When All Hell Breaks Loose

Rating:
Summary: wonderful read
Review: Camika Spencer's debut novel is about black twenty something. It is fast and funny. The author will have you laughing and looking in the mirror to see if she's talking about you (whether you're black or white).

On a Sunday morning Gregory Alston has asked Adrian Jenkins to marry him, but when he does all hell breaks loose and he gets more than he bargained for. His mother returns from France, where she has been living since she left the family 20 years ago. His Holy Roller sister Shreese thinks that Adrain is too worldly for Gregory. His dad has locked himself in the bathroom and refuses to come out after his dog dies. His son thinks he is just plain crazy. And if that isn't enough he has Adrain who has more skeletons in her closet than a haunted house. What's a brother to do?

I get the impression that the author, who is black, wrote this book for a black audience. But after reading it I feel it could be about any American family. I know all can enjoy it. What a wonderful read this was. If you liked the movie SOUL FOOD you will love this book.

Summary: A FUN AND EASY READ!!
Review: This book is about a 29 year old man, Greg, who proposes to his girlfriend of three years, Adrian. Greg believes that everything is great until all HELL breaks loose. First his sister, Shereese, begins to date a bogus minister from her church. Then all of a sudden Greg's mother comes back to Dallas for his wedding. It doesn't sound that bad, but it's a problem for Greg because the last time he saw her was nineteen years ago, before she left to go to France to pursue her singing career. To top it off, Greg finds out something about Adrian that is going to shock him and change the way he feels about the love of his life.
I had a good time reading this book. It took me like a day and a half to finish because I couldn't stop laughing at Greg's friends. It's pretty cool how Camika Spencer can get into a mans head and write this book. If you didn't know who the author was, you would think that it was a man writing this book. Overall, I recommend this book to those that have a sense of humor and just want to read an easy book after they have read something mind blowing.
