Book Reviews of Friends and Lovers
Book Review: Kept me up at night
Summary: 4 Stars
I thought this was a really good book. A friend bought it for me and once I started reading I couldn't stop. I'd stay up until 2-3am trying to finish up a chapter. I thought the ending could have been a little better, but overall it seemed like he hit on some real issues.Book Review: A funny, romantic, love story!
Summary: 5 Stars
(originally posted September 6, 1998)Once again, Eric Jerome Dickey has restored my faith in the unity of friendships and relationships. He creatively projects positive, realistic images in Tyree, Debra, Shelby and Leonard that are hardly ever seen or heard of in the media. Dickey discusses strong friendships and carefully unfolds how the duos inevitably become lovers.
After a while, you may think you're watching a soap opera. Then you realize these are not characters or actors. They are real people - perhaps your friends, relatives, neighbors and co-workers who have shared intimate secrets with you. The novel is told from each persons heart with such a style that forces you to take breaks just to digest their innermost feelings. Friends and Lovers grips at your heart strings and delicately ties them in a lovely bow.
This heart-warming love story is also sensuous, without the vulgarity portrayed in some novels and movies designed to hold the audience. Mr. Dickey gently holds the reader's attention and emotions as he meticulously imparts love, laughter, anger and other emotions that naturally arise in a relationship. THE PASSION OF CHAPTER 12 IS SO SWEET AND HOT; IT WILL MAKE YOU WANNA HOLLER (FOR REAL)! Just get a fan and a tall glass of ice water or tea - whichever will help restore your blood pressure to a normal rate!
This is definitely a must read!
Book Review: VERY ENJOYABLE!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was very impressed with this book and amazed at how the author was able to capture each character's point of view so accurately(especially the female perspective). It was definitely worth the read. And for someone down there who said not to write a good review for a bad book, learn how to respect other people's opinions... No one said you had to like it, and personally I enjoyed it much more than the Coldest Winter Ever. But you don't see me knockin you for not feeling the same way I do, right?Book Review: Friendsand Lovers
