Summary: What kind of retarded name is that? huh?
Review: This book, bieng a member of Oprah's Book Club, is only suitable for starting fires. I would not read it if you paid me. Oprah should go away and never come back. So there. (Feel free to sent all kinds of nasty hate mail. I like it.)

Summary: Good story of finding fulfillment
Review: All about finding fulfillment in the face of adversity

Summary: Great Start Turns to Cliche
Review: After getting off to a wonderful start, with compelling characters and a light, fun tone, this book fails to develop. As she runs out of energy, Cleage falls back on weak cliches and ends her story unsatisfyingly. Worth reading only if there's nothing else around.

Summary: The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow!
Review: This book was refreshing. Even in the midst of sadness and neverending drama, there is so much hope!

Summary: BORING
Review: I'm sorry I don't agree with most of the reviewers. Although the book was easy to read, I found it to be slow-moving. I was so excited to finally read it but I couldn't figure out what all the hype was about. I loved the male character in the book, although for the life of me, I can't remember his name. I also loved the bonding that the sisters had. I think the AIDS tragedy wasn't developed enough. This book is one that I'll soon forget about.

Summary: Oprah - give me a break!
Review: Please, just because the topics are timely and the text is easy to read and hip; that does not make this a good book. Lets see.. the protagonist is HIV positive, runs away from her problems and falls in love with a man who killed a couple people and did time. There is no depth to the characters or the plot. I kept turning the pages waiting for more to happen, but it didn't. What a waste of time and money.

Summary: Uplifting and totally enjoyable
Review: Oprah's Picks have usually disappointed me, but this one was an exception. What a great story. Even with all the hardship, it's nice to see that love triumphs. I was stuck in my car in a snow storm for 3 hours when I read most of the book. Thank goodness I had the book with me. It made the time go by so quickly. Just wanted to keep reading.Thanks Pearl.

Summary: What a fantastic book !!!
Review: I really loved this story. Like all of Oprah's books this is one that touches the heart and takes the reader there. I look forward to future books from the author. She has the unique ability to paint a picture and bring the reader in. I couldn't put it down !!!!

Summary: Thoroughly enjoyable, did not want to put the book down.
Review: This was the sentiment expressed by the members of my book club, Sister's Circle. We all found ourselves reading Pearl Cleage's book whenever and where ever we could. We grew attached to the characters and could feel their pain and triumps. We hope to have a "Eddie" come into our hearts some day. Refreshing yet tragic story, we were completely entertained.
