Baby Father 2

Rating:
Summary: An excellent sequel!
Review: After reading Baby Father I thought that a sequel would be too good to be true. Yet I was very pleasantly surprised with Baby Father 2 as it kept the same pace as its predecessor but moved with just as much agility. The author writes so well, with such fluidity that the book was literally glued to my hand until I had read it for the second time! I simply could not take my eyes away from the pages for long enough to do anything else - my life was put on hold as I was swept into the world of naughty, wonderful characters. From what I know of black fathers this book is very accurate in some ways, although it has to be said that Patrick Augustus definitely adds his own special dimensions that bring laughter and intrigue!

Summary: Engaging and honest viewpoints from single black fathers .
Review: This book takes you into the lives of four black English men as they struggle to "Do the right thing". There are several different voices and viewpoints that are all interwoven reagarding theses four friends. There are women in the book but most of themare minor in comparison to the maile voices. One father struggles with a new marriage and an unmageable stepson , while another attempts to sweet talk his way back into the heart and bed of the woman that has two children with. Another searches for the perfect woman after a diasterouslt brief marriage that was queckly annulled. The characters are very human and honest in thier thinking and manuevers. Many of the characthers express confusion and fickleness. The surprising turns and antics that the fellows get into are what keeps the reader intrigued.
