Summary: MOFOS ARE BACK!
Review: Not A Day Goes By Is A Must Read!I've been a fan of E.Lynn Harris' since the debut novel of Invisible Life and have read every book in the series. E. Lynn remains a consistently good writer! Not A Day Goes By is another page turner and as such I read the book in one sitting. The story is well-crafted with a good storyline; realistic and dimensional characters; vivid imagery and shocking plot twist and turns. Basil and Yancey are back to put on the wedding of the century. But just before the big day secrets and deception rear their ugly heads. Harris begins Chapter One with Basil comtemplating the upcoming wedding day and whether or not he's making the right decision. From there you're hooked and must read the rest of the book to find out why. Not A Day Goes By has the Classic Recipe for a delicious book: love, sex, romance, deception, raw ambition and intrigue. Add to it a pinch of lust, trust, betrayal, revenge, and a sprinkle of the sport's and entertainment industry. Mix it all together and you have all of the necessary ingredients. Not A Day Goes By is prepared with all of the plot twists, memorable characters and shocking surprises that keep one coming back to an E. Lynn book.

Summary: The Basil saga continues........
Review: The much-anticipated sixth novel by E. Lynn Harris hit number 2 last week on the New York Times Bestseller list. His last two books, Abide with Me and If This World Was Mine also were on the lists and in my opinion they were better constructed books. I am breaking my own rules in comparing because I really think each book should be judged individually it it's own merit. I can't say anything bad about; It was indeed a page-turner. If there were halves I would give it a 3 1/2. It just didn't quite warrant a four. Some reviewers have expressed disappointment and have given it low ratings. I think that is a bit much, but this last one did leave me somewhat hanging, hungering for more. I must admit I had doubts that a union between the self-absorbed, psyche damaged, wannabe star Yancey and the flip-flop, psychotic Mr. Basil could be successful. They both are so stuck on themselves and selfish but people change, right? Basil with some psychiatric treatment behind him feels he is in a position to love Yancey Braxton and gives the relationship his all, resisting temptation with both men and women. Yancey loves Basil, but not completely which leaves room for her to be influenced by her crazy, sluttish mother. They have plans for Yancey and Basil's wedding day and it doesn't look good. With all the superficial buppies, wannabe stars, and name dropping, my yearning for living in New York has somewhat dimmed. Imagine throwing a wedding and inviting celebrities in order to boost your career and to get in the hot publications. I am glad a brother is getting so much publicity and attention for this novels and I recommend all of his books starting with Invisible Life. I also look forward to his memoir.

Summary: Entertaining and provocative!
Review: This is the first E. Lynn Harris novel I have ever read. Let me tell you that it will not be the last. His sharp writing, precise wit and incredible narration are one of the best I have recently read. I love the story of ex-football player turned sports agent John "Basil" Henderson and up-and-coming, ego-is-larger-than-actual-fame Broadway star Yancey Harrington Braxton. Their love story illustrates how childhood traumas could affect adult relationships. I love John's character; he is a very earnest and very confused man. In fact, all of the characters are earnest and real. I have met my fair share of Basils or Yanceys or Avas (Yancey's wayward mother) in life. This is a great novel. E. Lynn Harris is a very talented contemporary writer. I strongly recommend that you give this book a whirl.

Review: This was my first E. Lynn Harris book. His strength is in how nicely his books flow. The details and the storyline moves fast and makes for a good read. I will read more of his books. I think it's worth reading. His story of modern relationships and sexual confusion is ...like whoa! It's interesting...to say the least!

Summary: A Fast, Fun and Sensational Ride
Review: This was my first time reading an E. Lynn Harris book and I was thoroughly impressed with "Not a Day Goes By", a story about John Basil Henderson and his bride-to-be Yancey Harrington Braxon. They both have secrets that threaten to destroy their impending union and E. Lynn keeps you gripped to your seat as you're taken from one dramatic scene to another on the couple's quest to reach the altar. The plot was tighter than tight and remained on focus throughout the book. This means that every scene and every character added something and was built upon the central theme of the story. Because the plot was so tight, you must give a nod to his editor because only good editing can make a book read as well as "Not a Day Goes By." From the drama surrounding Basil and his past, to the antics of Yauncey and her unforgettable mother, Ava, E. Lynn's characterizations are strong and noteworthy. They are realistic characters and you are allowed to feel their every mood. I actually noticed when I was laughing and/or shedding tears (a rarity for me) during the most hilarious and sensitive scenes. This book is the epitome of a page turning novel. The outstanding writing, awesome plot twists, memorable characters, and laugh really loud dialogue should make "Not a Day Goes By" one of the most commendable novels of the year.

Summary: ~aWeSOmE bOok!!
Review: Well, Not a Day Goes By, is the first book I have read by E. Lynn Harris. At first when I browse through the gazillion books on the shelf in the bookstore, it just somehow dragged my attention to it. It didn't fail my expectations, not at all instead it exceeded, I have to say Not A Day Goes By was one AwEsOme, ExOtiC book. E. Lynn Harris definitely knows how to draw the readers' attentions; it was such a page-turner, probably from how he played with the story line using his one of a kind style. I also loved the way that he used short chapters, giving me some time to breath from this fast-pasted story, I especially like how he kept on switching views from the two main characters between chapters. The book has this extraordinary plot, yet somehow seemed pretty real to me. The characters he created were awesome, with each individuals having such unique personalities, I just have to say, how could Ava be like that.... ~#@#$! So wicked!!! When I started the book, I didn't really think I would like Basil, but in the end, I LOvE him, an ex-football player, who is gorgeous, bisexual; "switching lanes." It was just great, and I couldn't wait to get all his other novels. I would recommend this book to anyone, EnjOy~

Summary: E. Lynn is at the top of his game!
Review: With Not a Day Goes By, E. Lynn Harris rebounds from the slump of his last 2 books and comes up with a novel so addictively delicious that the only complaint I have is why couldn't it have been longer? 2 of Harris's most interesting charachters are further explored here. 1st there's Basil Henderson the bisexual former sports star. 2nd there's Basil's bitchy fiance Yancey Harrington Braxton a ruthless broadway diva who will do anything to further her career. Both charachters have kept secrets from eachother and what happens when these secrets come out makes for some dynamite drama. Harris includes some wonderful supporting charachters and also brings back some favorite charachters from his previous books. It's a book that's perfect for a day at the beach a 3 hour plane flight or a lonely night. By the way I am a white male and I'm proof that Mr. Harris books have crossover appeal. He rules!
