Summary: harlem redux yes yes yes
Review: This book is indeed refreshing, educational, funny and sexy who knew that the people in the 1920's had pizaaaz, wit, and sadly suicidal thoughts this is indeed a must read for the winter. I would come home fom my shift turn on my night light and start reading with Dinah Washington playing softly in the background!
Please order this book for yourself and a friend this is the best book I've read so far this year! 10 stars to Persia Walker

Summary: A Rare Find!
Review: What a delight to read a novel that succeeds in every area! As a mystery, it had me guessing and second-guessing to the end; the historical details of the Harlem Renaissance and Strivers Row were woven flawlessly into the plot and brought that era to life; the writing and characters were interesting, witty, and true to their natures. Even the sad aspects were handled with sensitivity and an understanding of the many types of people and their motives, reactions, longings, etc. This novel is a rare find in today's world of literature. HARLEM REDUX is a Must Read!

Summary: Brilliant, meticulously researched novel!
Review: What a great novel! Persia Walker had me hanging on her every word from start to finish! HARLEM REDUX is what many period novels strive to be, but never quite achieve-namely, a seamless blend of meticulous historical research, well-developed characters, and an unerring sense for the Zeitgeist of the era-in this case, the Harlem Renaissance. An added bonus: The whole shebang is all jazzed up and juiced up with Walker's prodigious creative gifts. And the mystery plot was brilliant: It blindsided me at the end, while making me wonder why I hadn't figured it out myself-just as every great mystery plot should. This novel is a breath of fresh air to the world of mystery novels, and to the world of fiction in general. I hope that HARLEM REDUX is the beginning of a long and succesful career for Walker. She'll have my vote-every time.
