Rating: Summary: EXCELLENT Review: This book was loaned to me by a friend, and I was initially a bit slow to 'get into it', but that did not last long. I found the storyline gripping, and the message reinforced what life is about: family and love, without the frills that so often distract us. I have recommended the book to other friends, and have now started to read more of Ms Cooper's writing.
Rating: Summary: The Greatest of All Times Review: This book was one of the best books i've ever read! Ms. Cooper is brilliant in her character development, the plots, her underlying messages regarding the spirit of greed! I was captivated with each line. It started out at a great pace and only got better. It was a page-turner. I've since read this book 5 times and recommend it to everyone. My only regret is not having a signed copy. I absolutely love J. California Cooper and have read EVERY SINGLE novel she's written...family...wake of the wind...If you haven't read this book yet...it is a must read! And not from the library--you'll want this in your permanent collection.

Rating: Summary: Great Book!!!! Review: This Book was recommended by a friend, at first I was leary because the setting was in the late 1800- early 1900, However I found that once I started I could not put it down. The characters are well developed and the story unfold wonderfully. I have never read a book that changed my way of thinking - to see how satan works and thinks about us.. Thank you J.
Rating: Summary: Incredible! Really fell in love with the characters. Review: This book was recommended to me by a friend of mine who is African-American (which I am not) and she said J. California Cooper was an incredible author. I bought the book that day and started it. I could not put it down! The characters were so rich and interesting. It gave me a new insight into post-Civil War days and struggles that the former slaves and their descendents lived through! Definatly a must read! Looking forward to reading "The Wake of the Wind"---if I can ever get a copy!!!
Rating: Summary: Couldn't Put It Down Review: This is the 2nd book I've read by Cooper. The 1st was THE WAKE OF THE WIND. Cooper really knows how to tell a story. She wraps so many life lessons into her books. I think that's what I like most about her. I haven't read her short stories because I don't really like short stories. Each character in this book is given their own voice & Cooper fully develops each. Her writing is so good it's as though YOU yourself live in Yoville! I recommend this book for anyone, if you have teenage kids get it for them so they can see how every action has a consequence. Also for bookclubs. My bookclub is reading it now for the month of January.

Rating: Summary: INTRODUCE YOURSELF TO MS.COOPER Review: This is the first book that I've read by this wonderful author. Her writing excites you and makes you love/hate the characters. I am anxious to read and envelope more of Ms Coopers' works.
Rating: Summary: The best book ever wriiten in the English language Review: This is the one book that you can not put down it's it that kind of book that actually makes you think about what really satisfies you, and what makes you world complete.
Rating: Summary: I'VE NEVER BEEN SO MOVED BY A BOOK! Review: This is undoubtedly the BEST book I have ever read! I've encouraged anyone and everyone I know, to read this book and assured them there is no way they CAN NOT be moved - spiritually, emotionally, totally...I love J. California Cooper's bookS! "Homemade Love" is just as GREAT!!
