Title: One redeemable quality -- men's friendships and love.
Review: I read this book as an entry from my book club. I belong to "Open Gates", a book club that just celebrated it's 10th year anniversary. We meet at the Cumberland County Public Library in Fayetteville, N.C. "Men Cry.." was our selection for the month of March, 1999. I do not wish to be overly critical; I applaud the brother for expressing a point of view that may not often get expressed. However, I did think most of the characters were trivial, with facades of success, without much substance. However, I did read it. Other members of our group had very strong, negative reactions. I suppose it was a natural sequel to "Never Satisfied", which I also read. Since I have little time to read, I would rather, however, spend my time reading books that have more substance. I'm sure there is an audience for Mr. Baisden's work, and I wish him every success.
Is the review positive or negative?
