A Do Right Man

Summary: SLOW AT FIRST, THEN BECOMES INTERESTING....
Review: It took me 2 weeks to get through the first few chapters of this book, but then only 1 night to finish. I read Flyy Girl, which was excellent, but this book wasn't as great. I liked it, and it took you on the main character's journey, and how he grew up from a boy out of college to becoming a man. I have a boyfriend from DC, and that was how I understood the references (A LOT) to the cities he traveled to. You grow to like him, and the end was great...I found myself wishing that he was a real person with a real radio show. In other words..BUY THE BOOK!!!

Summary: iNTERESTING-DIFFERENT
Review: I read Flyy girl, I was not impressed, mainly because I have a teenage daughter, and some of the things that Ms Tracey was putting her Mother,through it just brought back bad memories of the relationship that I have with my daughter. I just finished reading A do right Man, and it took me about two weeks to finish it. It did not hold my interest, but it was a good book. I would recommed it for reading, I always share my books with avid readers of black fiction.

Summary: Will this book ever end.
Review: I'm usually not a critic to many authors, but this is the first book I read and it took about a month to read and that's only because I'm in a book club. It was nice to hear a man's point of view and see that he came to some positive conclusions on how he should take chances with women, but all that it took to get him there. I'm glad he doesn't speak for all men because I would never find a mate. It just makes me wonder if Mr. Tyree is speaking from experience.

Summary: Finally, a man's true perspective.
Review: as a single African American professional young woman I must say that I found this novel to be a great read. I've always wanted to know what Black men thought of Black women who were focused on their careers. Hats off to Omar Tyree because he certainly answered all of my questions.

Summary: refreshing to read a man's thoughts on love and career
Review: I enjoyed reading this book, it was nice to read about how men feel on the subject of relationships and career. I couldn't put the book down once I started reading it.

Summary: Was This a Satire?
Review: Most of the members of ITCOMS could not decide if this novel was trying to say that men have it as hard as women or was the author playing the "switcheroo" with the "all men are dogs" type books? We all read the book and enjoyed the book. We had a lively discussion and decided that the book was well written. It is worth reading.

Summary: good book!! u know the characters!
Review: this book is excellent reading and fast reading! if you have grown up or visited the new york and washington d.c. area, you can relate to many of the places the characters live, work and play!! and you know the characters because they are so life-like!! especially if you are african american between the ages of 20-40, know what it is to struggle and make a "name" for yourself in any career after college.

Summary: It was okay
Review: A Do Right Man was an okay book. It was kinda boring, especially all those radio interviews. I also thought that Bobby was a huge punk. Mostly throughout the book I was just thinking "I wish it would hurry up and end" 'cause it didn't seem to be going anywhere. Flyy Girl was definitely much better. Anyway, check this book out from the library, but don't waste your money on it. It's not worth it. Believe me, after reading it, you'll thank me. To Mr. Tyree: Flyy Girl was great, but you got a little lost in A Do Right Man. Better luck next time.

Summary: Boring.
Review: The main character was a sap. He was a pushover and he was boring. I went to a HBCU and there weren't any guys like that, I guarantee. The book was a good go-to-the-gym-and-ride-the-bike kind of book. Omar Tyree has done much better than this.
