Casting the First Stone

Rating:
Summary: So True
Review: This book was fantastic! There is so much crookedness happening in the church that this story could very well have been classified as nonfiction. My only regret is that Tanya stayed as long as she did and allowed Curtis to go so far in abusing her out of guilt for his own sins. That Adrienne was so pathetic, she deserved her humiliation.

Summary: I love this Book!
Review: I really enjoy this book it is one of the best books I have read in a long time. It brings to light a lot of questions of so-called men of God. But again I must remember this is fiction. I enjoy your book. Thank you.

Summary: The Book Club
Review: Casting the First Stone was the first book for our new book club. It was a wonderful book. I could not put it down from the first time that I started to read. We had a book talk and discussed the questions in the back. Every member of our club enjoyed the book. We can't wait to read the next one. The questions in the back is a fabulous idea.

Summary: Wow is this real?
Review: This book is absolutely a good book. I really enjoyed it. It draws you to it and you can't wait to find out whats next. I know there are men of God who are like this. But it does make you wonder why people do what they do when it comes to religion. I love it. Can't wait to read your other books.

Summary: Dark side of the church
Review: Kimberla does an excellent job of presenting a realistic view of the dark side of the ministry. I actuallyfelt sorry for the pastor; I wanted to offer to get him some psychological help.

Rating:
Summary: Easy to relate
Review: This book was excellent! Unfortunately, our church recently went through a similar situation, so I was easily able to relate. The book was very "real" and the characters made you want to get right into the book and help them out. Five stars for sure!

Summary: For the Love of Money is the Root of All Evil
Review: I think this book could have been between fiction and nonfiction. This kind of stuff actually happens. Everyone is not called by God to preach. They just use God as an excuse. I just love this book. I highly recommend it. It take all kind of people to make the world go round. The good-James and the bad-Curtis. When is the movie coming out?

Summary: The truth will set you free.
Review: Kimberla Lawson Roby put her best foot forward in "Casting the First Stone". Not only did she address an issue that is very real not only in African-American churches, but all churches. I found it very interesting that Tanya stood by her man and she knew he was cheating and doing everything else under the sun. The saying what you do in the dark always comes to the light, applies to this story.... The characters were real and life-like with emotions and feelings. I completed the book in 3 evenings, I was shooting for one day, but I have bills to pay. Good Job Kimberla Lawson Roby

Summary: Not Impressed At All
Review: I was very disappointed in this book. I found the character development poor and I was tired of Tanya in each chapter discussing her desire to leave Curtis but why she couldn't. She also spent a great deal of time discussing abused women and too much detail on clothing, cars, coach bags, etc.. which was unnecessary for me. Overall, I was not impressed. I also did not find the writing challenging. This is no J. California Cooper or Toni Morrison.

Summary: Extremely Entertaining
Review: I really enjoyed this book. I couldn't wait for friends of mine to also read it so that we could have a discussion about it. Casting the First Stone should be on every book club's reading list.
