Summary: FUN READ!
Review: This is not great literature, but a fun read. It took me a couple of days to finish. Something light for an airplane ride or vacation. The ironic thing is I "dated" someone who was like the main character - a minister and a dog! So I can say "it is real".

Summary: Outstanding
Review: This book shows that things could be good at first but if u lose site of God, things could get very bad quickly. The Pastor was terrible and he did terrible things to his family and the church, but in the end it all caught up with him and his mistress. The reason i enjoyed this book is because the author was real, she did not hold any thing back.The book was outstanding and i will continue to recommend it my friends.

Summary: Whew!
Review: Drama, Drama, Drama. The Reverend was a mess! I had to keep reading to see if he would have an epiphany and slow his roll. That man was a satyr - feeding off the "lambs" in his congregation. He had a great wife and daughter, beautiful home and making big bucks. He was a glass house waiting for someone to throw that stone. I give this 4 1/2 stars - this author never disappoints and this was a really good book. Drama for your nerves.

Summary: Kimberla Does It Again
Review: "Casting the First Stone" is a book that I would rank in my top ten for the year. Tanya is trying snd praying every day to keep her marriage to Curtis together. She tends to keep it all inside but when things start to affect her child she realizes that she has to get out. This is the story of a strong black woman who's faith in God gets her through some pretty rough times. I can't wait for Ms.roby,s next book

Summary: This book was great!
Review: This book was great. I enjoyed it to the utmost. I am very involved in my church and we had a similar situation a few years ago, so I know it is "real." It is very sad when these things happen with supposedly "spiritual" individuals, but some people aren't able to handle "fame" and the responsibilities that go with it. It is unfortunate that some pastors of large churches have to be strong and able to avoid temptations that are so easy available. NOt only did Curtis do wrong, but he didn't seem to be able to distinguish the difference. He had too much "going on" in his life and he got exactly what he deserved in the end. I read with baited breath, hoping that his wife wasn't going to give in, in the end. I'm glad she went on with her life. Kimberla did an excellent job. I e-mailed her to let her know and she responded the very next day. A wonderful person!

Summary: BRILLIANT, A PAGE TURNER, MS. ROBY DOES IT AGAIN!
Review: Ms. Roby has truly outdone herself. I mean Lord have mercy I just could not put this book down. I have recommended it to everyone and I plan to start a book club and this will be the first book we read. Oprah needs this on her "TO READ" list. Thank you for addressing the concerns of the church that many people are aware of but are afraid to speak on. You hit the nail right on the head and then some. Curtis was slimy & grimy and what goes around comes around. Tanya was a victim and God always takes care of His own so she ended up right where she was supposed to be. Poor little Alicia had to suffer for her father's selfishness. When will we ever learn how to be good to each other and love each other? Its sad really. A wonderfully written book by a wonderfully talented author. I applaud you for having the courage to write about this VERY sensitive but very REAL issue. It does NOT apply to all pastors but it does apply to many of them. Trust me I know from whence I speak. Will there be a sequel? I would LOVE to know what happened to Curtis, Tanya, Alicia and the rest of the characters. HINT HINT. Whatever you do I will be on the lookout for it and I will get it as soon as its available. I am and forever will be an avid fan. By the way I saw you on Cable TV (The Unblinking Eye) talking about this book. Very good. May God continue to bless you and your family and keep you forever in His loving care.

Summary: AWESOME!
Review: First, I would like to say hello to Mrs. Roby. I enjoyed you at the Chicago Women Who Love To Read Retreat/May 2000. I started reading your book this morning and I was done by 1000pm the same day. I could not put it down. I had no idea that your book would be so powerful. I truly enjoyed every twist of it. It made me reflect on my own life and relationship with GOD. It was very deep, spiritual and yet spicy. I look forward to more of your work.Rhonda Gibson Founder, 1st Annual African American Book Clubs & Readers Retreat

Summary: Another Great One
Review: After writing "Here and Now", Roby continued to write about real African American characters in "Casting the First Stone". In this one, the book dives into a touchy subject - black churches and corruption. It also is about how a marriage can fall apart. You can't put the book down. This would be a great movie. It's definitely a great book. I'm a faithful Roby fan now forever.

Summary: Dramatic Scene Queen!
Review: Yes indeed! Kimberla Lawson Roby has really done it with this one! She has earned the "Dramatic Scene Queen" crown! The fight, the staircase scene and the Appreciation Day scene along with others had my heart beating fast and my mouth wide open reciting "Oh My God!" Curtis definitely knows he is a pro at getting himself intangled in some stuff! When will we learn, everything done in the dark will eventually be brought to light? Everything! Casting the First Stone is truly a WINNER!
