Summary: It tells the honest to God truth
Review: I really enjoyed this book. The movie didn't do it any justice at all. I can relate to these women. It does seem hard to find a good man. Not that they're ll gone, it's just that the pickings are few. These characters are very unique in their dialogue and ways they relate to each other. This is a great book. I recommend it to men and women!

Summary: Nothing Wrong with Waiting
Review: Although I have heard various comments about this book...and the movie. I see nothing wrong with the way Terri wrote it. Yes there are strong, powerful, black women in this world; but there are also those sisters out there who are exactly like Robyn, Savannah, Bernie, and Gloria. There are also men out there like Kenneth,Russell and John. * I KNOW QUITE A FEW*. This book is simply the voice of the minority of our community. I loved "Waiting To Exhale", it gave me some insight on how some people live their lives. :}

Summary: Black Women Are Not This Gullible!!!!
Review: This is not a good book, and the movie was worse. You would think that a black woman would write a book that shows the positive side of how black women live. Or, at the very least, not portray them as whiner's who can't seem to stand up for themselves or get it together. I know lots of single black men who are honorable, sincere, and trustworthy. Where are they in this book? Oh yeah, the ONE guy whose white wife is dying? "Girl, all the good ones are gay, in jail, or wit white women" This is crap, and any honest black person will tell you so. Not to let no good men off the hook, but this book does not evoke sympathy for the characters. I didn't feel sorry for them, I just thought "well, damn! that was stupid, why'd she do that". I know black women can do better, as women and as writers.

Review: It feels good to know that women can have authority and still be in touch with the female inside of them.

Review: I think this book is a funny, good spirited book that will make you laugh so hard you cry and cry so hard you laugh. Get it now!!! And while you're at it, watch the movie. It's worth it.

Summary: Four women living the life... with or without men.
Review: Waiting To Exhale by Terry Mc Millan is about four middle age women and their struggle with life, and their relationships with men. The book focuses on the troubles women go through when dealing with relationships with men. The problems ranged from being left by her husband for a younger women, a long term deceiving boyfriend, father of a woman's child who shows no concern and claims he's gay, and a life long struggle for the right man. The greatest part of the book is the ending, proving that women can live life waiting for the right man and never settling for less

Summary: Thought provoking
Review: I read this novel on a dare from female readers at my place of employment. They contended that most men met the criteria as espoused by the author. After reading the tome I had to agree that some men I knew were like these men. But I contended that these women went in with their eyes opened and they really picked some losers. I have read two other books by the authour and did some extensive research on her. Her novels are realistic because she is writing about her experiences. Her narrative style flows and she is easy to read.I look forward to her new books

Summary: book better than movie
Review: i read this book years before the movie came out. and the book is better. is has a more in depth look at the characters. and it ends better. so if you've already saw the movie, try to block it out before you read the book. and if you haven't saw the movie, read the book first.
