Title: Disappointing
Review: I've always loved E.Lynn Harris' books, but this one failed to entertain me as they usually do. This book felt like a rush job; the characters were more like caricatures: soap opera-like and unbelivable, which is unusual for Mr.Harris as his characters are usually so life like. He relies too much on pop culture. There is an abundance of cliches. And I think Yancey and Basil's relationship should have been played out from the beginning. I can hardly believe Basil loves Yancey; just because he says so isn't enough. Show--don't tell--is the oldest writing tool in the book but it is the most effective. How did Basil make the transition from woman hating to woman loving? Well, this book in no way will deter me from reading E. Lynn's following books, because no one's perfect--he is allowed a few faults--and the previous books were so good that I shall keep the faith!
