Rating: Summary: It was intriguing and peakful. Review: I was highly intrigued by the book. Once I started reading I just couldn't stop. I was glued to the pages anticipating each and every word to follow. I felt as though the characters were real as if I knew them personally. I was just upset that they could not be together. But thats reality for you, sometimes its just too late. All I can say now is I miss the '80s.
Rating: Summary: Excellent!! Review: I was highly intrigued by the book. Once I started reading I just couldn't stop. I was glued to the pages anticipating each and every word to follow.

Rating: Summary: THIS BOOK WAS GREAT!! Review: I'M NOT A HEAVY READER BUT I COULDN'T PUT THIS BOOK DOWN. IT WAS SPECTACULAR. IT HAD EVERYTHING I'M INTERESTED IN HIP-HOP AND NEW YORK AND EVEN SOME SEX. I RECOMEND THIS BOOK TO ALL WHO IS INTERESTED IN HIP-HOP, NEW YORK AND SEX. NELSON GEORGE DID A GREAT JOB. YA HEARD!!
Rating: Summary: URBAN slow dance. Review: If a book can grab me within the first 50 pages, then I'm hooked. With URBAN ROMANCE, it took a little longer to get the story going, but because I paid for the book, I decided to keep going. It definitely got better, but it would have been better to not spend so much time on slow introductions of the major players. Sometimes, that can wear the story down quicker than a three course meal. Still, a good book
Rating: Summary: An real urban romance... Review: In his first novel nelson george tells a tale of young love, lost and found amongst youb urban Black professionals in New york City. George does a fine job at reaching beneath the surface of his character and making them feel real. He also didn't allow the plot to become entirely predictable. He also gets points for writing about the beginings of hip hop culture. A very enjoyable first novel.
Rating: Summary: An light-hearted look into African American relationships. Review: Nelson George has been referred to as the male Terry McMillan of contemporary
African American fiction. That is an understatement. Urban Romance is the tale of two young Afrcan American professionals dealing with sex, love and
realtionships in New York City. It is a refeshing change from souppy
romance novels because the characters are so real you believe George is either writing about you or your best friend. A MUST read.
Rating: Summary: finally a look at modern romance from the male side!! Review: Nelson George has done a great job with this drama of love in the 1980's, showing the reader how men feel. He is normally a music critic. I think the book would make a great movie, but Hollywood feels Terry McMillan reaches a bigger audience. Bijan Bayne, author of "Sky Kings"
Rating: Summary: It was intriguing and peakful. Review: This is the first book I have read by Nelson George. I must say it was quite interesting. I now look forward to reading his other books, hoping to get the same joy I did out of this one. You go Nelson!
