Summary: Why did it have to end!
Review: Robinson went above and beyond the call of duty when he wrote this book. I completely agree with the other young lady who claimed she was angry when the book was over because she wanted to read more about the characters. The author does a wonderful job of making the reader become attached to these four young men. Never before have I seen men (black men) portrayed with such realism and honesty. I relished the opportunity to have an intimate look inside the minds and hearts of young brothers today. Simply reading about the details of their lives kept me engrossed, but it was the suspenseful story line woven into this book that made me fight to put it down. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good read filled with drama, suspense, humor and sensitivity. I can't wait for your next book, Robinson.

Summary: So So Boring.....
Review: This had to be the WORST book I have ever read!!! The whole story was slow. I had to finish it because whenever I start a book whether I like it or not I do finish it. I am usually done a book within 2 days this book took me two weeks. Do not waster your money on this book!!!

Summary: A good read
Review: When I first recieved this book I had reservations about reading it. I was not really interested in a college book that featured four friends. I was not interested in reading about their love life or their fraternity. I was pleasantly surprised when I began reading this book. I really enjoyed it.

Yes, the men had women problems, but it was not to sole focus of the book. These men wealthy, debonair Larry, struggling Terrance, playing preacher OJ, and virginal Brandon had a goal. The goal, beside graduating from college was to give back to the community where the University was located. They were going to save the Ellis Center. This was a difficult task as they faced opposition from those who wanted the center closed. These young men still pressed toward their goal.

In the time frame of the book, the men grow as people as they get closer to graduation. They take another look at things they were passionate about.

I thought it was a well written book. An interesting story and a few good lessons found in the pages.
