Rating: Summary: God's Gift to Women Review: God's Gift is a page-turner. I found the authors raw, reality-based characters to be entertaining and personable. I really enjoyed the inserts of poetry - "Moving On" is an anthem for those that are perplexed about ending an unsalvageable relationship. I purchased the Poetry CD "The Sista Factor" (Live) - it was advertised in the back of the book - I can only describe it in one word INCREDIBLE. The CD plays like a live stage play and brings all the words to life - b.r.burns is truly a talent. Michael has found a gem. I highly recommend both - its a package deal, they both compliment each other so well.

Rating: Summary: Bestseller, Micahel Baisden! Review: Another triumph for the relationship "bad boy" Michael Baisden! God's Gift is a fast-paced romantic thriller set in the ultra hip mecca's of Chicago and Houston's late night radio scene. It's funny and deep all at the same time and it gets the "fatal attraction" message across very effectively. As with all his books, you can hear the authors wit and wisdom in the dialogue of the characters. This is a well-written book and it's sure to be another bestseller! -ES

Rating: Summary: An entertaining yet cautious tale Review: Julian Payne is trying to make a new start in life. He and his 10-year-old daughter Samantha move from Chicago to Houston so he can begin a job as a big time radio talk show host. But one tiny thing happens before he moves that spills itself over into his new life: He makes the mistake of meeting Olivia Brown, beautiful on the outside, deranged on the inside. After one night of unforgettable sex, Olivia can't get Julian out of her mind; especially after he makes his intentions clear. He had fun, but now it's time to go on. She should accept and understand that, but even when there's a supposed understanding between a man and woman, things can still become murky and out of control. God's Gift to Women is a fast, lightweight, and funny read that may remind some of The Maintenance Man. The action is swift, with a little bit of behind-the-scenes insight of urban talk radio in America. The most emotional part comes from the appearance of Samantha, Julian's spunky daughter who seems a lot older than her age. On the constructive side, the book has numerous typos which hopefully can be corrected when the book goes into a second printing. But more importantly, the book does show how frightening it can be for a man who is stalked, and how emotional women can become if they have a different understanding when it comes to their relationship with a man that they feel they love.
Rating: Summary: DID NOT LIKE Review: I did not like this book. It started off slow and gets even slower in the middle. It was a good story line though. Just was not written well.
Rating: Summary: Michael Baisden is the man!!! Review: I'm not going to give a synopsis of the book, because other people have done that already. What I will say is that this brother has done it again, and I must say that every book he writes I go buy. That's saying enough. Go purchase it and enjoy!
Rating: Summary: I MUST SAY...... Review: This is another book I've read in one day oh my Goodness this book was GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREAT!!!!! and I recommend this to all people including men...what always look good isn't.. that's the message this book sends out hey they need to make a movie out of this book!!!!!
Rating: Summary: Don't waste your time! Review: Thanks to Hurricane Frances I was marooned in the house for four days without anything else to read, else I would never have made it to the end. Forget the editing problems, the story itself is unoriginal but if the writing was fresher it could still have been interesting. This book is basically a black version of the movie "Fatal Attraction" minus the rabbit boiling on the stove. The most promising thing about it was the first chapter, which opens with Julian being shot. Too bad it goes downhill from there. The more I read, the more I disliked him and hoped he would get his comeuppance.
Rating: Summary: God's Gift Needs an Editor! Review: I've read plenty of books in my 48 years, and maybe that is why I'm attuned to fine writing that flows evenly. I did not find this one to be so smooth. Toward the end, I found the writing to be quite...well, choppy and juvenile. Doesn't Simon and Schuster employ editors anymore to review a book before it goes to print? If so, why were so many punctuation and sentence errors allowed to pass muster? I am not a Language Arts teacher, but for heaven's sake, any student could spot the many careless mistakes someone allowed to slip by, starting with the prologue on page 5 in the second to last paragraph. The entire book is written in the 'first person' except for chapter 33. What's up with that? As I was reading, I had to pause and consider who 'Julian' WAS, because up to that point, JULIAN WAS TELLING THE STORY and was referred to as 'I'. I can't believe many other intelligent readers didn't catch that! Shame on you publishers for not seeing that the final product was proofread and properly critiqued. This book was lent to me and I doubt that I would ever purchase a novel by Michael Baisden. I might read another one, but my money won't leave my hands.
