it out like libraries do. I wouldn't want anyone else having to waste money like this. There are some good parts about the publishing of this book. To begin, Omar Tyree knows he's got a seller with this book simply because of the cover and it's an alleged part II. Omar Tyree also did something very unique in that he wrote in the past and present with each chapter and he's obviously a brilliant business person in his ability to create an attraction. The unfortunate part is that he omits realism with what can really happen to a young woman from the east coast coming to the west coast and encoutering true friendship, love, betrayal and deception, in a "full of drama" kind of way. This book just lacks a story!

Summary: "Loved It"
Review: Tracey Ellison Grant is back!!! She has grown from the spoiled little girl that she was when we left her. She is someone who is around my age going after what she wants . And unlike a lot of books out there her primary focus is not a man. The poetry added even more appeal to the book. And for those of you who hated to hear "Flyy Girl" the movie mentioned so much please try to remember that Omar Tyree has not yet gained the following of someone like E.Lynn Harris ,if you don't toot you own horn who will. This is a must read.

Summary: Garbage In is Garbage Out!
Review: Bro' Omar, what were you thinking? That you could throw a bunch of silly mix-matched words on paper just to call it a book? Or maybe you were on a tight dead-line for the publishing company and they had to put something/anything on the market. Whatever the case, you did yourself and your fans a serious disservice in penning For The Love of Money. I don't have to be a playa-hater to call trash exactly what it is. I liked Flyy Girl, but this mess doesn't even deserve to be called a book. If this is all it takes to write a book and get paid, I'm starting mine as soon as I finish typing this message.

Summary: Slow Let Down......
Review: I bought this book with high expectations... because even though I didn't necessarily like "Fly Girl".. I was anxious to see how Tracy grew up. This book... is perposterous at best. I thought that the storyline would be much better than it was!! Tracy's character wasn't ever really defined... and though this book was a sequel... I never got the sense that she ever really grew up. This book is a definite no-brainer... and best left on the shelf... unless you are going through a stressful time in your life... and need to read about someone even more silly that you are...

Summary: Tracey is back
Review: Tracey is as sassy and tough as ever. Perhaps some people don't like a strong woman with a vision, but I think Tyree has done a great job here in bringing back one of the most exciting figures in black publishing back to life.

Summary: what a tremendous waste of time and energy!!!!!!
Review: I ACTUALLY HAD TO GIVE THIS MESS ONE STAR!!! I expected so much more from Omar Tyree! There seems to be no earthly reason for the book to be read. It it boring, tired and a very dull conclusion to "FLYY GIRL". I only have a question for Omar Tyree...WHY????

Summary: Believe me, It did NOT deserve the one star...
Review: I only wish i could have said zero stars. That book is a trip. It took too much concentration to focus on the book. What the world was he thinking? I thought i was trying to read BELOVED again. And ya know that was a headache to read. (I still love you Oprah). Please i beg of you....do not read this book. Flyy girl was enough....

Summary: IF THIS WAS A MOVIE...
Review: THIS WOULD BE TWO RUNGS BELOW...I DON'T THINK THERE'S EVER BEEN A MOVIE BAD ENOUGH TO COMPARE THIS TO. THE NEXT BOOK SHOULD BE CALLED "FLYY GIRL: THE APOLOGY." HATED IT LIKE I DO THE CRAMPS... BUT AT LEAST THE CRAMPS KEEP MY ATTENTION. LIKE SOMEBODY ELSE SAID, I'M ON THE WAY OUT THE DOOR, THIS BOOK IN ONE HAND, MY RECEIPT IN THE OTHER. IF ANYBODY ELSE FEELS THE SAME WAY, WE CAN CARPOOL BACK TO THE SHRINE OF THE BLACK MADONNA.
