Summary: Dark Issued Discussed
Review: The subject matter for Child of God dealt with many dark issues within one family that I'm very neutral on whether the book is a LIKE or DISLIKE. Lolita Files does a superb job of making the reader wanting to know more about the emotional turmoil each family member is experiencing and how they choose to deal with it. Files kept me turning the page until the wee hours of the morning. Child of God deals with the dark issue of brother-sister incest spanning two generations, jealousy and envy leading people to commit heartless acts and feel no remorse, and how need-to-be told secrets can eat away at a person's happiness. Files does not glorify nor try to resolve these issues and force this family into an "all is good" happy outcome. Instead, in a well-constructed manner she allows the victim (character) to clearly explain his or her reactions to the pain they feel as secrets begin the come to surface.

Summary: What a READ!!
Review: This book was by far one of my favorite reads of 2002. I truly enjoyed reading this book. Ms. Files takes the reader into a world of sexuality, voodoo, incest, childhood drama, mother/father relationships, drugs, and prostitution. This author does an excellent job of telling a story that you will never forget. Although some of the subject matters were hard to read about, I could not put the book down. I will now be a fan of Ms. Files. The Sister 2 Sister Book Club had a wild and fun discussion regarding "Child of God". I highly recommend this book to avid book readers.

Summary: Page Turner
Review: My friend lent this book to me, and after reading the description on the inside jacked I thought the book would simply be okay. Boy was I mistaken! This book was an absolute page turner. I read it in just 2 days. Love, suspense, mystery and tons of DRAMA all wrapped up into a book, how much better can it get.

Summary: GRIEVIOUS
Review: After reading this extremely dark, & dismal tale I was numb and disturbed, and seeking a way to process what I'd just ingested. While some drama is a good thing, CHILD OF GOD was extreme in its bleak, eerie, chaotic hopelessness. Reading it was a violation of mind and soul. I'm still stunned...and not pleasantly so.

Summary: Unbelievable
Review: This book just had too much going on. The family members were just awful. I just could not realistically see all these things happening. Brothers and sisters having babies together and thinking that they are in love with each other. This was just unreal. My bookclub read it for this month and we not pleased. I dont know if there were too many characters or was there just to much incest but I did not enjoy this book.

Summary: Don't let this one pass you by
Review: This is Lolita Files best book yet. At the beginning I got a little confused with who was married to who and who were the mother and father of the children, but once I got that straight the book was excellent. I read this book in one day. This book contained everything, drugs, incest, betrayal, murder you name it and it was in there. This is one of the best books I have read in 2002!!... Buy it you won't be sorry.

Summary: grim
Review: This book is about as much fun as an evening at the morgue. Ophelia, the heroine is the product of incest and has a baby by her own brother, the vicious Laertes. This book is a nasty gumbo of tabboo sex, voodoo and one tragedy after another. In order to pull this off you need to be a great writer. Lolita Files isn't. Her writing is businesslike and smooth but it never really rises above the okay level. Sorry.

Summary: Outstanding
Review: The only thing I can say is WOW!! This was one of my favorite books by Files. This book was so different from all her others it was edgy, deep, mystical it had so many elements I can't describe it. This book is worth reading. Kudos to Ms. Files for this book.
