Summary: Gotta be a sequel
Review: This story was seriouly crucial. It was off the hook! Leslie was crazy as hell. I can't believe what her brother did in the end. Anyways, you gotta read this book, it will really make think about that Voodoo stuff. I loved the fact that they spoke french being that I, myself, have been learning french for the past 2 years. I can't express in words how good this book was. JUST READ IT!

Summary: Wonderful
Review: Mysterious, captivating thats how decribe Omar Tyree's latess book. Leslie had me caught up right from the start and held me straight to the end. I could barely stand to put the book down it was that good. It's about a co-ed girl with a Haitian desent. She gets caught up in her life, family, men, sex and voodoo.

Summary: Not Mr. Omar's Best Work
Review: "Leslie" was a disappointment. I gave it 2 stars for the characters, who were believable for the most part. There was the potential for a good plot, but it fell apart because of the "choppiness." Also, there was too much reading of the characters' minds. The story centers around Leslie, a college student of Haitian descent, who basically makes her own trouble. On the outside, Leslie appears to have it together--brains, beauty, a quick with, studious. Leslie is angry at her brother, Pierre, because of unresolved issues with a tragic situation from the past. Throughout the book, the college students sound like anything but. Broken English, dropped word endings, and too much profanity. By the time a person is a sophomore in college, one should have developed better speaking skills. Another incongruity is that Leslie's sister and brother both speak fluent French, but when speaking in English, it's ghettoese. I also want to know what is going to happen to Mr. Beaudet, and the old priestess that Leslie met on the bus. I kept reading, hoping the story would fall into place, but we are lead to what we hope is an exciting ending, only to be let down. I think if Mr. Tyree had put "Leslie" away for a while, then picked it up and re-read it with a fresh look, he may have been moved to give it a serious rewriting. Add some serious research on voodooism, and he would have had a winner. After "Flyy Girl," which I really enjoyed, "Leslie" was a letdown. Mr. Tyree might consider doing a sequel, and spend more time developing the plot and character interaction.

Summary: Good, but different!!
Review: Leslie was a good read, but a little different. I found the book to be scary at times. The end appeared to be cut short.
Possible a little more could of been written to tell what happened after Leslie was committed for the murders. But other than that, it was a good read!!

Summary: One of Omar Tyree's Best!!!!
Review: I really enjoyed this book. Omar Tyree took a different turn by writing a scary novel. The lead character Leslie is a beautiful Haitian girl who is attending Dillard University. Her life is very stressful due to her three roommates, her teenage mom of a sister, and a brother who let her down when in childhood. All together, life comes crashing down on her and the only way she thinks can solve her problems is to murder the ones who stand in her way of achieving peace in her life. This book will have you wanting to read more and more until you are at the edge of your seat.

Summary: Very Bad
Review: Leslie and Diary of a Groupie, Mr. Tyree's two most recent books have been horrible. Leslie was a terrible story that was too long and just seemed thrown together. There really was no reason for the murders to take place and the whole voodoo portion of the book was just thrown in there to add some spunk which didnt work. I'm glad I bought this book used, but still mad I even wasted [$$] on it.

Summary: A Meaning
Review: I thought the novel "Leslie" by Omar Tyree was a great read and it brought forth key issues in society. Though it is supposed to be a horror and has underlying tones of voodoo and drugs but it does display the horrible living conditions of american society and how the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Tyree uses the voodoo maybe for the actual storyline but one can dig deeper and the many inferences to the ghetto and how America is not all that it seems. I recommend this book for all because though i have never experienced all the harshness this world offers i know there are those that have and this book simply makes light of what needs to be changed.

Summary: Leslie
Review: This book was GREAT... Omar Tyree does it once a again. Leslie is a independent black woman who will not let anything get in her way and she keeps her personal life to herself she also takes pride in her family. Everyone wants to know about this secret life that Leslie has. The story is filled with romance, hiphop culture and mystery....
