Rating: Summary: The Flip Side of Sin Review: The Flip Side of Sin is the first novel I've had the pleasure of reading by Rosalyn McMillan. I found her characters to be beleivable and strong. Her book had me laughing at times and crying at others. Being from a relativly meager background I identified with both her female characters Rosemary and Kennedy. I found her chosen themes of forgiveness, family and spirituality to be very inspiring. As a writer I beleive Ms.McMilian touched on every subject of interset to anyone in the 21st century, Religion, spirituality, gang violence, police corruption, drugs, prison, homelessness, abused women, drunk driving, politics, love, betrayal, freindship, marriage, lovers and family relationships. I look foward to reading the rest of this authors work.
Rating: Summary: What Happened to.....? Review: This book would have been a better read, if Ms. McMillan had stuck with the main characters instead of trying to deal with so many different themes. It seemed in the beginning she was trying to give so much "TMI" to small parts of the characters lives, that when you got to the middle of the book, the main issues that the characters were dealing with left you "hanging." At the end of the book, I felt as if I had just started reading it. I had so many questions that were leftunanswered. I hope she is not going to do a sequel to this book, because it was not that good. My advice to anyone -- is to borrow it from the library and save your money.
Rating: Summary: It's should be a sin to read this book! Review: This is the most horrible novel I think I've ever read. Sorry Roz. Since you already made your money on this book, I gotta tell the rest of the reading audience that this book is TERRIBLE! What were you thinking when you wrote this, Roz? It is entirely toooooooo wordy. It's extremely incomprehensible. I could only get to page 160 and that was with tremendous difficulty. I am an avid book reader and I must say that this is probably the very first time that I could not finish a novel. Sure, I'll admit that I really enjoy easy read novels that you can follow from beginning to end--who doesn't. Time is precious. I can't stand reading books by authors like Toni Morrison. Her writing just doesn't make any sense. Don't follow in her footsteps, Roz. I know it sounds like I'm hatin, but you really need to try to forget you ever wrote this book...
