Rating:  Summary: WASTE OF MONEY Review: After reading Flyy Girl (which I thought was very good), I could not wait to find out what happen to Tracy and the others. I started reading For the Love of Money more than one month ago and I am only on page 88. The writing was so poor that I had to go back a couple of times to be sure of what I had read. I don't usually like to put a book down before finishing it, but I could not even read this book while standing on a long line waiting for service - BORING. The more I read, the more I grew tired of this book. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.
Rating:  Summary: FOR THE LOVE OF WHAT? Review: VERY BOOOORING,SILLY,FAKELIKE AND AFTER READING THE COLDEST WINTER EVER I REALLY BECAME FRUSTRATED BY THIS BOOK! HOPEFULLY FLYY GIRL WILL BE A MUCH BETTER BOOK-WE WILL SOON SEE.
Rating:  Summary: "BOOOORING" Review: Oh my gosh, who even let this book be published? This book just had no plot, it floated from boring to even more boring. I was very disappointed in this book. I can't explain it any better than this. It was just BORING. I didn't bother finishing to read it. I think I stopped at page 200 and it has 400 and something pages total. That just goes to show you the book never picked up, even after page 200. There was no need for me to read any further. Now I'm not sure If I even want to get anymore of Mr. Tyree's books. For fear that they won't be any good either. But what the heck he's got to have a good one out their. So I think I'll continue to read his books. Hope I wont be disappointed again :( If you decide to get this book please check it out from the library . Remember I warned you.
Rating:  Summary: Atrocious, Outrageous, Ridiculous . . . . Review: Atrocious, Outrageous, Ridiculous . . . . are just some of the words that come to mind when I think of this book. I could go on and on with the name calling but I think you get the picture. Let me make it clear, I am not hating on Omar. I absolutely love him as a writer. I have read all his novels and he has only let me down once with "Single Mom". However, he has let me down BIG time with "For the Love of Money". I have been anxiously awaiting this book. However, as I began to read this thing I was mortified. I could not make it pass the fifth chapter. It was sooooo poorly written. It took me roughly 8 months to read this book. I kept putting it down and reading other novels. I finally finished the book two days ago. When I finished the last page, I was like "is that it". The begginning, middle and ending left much to be desire. This book is a definate, don't buy, don't borrow or don't check out. If your reading this Omar, please, please redeem yourself. Normally, I would buy anything with Omar's name on it without reading the jacket or thinking twice. However, I'm going to think three and four times before I do that again.
Rating:  Summary: Save your money!! Review: I highly recommend that you borrow this book from someone. It's not worth the money!!! I really wish that I could get my money back from this one. The story flip-flopped too much. It lacked substance and had no real purpose other than to make money because; everyone wants to know what happened to Tracey. A lot of the characters had no real purpose. For one, Tracey's young cousin. What was the point of her being mentioned? Not to mention that he threw himself into to the book as a character. That was just plain dumb to me. It was unrealistic and lacked focus. I have been a follower of Omar's work but this one was a waste of good trees. Fly Girl and Capitol City are definitely my favorites. And in my opinion his best work to date. Next book that he writes, I will check it out from the library.
Rating:  Summary: sorry, omar Review: did not feel it.i understand that you wanted readers to become reacquainted with tracy and what made her so fly (i'm not spelling it flyy) in the first place. that, i commend you for. what i did not appreciate was the fact that she was still acting like the same spoiled 14 year old that she was in the first book. i know people knocked the first book because of its melodrama, but it was supposed to be marketed towards teens, anyway. (any fool could see that) but the second book, tracy at 28 years old, is a rehash of tracy in 'flyy girl' (before she got afrocentric on me)
Rating:  Summary: If you value your money, don't buy this book Review: In a word, VAPID. If you just have to find out what became of Tracy: borrow the book from an uninformed friend; borrow it from the library; or peruse it in a bookstore because, in the final analysis, you will not care.
Rating:  Summary: If You Love Your Money, Don't BUY This Book Review: I will not bash Brother Tyree as a writer. His skills are not lacking at all. There just wasn't anything else we so feverishly needed to know about the main character. Some things are better left unsaid, or in this case; unread. Not everyone can crank out a masterpiece everytime they go out for one. I have to say that I have never been so disappointed. The dialogue was strained. The characters, including Raheema (my favorite from Flyy Girl) had no depth. The main character almost made me hate her completely with her numerous self-contradictions. It was almost as if the writer couldn't decide if he wanted her to BE fly or PLAY at being fly. Nonetheless, I will continue to be on the lookout for more of Brother Tyree's work. Best of luck, always.
Rating:  Summary: For the Love of Money...Dont Wastse Your Money! Review: I consider myself a big fan of Omar Tyree, and when i purchased this book i thought that this would better than the Flyy. It was a big yawnnn! tyree does not have any edge in this book, and does not do justice for the original Flynn Girl. No excitement, no real disappointments for his character Tracy, and no Man!! Omar...go back to the old days and find those true writing skills that you possesed in the past!!
Rating:  Summary: Library Book Review: If you want to read this book big suggesstion. Get it at the library like me and don't put down... dollars for this. It's very boring and Tracy doesn't have a man. No action or Drama either. This is the worst book i've ever read. Omar has really losed his touch for writing. His last two books ... as well. Please write another gooooooood book soon Omar.
