Title: Just plain awful!
Product review: I read this book several weeks ago, and I'm still mad that I spent any time on it at all. This is one of the worst books I have read in years. I find it hard to believe that there could be such shallow people in the world as are portrayed by these characters. The title character is supposed to be a mature woman, yet she apparently spends nearly all her time thinking about CDs, cars, clothing, and other material things. It reminds me of what a not-very mature 12 year old girl would think an adult woman is like. Where is the soul in these people? I find it truly frightening if the average American reader is led to believe that this type of trivial, media-brainwashed pap is what the average black woman thinks and feels on an ongoing basis.
