Summary: Sensual, Scandalous... I loved it!
Review: So far I've read 3 books by Dickey: Between Lovers (pretty good), Friends and Lovers (okay, but Dickey can do better), and now The Other Woman. The Other Woman was the best of the three and I now have his entire collection of books in my possession and can't wait to read them all.The Other Woman is such a sensual, emotional, and painful story. When I closed the book after reading the final page (which only took me 2 days) I sighed and said "wow" out loud. I liked all of the characters and I could understand every point of view in the book. While my life isn't filled with as much drama as the characters portrayed in this novel, I still feel that it is very realistic and think many lessons can be learned from it. I enjoy Dickey's writing because he takes the reader so deep into the life of a limited number of characters and portrays their complexities in such a realistic way that you can't help but to fly through his books in record time. He definitely speaks to the dilemmas faced by contemporary professional African Americans in their late 20s early 30s. As an aside, I am also from Delaware and one of the characters in the book is from Dover, Delaware so I really enjoyed the fact that an author finally acknowledged Delaware and portrayed the state very realistically. Dickey gets 5 stars if for no other reason than because he gave a "shout out" to Delawareans.

Summary: The Other Woman
Review: To sum it up in a word - AWESOME! This was the most intriguing book that I have read in a very long time. It grips you in the beginning and don't let you go. It's one of those books that you make yourself put down - although you want to keep reading. You just don't want it to end. Great job -EJD.

Summary: REAL
Review: The book was very real and the actions of the charaters happen in real life even though it was fiction The way she handles her husband after she finds out about his other life her husband selfish ways and not understanding the demands of her job. And her trying to get even with her husband this book had very strong charaters which you cant forget. This book left me messed up in a way because of the realness I had a long talk with my husband after this .
This book is a most read and you should talk about it after your finished.

Summary: THE PERILS OF INFIDELITY
Review: In a plot surrounding another nameless character (reminiscent of his THIEVES' PARADISE), Eric Jerome Dickey (EJD) reminds us that marriage can be beautiful IF the participants are loving, considerate, and FAITHFUL--with an emphasis on the latter. Written throughout from a female perspective, this novel exhibits EJD's uncanny knack for believably depicting the feelings, frustrations, and sensuality of his sister friends. As usual, the dialogue is crisp, up-to-date, and so credible that you are THERE as the words are spoken--nodding to their cadence and 'signifying' with each uttered truth. Despite EJD's irritating refusal to name the main character, he has created a story so compelling that even that flaw can be overlooked. Also, his debut venture into describing heterosexual erotica is surpassed only by Beverly Jenkins--the queen of tastefully creating ... images capable of arousing saint and sinner alike. Its wit, humor, poignancy, realism, and suspense make THE OTHER WOMAN EJD's best novel yet.

Summary: It will hold your interest but....
Review: This book was good enough to hold my interest; I read it in about 12 hours. The ending was not predicatable, although if you are really paying attention you will see that one of the characters is clearly unstable so the ending should not be a surprise. Also, the extensive sexual situations were not necessary because most of the time they were not relevant to the story line. After the first couple of chapters, you could tell they were being used a filler. However, if you want easy reading and need to kill some time, read this one.

Summary: It's About Darn Time! Welcome Back, EJD!!
Review: I have to say that I am SO pleased to FINALLY have the old EJD back. I have been so completely disappointed by every book written by EJD since Friends & Lovers. I finally gave up on him... until a friend convinced me to read The Other Woman. This story was excellent. As a Los Angeleno, I always appreciate the realistic portrayals of our cities, freeways, etc. The realism also extends to the raw emotions experienced by each character as the drama unfolds and unfolds and unfolds almost until the very end. The only reason I did not give this book 5 stars is because I thought the ending was excessive and unnecessary. This book could stand alone without the explosive ending (an ending that is all too familiar to anyone who read the equally-excessive ending used in M. Baisden's last offering -- but who's drawing comparisons? At least I didn't trip over typos in this book! *wink*). Overall, excellent job. My favorite author has finally come back to me! *smiles*

Summary: None can do it like you!
Review: Your novels are so vivid and descriptive. I like how you end each story leaving the reader wondering. I have read, "The Other Woman," "Mike In My Coffee," "Liar's Game," and currently I am reading "Thieves' Paradise." I must say I love them all, but "The Other Woman," so far, is my favorite. You are a great writer who analyses men and women so perfectly. Keep doing what you are doing, which is writing brilliant stories that crosses all boundaries.

Summary: New to EJD
Review: This is the first book of EJD that I have read. I really got into it and wanted to know what would happen to all the people. He is a good writer and now I want to read his other books. Perhaps because I am from the "older" generation, I was bothered by the ending which some others have spoken about. Or perhaps it is because I am not a violent person. I thought that Freckles was a great charactor as was Jessie. ( I would enjoy meeting them) The men were not that great! (Perhaps they were really portrayed well, but I would not want to know either one of them!) So even though I am older, white, live in the suburbs, I feel that a lot of this book spoke to me except for the ending. I loved reading all the other reviews and their viewpoints.
