Negative Positive
Title: The Between keeps you guessing
Review: Due's first novel gives you a ricochetting pinball trip through the tortured life of a man trying to protect his family from something unseen and unknown. The author does a great job of melding you to the main character's experience, and you share his pain, confusion and desperate desire to protect his wife and children at all costs. While many novels with African-American characters seem to focus on inner-city turmoil, Due's upper middle-class family represents a somewhat forgotten group. But be warned -- this ain't the Cosbys, and if you'd rather laugh and smile than squirm and wince, put down this book and turn on the TV
