Rating: Summary: EJD is probably the best out there. Review: I won't give a synopsis or anything like that but I really enjoyed this book. This is another book of his that I almost hated reading because I don't want it to end. I hope he puts out two books a year from now on. He also doesn't pander to the women like most black authors tend to do. They forget that men read too.I bought this book on Monday and my wife and I are both done reading it and today is Thursday. EJD keep doing what you doing, the men like reading your stuff too.
Rating: Summary: EJD Can't Stop, Won't Stop!! Review: What can I say that my fellow reviewers haven't already said? This book does not disappoint. It keeps your attention from beginning to end, you won't want to put it down. Great Christmas novel about the three "McBroom Sisters", decorated with just the right amount of drama, Los Angeles as the backdrop. The chapters move at a steady flow, the women speak to you as if you know them. I don't know how Dickey captures the entire being of a women so well in his novels but read his acknowledgments at the end and you may or may not find the answer :-). Bottom line, buy this book for you, your momma, and your girlfriend. Consider it a pre-Christmas, pre-Kwanzaa, pre-Hannukah, pre-whatever you want to call it type of gift. It's well worth the money.
Rating: Summary: WHAT??????? Review: I'm sorry, but EJD you need to start over with this one. I did not enjoy this book at all. Better luck next time.
Rating: Summary: Naughty or Nice is the Perfect Stocking Stuffer!!!! Review: This is a great book, it is filled with action, laughter, and even a little intrigue. If you want a quick fun read, then pick this book up today!! The book focuses on three sisters, and each chapter is filled with their first person account of their lives, and their encounters with the Internet, and life in general. If you want action, and passion and intrigue, then you will love the Livvy chapters!!!, She is the dominate character, so there are many chapters filled with her day -to -day drama. One particular love scene is nearly 4 pages LONG... I was very impressed with Eric Jerome Dickey's passionate details of her Internet love affair. If you want Humor, then you will be laughing until you cry with the Frankie chapters!!! Her internet encounters are so hilariously funny! There is one chapter where she meets a man she thinks is Mr. Right Now, until his former lover interrupts their date. In another chapter she meets a man that has sent her a false photo. Believe me you will certainly laugh your head off!!! The Tommie chapters are more serine, and not nearly as exciting, but important to the story. Naughty and Nice should be at the top of your Christmas List this year. It is a MUST READ!!!!!
Rating: Summary: EJD HAS DONE IT AGAIN!!! Review: I am a HUGE EJD fan! I couldn't wait to buy this book! Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down! I would read on the way to work, at work, and when I got home from work. It's amazing how real his books and characters are. Being from California, I was on the 10 and the 5 freeways with the marvelous McBroom sisters. I agree with one of the "reviewers" when he/she said that there should be a sequel to this book. I want to know how the relationship between Tommie and Blue works out. I want to know how things end for Livvy. And, I want to know what the heck's going on with Frankie! I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a true to life story. An A+ all the way! Can't wait for the next one!
Rating: Summary: YOU GOTTA READ THIS BOOK!!!! Review: EJD is my favortie author. I have read all of his books and they are all 5 stars. It amazes me how much he knows about women. The ending of this book is what completely flips you out... I was actually expecting it to end up the other way around (you have to read the book to know what I'm talking about)..... EJD has re-visited some of his past characters in his previous books, so you may want to start at the beginning and work you way up!!! ENJOY! {Your'e in for a treat)
Rating: Summary: Steamy and sexy, but average work for EJD Review: I'm a big fan of EJD and like most of the reviewers, I've read all of his books. I'd have to agree with those who say that The Other Woman was his best book to date and the better of the two books that he released in 2003. If you are new to EJD, I recommend reading The Other Woman first. Naughty or Nice was cute and a light story. Livvy's affair is defintely very steamy, Tommie's little romance is cute, and Frankie's dating life is comical. The story isn't as deep as some of his other novels, but this makes for a good light read as you are traveling during the holidays or just looking to relax with some light entertainment. There are a couple of surprises at the end, but nothing earth shattering. I do appreciate how EJD always gives us a new look at affairs and betrayal. This novel made me reflect on my own life and the kind of spouse I strive to be. I liked his theme that marriage is about "the end" and how he made the point that sometimes the one we choose to settle down with isn't "perfect", but neither are we. Bottom line is that you can afford the risk with this novel. For about the same price as a movie ticket, I got three night's worth of entertaining reading.
Rating: Summary: EJD DOES IT AGAIN!! Review: I LOVED THIS BOOK! Eric Jerome Dickey is my favorite contemporary black author. His writing is the bomb. After having recently read his book, The Other Woman (which is the most entertaining book I've ever read on the topic of adultery) I didn't think he could come out with something so good in such short time. However, Naughty or Nice makes for a fantastic read. Mr. Dickey's story of the three McBroom sisters will make you laugh and cry at the same time. It was a funny,yet serious and heart-warming story and I would recommend this book to everyone. One more thing, don't wait 'til Christmas to read it! Mr. Dickey - keep the stories coming!
Rating: Summary: Typical Dickey Review: I am to the point now where I couldn't care less about what is going on in a Dickey novel. All of his characters are pretty much the same, just different names, but I find myself racing to the bookstore every year for his latest novel. Just what is it about his works that keeps us hooked? Nonetheless, a quick, action-packed read for his long-time fans.
Rating: Summary: a chick book Review: Naughty or Nice is an easy read about the McBroom sisters and their romantic relationships .Coming together to celebrate Christmas,each hopes she can help the other with her problems.From Frankie's humorous Internet dating ,Livvy's hot (...) relationship to Tommie's tender love affair, there is something for everyone!
