A Do Right Man

Rating:
Summary: I was held captive until rescued by the last word.
Review: I found it very hard to put down. Omar Tyree's style and content kept me turning the pages. He admirably covered various aspects of relationships between friends, lovers, co-workers, family and soulmates. I going to go back and read all his books now. I don't care what they say in Columbus, Ohio, this book was the bomb.

Rating:
Summary: See the other side for a change.
Review: Tyree did a wonderful job of portraying this black man's story. It was a rare opportunity to get a male's insight on the woes of being young, black ,and single. Stories like this give hope that there are still good men and you can find your true love. Tyree also does an amazing job of capturing the intricacies of having a carrer in media. The book holds insight for both men and women.

Summary: I don't know any men like Bobby Dallas!!!
Review: I don't think Omar Tyree's depiction of Bobby Dallas was very realistic. He seemed to be a real wimp. My bookclub read this book and none of us liked it. Furthermore, Faye was a very strong, independent character. Why did he have her character get pregnant before they were married? Was she trying to trap him or was she just plain stupid when it came to birth control? The ending seemed to be thrown together, not very well thought out. Better luck next time Omar.

Summary: I was disappointed in this book!!
Review: My Book Club just finished discussing this book and overall we were disappointed. This book is really pegged as a book dealing with relationships from a male point of view but it really dealt more with Bobby's Radio career than anything else. We initially liked Faye's character because she was very strong, independent and career oriented but at the end when she was suddenly pregnant, that didn't sit very well with us. She certainly didn't need to trap Bobby at that point and it didn't make sense that she would intentionally get pregnant before they got married. It seemed as if the ending was just thrown together with very little thought. I hope the next book is better.

Summary: A realistic portryal of a young brother in the dating game
Review: The book was great. I read the entire book in one rainy weekend. I resent the comparisons to Flyy Girl. While it was a great book also, these are two entirely different stories. Frankly, I appreciate a writer who diversifies his lead characters and themes. Also, the book gave a really good realistic view of the ups and downs one encounters in the communications field and the inner workings of that field. I appreciate a book I can learn something from as this. It takes a caring,sensitive man to tune into the feelings of the lead character. I can hardly wait for Mr. Tyree's next book.

Rating:
Summary: No way near better than the first book
Review: I read Omar Tyree first book flyy girl and it was truly flyy. This book a do right man is not what was no way near the excitement and fun that was contained in flyy girl. However, it did have it's moments and finally an author is reflected how some men truly are and not the playboy that they are portrayed in other books.

Rating:
Summary: Awesome!
Review: I really enjoyed this book! Keep up the good work.

Summary: WELL WORTH IT
Review: "A Do Right Man" was great. Omar made you fell Bobby Dallas'character. You wanted to comfort him when Pearl dogged him and jump for joy when he finally got it right with Faye. I loved all of Omar's books and can't wait for the next one.

Rating:
Summary: The character development was not what it could have been.
Review: This is the second item of Tyree's that I have read. Though the story and character development was not to my liking, the story was much better than Fly Girl. The author has come a long way, but needs to work a little harder.

Summary: Please Shoot Me
Review: What Happened Omar? Flyy Girl was great but this one left a lot to be desired. Poor Bobby Dallas does not represent the men I know. Where did he come from? The land of the spineless? Stick to what works for you. I still look forward to Single Mom, (your next book) so hurry and redeem yourself because as of now, I want a refund and an apology for wasting my time!
