Summary: Lesson learned
Review: Eric Jerome Dickey can invoke all emotions in you from anger, to laughter, to sorrow in a matter of turning a page. What power a pin makes. There is a lesson in all things, as the quote says, "Enough people have made enough mistakes for us to learn from so we will not have to make the same mistakes." and "You have to learn from other's mistakes cause you ain't gonna live long enough to make'm all yourself"...Lesson learned teacher Dickey.

Summary: I Loved it!!
Review: I'm not really big on reading but if it's written by Eric Jerome Dickey, I'll read it. I've read Cheaters, Liar's Game and Sister Sister but Cheaters is my favorite. I think that the reason I like it so much is that it has so many twists. It kept me on my toes. I never wanted to put it down. If you like a lot of action, you'll love this book. You never know what is going to happen next but you won't be able to wait to find out.I'm a college student and my schedule is a little hectic but I read it every chance I got (Even if it was 3 am). I would sit down and tune out everyone around me just so that I focus on this book. I am very impressed with his work and I look foward to reading the rest of his books.

Summary: It was okay....
Review: Cheaters started off kinda slow. To me there were too many characters in this novel. I was confused at times about who was talking. Overall it was a gread read. It was not his best though. Would I recommend this book? Yeah, to a reader who likes alot of characters and drama.

Summary: Between a Yearning for Love and Attraction for Lust!
Review: Before reviewing this powerful novel, let me caution potential readers that this book contains very explicit sex and violence, extremely foul language, and explores the gamier side of the club and dating life. If such things offend you, consider another novel.The book's theme is that we are torn between wanting true love (to be loved for ourselves) and our desire to enjoy the maximum pleasure from the opposite sex. This theme is reinforced by childhood experiences, observing family and friends, and following our own emotions in social settings. The book goes on to raise the important question of how we move beyond that to get the mature love that we truly want. A major subtheme looks in a similar way at the nature of friendship. Is a friend someone who makes you feel like you're in charge, or someone you care about and who cares about you? The book develops primarily from the perspectives of Stephan Mitchell, a man who loves to keep a large number of women on the string, and Chante Ellis, who is in love with falling in love . . . and keeps finding herself with exploitive bums. Each of them comes to question their primary way of dating and relating to the opposite sex, their friends, and finding lasting companionship. The book also chronicles the experiences of their married and unmarried friends who struggle with variations on the same issues. It's like a jazz piece that contains many versions of the main melody reconstructed throughout on different instruments. The book's main appeal is that it holds out hope that we can improve ourselves, change our behavior, and acquire the love we want. In essence, we get the love we deserve except from our family. I found it very moving that Mr. Dickey chose some pretty pathetic hedonists as his characters. In the beginning, these are the anti-heroes, but they mature and move towards being loving adults. Now, all of this could come across in a very heavy, moralistic way. But Mr. Dickey has a light touch, and colors his points with careful exaggeration and humor to make the lessons easier to swallow. Stephen Mitchell's last visit to Toyomi's home in Palm Springs and Chante's last date with Michael are both excellent examples of this. The character development in the novel is outstanding. You will feel like you know each character quite well, probably better than their lovers and potential lovers do. Mr. Dickey has an astonishing ear for dialogue. You can feel yourself in almost every scene because the dialogue is so realistic. Having lived in San Bernardino while I was growing up, I especially enjoyed the many descriptions of the towns and freeways around the Inland Empire. I think I even picked up on a few better routes for avoiding traffic. Since the characters are Afro-Americans, some potential readers may want to arbitrarily assign this novel to some sub-genre concerning Afro-American culture. That would be a mistake. It would be like thinking of Romeo and Juliet as a soap opera. Regardless of your connection to or interest in contemporary Afro-American culture, you will identify with and enjoy reading about these characters. After you have enjoyed this superb novel, you should use it as a mirror to think about the ways that you show and provide love and friendship in your life. How could you improve? How could you connect these changes to your spiritual beliefs? Give the love and friendship that you would like to have.

Summary: Dickey is Dynamite!!!
Review: Mr. Dickey is the best writer of this kind of fiction that I have ever come across. His characters are colorful and their dialogue is so true to life, I could almost see myself in some of the conversations with my sister and her friends. He portrayed them wonderfully and he doesn't even know them! Amazingly true to life are all his stories, but "Cheaters" out did them all. A must-read!

Summary: cheaters
Review: dickey's best work. paints an intruiging picture. main characters have depth and their flaws are put out there in a way that makes their stories believable. dickey's detailed description of california through the eyes of his characters makes me feel as if i'm there. he takes a subject that almost everyone has either an opinion or a personal experience and brazenly entitles the book with that controversial one word title.

Summary: SOME PEOPLE MAY NOT CALL IT CHEATING
Review: CHEATERS WAS RECOMMENDED BY MY SON. I ALREADY MADE MY MIND UP THAT I WAS NOT GOING TO LIKE THIS BOOK MAINLY BECAUSE OF THE TITLE. I READ THE BOOK AND FOUND THE WRITING WAS EXCELLENT AND FLOWING. THE BOOK HELD MY INTEREST AND THERE WERE A FEW SURPRISES,ESPECIALLY THE ENDING.
