Summary: STUPID, STUPID, STUPID
Review: If you are looking for a book with characters that you can identify with, that are fleshed-out, that have some integrity, spirituality and depth, forget this book.Stella is sophomoric, shallow and into conspicuous consumption. If you have no tastes of your own and want to know what Nikes to buy your teenager, what CD's are recommended, what books to read (including a little review of her previous book!)and what a wonderbra can do for you -- then you'll enjoy this book! This character is an insult - she's quite rich by most standards and filthy rich by single-mom standards yet in order to not forget where she came from she and her sisters speak blackese to each other. How about some volunteerism, or at least a check to a scholarship fund for gifted African-American kids? Believe me, that would never cross this character's little mind. The author's book has a catchy title and a glossy cover and nothing else.

Summary: I loved this book!
Review: I read this book on a 10 hour plane flight and couldn't put it down (even to get some much needed sleep). the writer's style may turn you off in the begining, but keep reading; it is well worth it!

Summary: PROBABLY THE WORST BOOK OF THE YEAR
Review: Hated the book!!! Terry McMillan doesn't or hasn't learned how to use punctuations in her writing of this book. It totally exhausted me just reading it. Never knew when to breathe. Books are supposed to be entertaining, interesting, en- lightening and enjoyable. None of the above can be said of this book. I couldn't wait to finish it and finally be able to put it down. If this is any indication about the author's writing, I will definitely never read any of her other books.

Summary: ENTERTAINING
Review: Entertaining and makes a difference, this time it is an older woman and a younger guy, yeah we women can do it too. but hated the bit about submissive down-trodden african women, get the little facts right Terry.

Summary: Puerile
Review: I am a great respecter and lover of books, but this thing was so bad that I literally threw it into a garbage can when I was done reading it. While the lead character has the potential to be likeable and interesting, McMillan subverts Stella's intelligence by making her a sucker for a pretty young male face (et al), and the simplistic belief that "love will conquer all." The story itself is so pathetic that I found it difficult to believe that it was written by a grown woman who is old enough to know better. Worse, it propagates the myth that a woman can't be truly happy, successful, creative or fulfilled without a man in her life. As such, STELLA would have worked a lot better as an animated movie where the heroine sings a lot and the love interest comes equipped with a horse and a castle. It's just that realistic.

Summary: not as good as mama
Review: I was disappointed with this book. I found Terry McMillan's last two books to be rather whiny and full of complaints. After reading "Mama" I was expecting a writer to emerge that would be on the level of other great African American female writers like Toni Morrison or Alice Walker. Instead of the "story teller" that I expected, Terry McMillan has evolved as a writer of shallow, vapid situations that depict black women as whiny, angry and dependent on the men they claim they don't need.

Summary: 17 and loved to read it one of the best yet
Review: I enjoyed reading this book it was the best yet I would have say. I normal don't enjoy reading but I started reading this and I could not but it down once, it only took me 3 days to read the 400pg book, keep up the good work i look forward to reading more. It was just interesting to read because it seems so real that all of this does and will happen to many people, also i am glad that Stella got exactly what she wanted.

Summary: This book gives hope to ALL women, black or white.
Review: This book gives hope to ALL women, black or white, who will eventally be 42 someday. Stella thought the only thing she had in life worth anything was her son. But then she goes to Jamaica, by herself, and has the time of her life. Meeting the most handsome 20-year-old man she has ever seen. Someone that made her feel like silk and light on her feet. All I can say is, "You go girl !!!"
