Summary: Omar Tyree,"Leslie"
Review: I really enjoyed reading this book,it was very well written.The reason I like it so much is because I used to stay in New Orleans and I could really relate to every scene in the book .The only thing I disliked about the book was the ending.I wish a little bit more was said about Leslie and how her friends felt about the situation.I am hoping for a sequel.Great book!

Summary: Arrogant book written by an arrogant author
Review: This book was disappointing. The idea was creative and had great potential but... it wasn't written very well and it screamed of Omar's arrogance. The book is extremely slow for the first half of the book and doesn't start to pick up until Leslie kills someone. While Leslie is an interesting character, the murder she commits doesn't make any sense and there's no real reason for her to do them. The setting for the novel, being in New Orleans at a historically black college, is fine but the whole Voodoo idea needs to be researched some more because it was stereotypical. I won't give it away, but the ending was horrible. No closure what-so-ever. You're left feeling dumbfound after finishing this book. It's almost like Omar finished the book that way so he can do a sequel. Bad idea. Please don't do a squeal. There's no more story to do a squeal and it's going to be just as bad as, "For the Love of Money". I work at a bookstore were Omar had a book signing and at the time, I thought, I had the pleasure of meeting the author who wrote Leslie. I'm glad I had the chance to meet him AFTER I read the book; otherwise I wouldn't have read it. It's a shame that some authors who become big successes (because of us!) have to turn into jerks.

Summary: WOW!!!
Review: This book was the best book i have ever read. Omar Tyree gets better and better. Of all his books i've read, this is the best yet. Leslie, the main character was a strong, powerful young black woman. I could relate to some of the things and attitudes she showed and had towards others. She stood up for her heritage and family proudly, being a minority.I would this book again. The only bad thing about this book is the ending. He left us hanging at the end.Omar should have a sequel in the works.

Summary: Not a good book from Omar.
Review: This book was long and boring, I hoped that this would be like some of his early work, but I ended up being let down.This book that was to be a little scary and about voodoo had nothing to do with either one. All of the things that are happing in the book are things she is doing with her own two hands. the book just didn't flow

Summary: This book ...!!
Review: It was a struggle to finish reading this book! It was highly unrealistic. And it was very annoying reading the French and the English translation. I also found that Omar Tyree treated his reader as an idiot as he still felt the need more than half way thru the book to keep saying "Her sister, Latecia" well hello I already know, that is her sister!! Don't get me wrong I liked his other books but I just think he really fell off with this one. I'm really surprised I finished it.

Summary: Pleased reader
Review: The book did a very good job of depicting Creole culture. This is the first book I have read that does true justice to capturing the styles of African-American sub-cultures and pulling them together into one story. The characters and the sub-culture from which they emerge are well described. However, when I turned the last page, I was still left with wanting more. I hope this book is not the last we hear from the Chocolate Crew.

Summary: Very Interesting Page Turner...........
Review: After making the decision to read LESLIE, I was not at all disappointed. This engrossing tail evolves around an extremely beautiful, yet complicated young woman who's the daughter of a Haitain immigrant, once of wealth and later diminished to poverty, who's now a college student struggling for success. Her friends see her as a girl likely to succeed yet extremely private. Her family knows her as sort of the "backbone" of the family, having been their for both her sister who's a high school drop-out, mother of two and madly in love with her baby's daddy and her brother who's never been able to stand up for anyone, including himself. Leslie soon discovers something of herself, making her friends and non-relatives around her quickly realize just how much they don't know about the beautiful, captivating and very private Leslie Beaudet, so much so that Leslie's discovery changes her life and those of her family, friends and the entire community forever to come. A page turner filled with desire, struggles, power and many secrets, you are surely going to quench your thirst for a good read with this one!

Review: Some of the language was EXTREMELY STRONG...okay most of the language was extremely strong. However, it was a quick read that had a plot that kept me interested. It was suspenseful, and an unexpected delight.
