Summary: Great Cliffhanger, but I'm still hanging
Review: Let me start with, I read "My Soul to Keep" first. Absolutly, the best book I ever read. So, I ran out and bought "The Between". I thought it was a great book, all the way to the end. But that last page left me hanging; a little disappointed. I'm not sure I got it. I hate I've missed it and would love to give it a second look. If anyone is interested in sharing their thoughts, please email me.Ms. Due, I can't wait for "Dawit, Part II"

Summary: The Future is Bright for Ms. Due
Review: Ms. Due definately has a career ahead of her as a best selling novelist. If works like this are any indication, Science Fiction will be taken to an entirely new level. I'm not normally a fan of the Genre but I can't wait to read anything Ms. Due writes. This book keeps your interest from page 1. Makes you afraid to fall asleep at night, and sticks with you for a long time. I suggest you get a Tananarive Due shelf in your library and fill it up with everything she writes.

Summary: Between Tension & Horror - A Very Good Read
Review: Tananarive Due twists the reader through an emotionally charged spoof about the grey area between life and death. Hilton James is a terrific character, who exhausts the reader with a nightmarish sleeping disorder. I found myself rooting for his and my relief. Very satisfying ending.

Summary: GOOD FICTION WITH A SUPERNATURAL THEME
Review: The Between is a good first novel by a talented writer. It's a good niche category for the writer, too. Supernatural-themed fiction with black characters. Hey, it was pretty scary

Summary: Is Hilton Losing It?
Review: The Between was an interesting story about a man, Hilton, who started feeling like he was losing his grip on reality. He wasn't sure if he was hallucinating or if he was just flat out going crazy, but he knew someone was after his family and he was determined to protect his wife and children. This book grabbed me from the beginning pages and I just remained captivated by this story until I finally reached the end. This was a story that just fascinated me because Tananarive Due tells a patient story of a man whose life was turned upside down after an accident. I know that there are readers out there who didn't really care for this story, especially after reading My Soul To Keep, but I loved this story too, just in a different way. I think that Ms. Due is a very versatile writer and she seems to be able to pull off different styles of writing very effectively. Those looking for the suspense and action of My Soul To Keep might be ultimately disappointed but those looking for an interesting, well-told psychologically gripping story should give The Between a try.

Summary: There's No Such Thing as Dreams
Review: This is a great psychological thriller mixing traditional African and Caribbean spirituality with modern social problems. The main character Hilton thinks he's going insane with nightmares about death and threats to his family, but he is really tuning in subconsciously to the realm of "The Between"- between life and death. Tananarive Due incorporates fascinating concepts from Ghanaian and Haitian mythology to construct this haunting dimension, in which life and death converge to affect waking reality in disturbing ways. Meanwhile, the action of the story involves a white supremacist who is supposedly stalking Hilton's wife, a prominent black judge. But the racist villain might only be a tool for darker forces yearning for an underworld-style vengeance on Hilton, who has an unknown genetic affinity with such forces of life and death. I agree with a few other reviewers that these supernatural phenomena are a bit under-explained in the narrative, while the hereditary angle in which Hilton may have passed things on to his children is introduced but dropped inconclusively. However, the characters are uniformly well-drawn and empathetic, and overall this is a winning suspense novel with a very creative ethnic twist on the supernatural. [~doomsdayer520~]

Summary: Due Doesn't Disappoint
Review: What Dues has done is pen a well paced intriguing story which is peppered with the nuances and idioms of the characters who populate its pages. All of which, people of our color and even
those who are not can relate too. A co-worker recommended Due's work to me and I seem to be somewhat hooked. This is a well-paced work that you'll find hard to but down till the last page. I look forward to reading her next
work "My Soul To Keep".
