Summary: A thriller with heart!
Review: Evelyn Coleman has written a compelling page-turner. An ingenious plot, filled with mystery and suspense, is skillfully blended with a passionate and engaging exploration of love, friendship, race relations, loyalty and what it means to be "family." I loved the dialog in this book and I admire the author for the gutsy yet low-keyed way she tackles racial and sexual stereotyping - by both women and men, black and white. I cheered Patricia Conley, the book's smart and spunky protagonist, every step of the way - she's stood up at the altar, gets kicked out of her karate dojo for beating up another student who insults and tries to bully her (and also because she's not spiritual enough!), she stubbornly searches for her fiancée's identity and the reason for his murder, and encounters (in dream-time) a Dogon shaman who challenges her assumptions about the nature of reality itself. All with enough action, thrills, and unexpected plot twists to leave the reader breathless! I couldn't put this book down once I started it!

Summary: Spell-binding
Review: This review was written by a friend of mine. She does not have an e-mail address, so I offered to put it on the web for her.
Patricia Conley is definitely my kind of woman. A true kindred spirit of what a woman's gotta do. From the beginning to end, it was a turn page, on the seat of your pants thriller. My adrenaline was pumping as I turned page after page. I laughed at the funny one-liners coming from Patricia. I became Patricia, wanting to kick-ass, sick of the pooh-pooh men dis-respecting me. Wanting them to know who was the smart one in this game. The Dogons gave me food for thought, moved me in a spiritual way. Yes, there is a twin in ourselves or somewhere in the universe. I laughed and cried at the end of this book, sorry that it was over, but looking forward to the next one. Thank you Evelyn. I came away as a better person knowing that no matter what our gender is, we are one. This is a keeper, and I can't wait to bet your next one. I'll be waiting in anticipation Love, Your friend, Beverly

Summary: How Did This Book Get Published?
Review: When I read that Denise Stinson was the agent or publisher for this messy work of art, I was shocked and surprised. She has to look back on all of this and feel embarrassed. Eve Coleman had this Woman going in too many directions. So much until you start to think that everything is taking place in year 3500, on some unknown planet. Outrageous! Two stars for the sistah's vivid imagination.

Summary: A SPINE-TINGLING THRILLER
Review: What a unique story line! You start off with a sister being jilted at the altar when suddenly you are immersed into such a thrilling story line that you can't wait to turn the pages. The story line takes you through an array of subjects including love, African folklore, scientific discoveries, and greed...catapulting the main character, Patricia Conley, through a spine-tingling thriller. You will find yourself on an emotional rollercoaster as the story unfolds. Once you think you have reached the climax and the villain has been apprehended, you are plummeted back into the plot until the mystery is solved. This book is truly a winner. I give it two thumbs up.

Summary: A must read.... LOVED IT
Review: I loved this book. I totally disagree with the reviews that say this book is boring and unrealistic, etc. etc. This book is action and mystery and plot after plot and twist and turns that kept me going. It compelled me to reseach the Dogon and consider going back into martial arts. You have to be open minded and you really have to detach yourself from what we call reality and see the story for what it is worth. While on the surface it may seem unreal - you never know what is truly going on in the world, underground, or in places that you may not think of - THAT is what this book brings to the forefront.. THE VERY thing you least expect. AND even if you do not believe it could happen - this book is well worth the journey it takes you on. Excellent Author... she really did her homework on this one... more more more... ENCORE!

Summary: ZZZzzzzz
Review: Since I have a rule of finishing every book that I start, I could not wait to finish reading this book because it was BORING and I desperately wanted to start reading something else. Besides the book being completely unrealistic, the main character Patricia Conley was unlikeable because she did one idiotic thing after another. I would only suggest this book to an insomniac; maybe it would help them get some sleep.

Summary: i did not like this book
Review: Having spent my money on this book I forced myself to complete reading it. The heroine is an unlikeable person. The author fails to show why such a damaged woman could attract two such great men. The pace is too slow. The white characters are charicatures. The plot is a mess and the message is delivered in a heavy handed fashion.

Summary: A roller coaster of suspense, love, and history
Review: I have to give hats off to Evelyn Coleman. I honstly can't say I've ever read a book quite like this one. She gives the readers all the elements they could ask for: a classic Whodunnit, a history lesson, and a love lesson so deep it brought tears to my eyes. Give this one a try.

Summary: What A Woman's Gottta Do
Review: It is not often that I can not complete a book. This was one of those rare times. The main character is not likeable. Her actions are totaly unrealistic. There are just too many elememts for any one to be fully developed. It is clear that the writer had not removered herself from the children's novel mindset when she wrote this book.

Summary: A Page Turner
Review: "What A Women's Gotta Do" as it's finest. I read this book, October 2000, and really enjoyed it. Just when you think it's over, this suspense novel will come back at you with more shocking and thrilling events. Evelyn Coleman, has a remarkable imagination. This book should definitely become a movie.
