It was a nice read.I finshed the book in about,I say, three hours.The chapters wasn't long and plot of the book was her trying to return stones that was stolen from her jewelry shop by her cousin back to there right owners.The thing was she didn't want her mob family knowing about it or her customers.

I thought the book was a bit to detail, in which it made it seem like it was dragging the story line.Even though the story was well season some of the details,wasn't necessary( in my opinion),and the author wrote in certain parts of the book in second person.This book was a nice read.
This book is informative and helpful.I bought this book to help me with my writing structure and guidance in different fields of writing.I was uncertain about where to start with my writing even though I have some unfinished manuscripts that I want to be published.Well, this book gave me some ideas on how to start writing a book,and also for me to look over my manuscripts and what needs to be done.THE COMPLETE HANDBOOK OF NOVEL WRITING covers all avenues that get you started or help you on your way.
Here's a brief detail of what's in the book:
The Craft=The philosophy of plot
The Art=Mastering Fiction
The Process=How to start
And some more helpful info....

Another reason why I bought this book is that you can go back to it if your unsure of something.It's easy to comprehend,and they definitely give different examples on writing.But,they just don't only cover the writing aspect they do delve into the marketing,interviews and more.I was sold!

Also not to mention,you will be reading some helpful advice from some of your favorite authors.

THIS BOOK IS A MUST READ!!! you'll see......
A HIGHER COURT raises the qusestion DOES GOD EXIST?The trial of course takes place in a court of law amongest jurors,and counsels representing repudiation,and existence.The jury is made up of different races,backgorund,and religious believe.The counsels from both parties has the duties in trying to prove to the jurors of whether or not GOD exist. The repudiation,and existence both produces expert testmonies,as well as individual testmonies of people in different circumstances.When I read the excerpt,and the title I figuire I knew what the book was going to be about.Wrong!I read on to the part of " DOES GOD EXIST"and that's what peek my interest in reading on,also I wanted to know what the verdict would be.Well,I found out the verdict,and NOW you (the reader) have to read the book for your self to see what the verdict is,and to truly see if GOD does exist.A MUST READ
The book was short,and this is what I got from it. A couple lost the only world they knew and found another place.There wasn't any main characters in the book,and there wasn't enough details about the story.
I got A CREATIVE KIND OF KILLER in ebook form that was free.The plot of the book was very interesting, it's about a girl that was killed ,and Fortune Fanelli a former detective,and the main character had to figure out who had killed this girl,and why?For me there were entirely to many typos, and a few spelling errors in the story line.Like the number 1 in place of the the letter I.Also another thing Fortune who was a little bit unsure of him self at times( would use the word maybe) as though what he was thinking or saying wasn't factual. Also what got me was Fortune was being(to me) a little bit to descriptive about certain things.For example: the person who he meet or came into contact with, he would describe what they were wearing in which it took(I think) away from the main purpose of ther story.As I was read on in the book Fortune would every now ,and then reminisce on certain things,or place,and people as if we(the reader) would know who, what,and where he was talking about. It was an OK read.
I just couldn't put the book down I was so enthralled in Lyfe's life and how he live it.He explain his life as he lived it,and what it all envolved,and came along with it.When you read this book you will be shock by some of the situations that Lyfe has to deal with because how he was living.At first I was like it was a shoot out cop chasing drug dealer,and it was at times,but Lyfe tells you how it came about ,and the life that came along with being a drug dealer.Erick S.Gray wrote an epic tale that will have you in awe because the plot draws you in the story as though you're there experiencing what Lyfe was going through.I felt Like I was ducking,and diving from the bullets being shot at him.As I was reading every sentence I was rooting for him to make it out of that situation alive.OH!Oh!.. I forgot to mention I like how the plot of the story takes another direction when he meets a lady that shows him there is another world out there besides his own.The Author will keep you on your toes to see what will be the end result of Lyfe
A HINT OF MURDER has three stories in one.The series reads like a who done it type of a read.The drama in the book raises your senses as to know which person in the stories could actually commit such a hanious crime.Also the author throws in a host of characters to peek your interest,and also to throw you off a bit.All three stories had me reading from page to page to find out who actual done the crime.Over all it was a great read.
AGAINST THE GATES OF HELL is definitely a must read!The reason why I say that,because the author will evoke emotions from you(the reader) when reading this book.Author Mylow Young introduces you to the main characters of the book Herby,and Kerby.Herby is a cop who strongly believes in his family,and the lord.He has a strong spritual wife who is his back bone when needed.On the other hand Kerby was a cop just like his twin,but fell through the cracks,and became a junkie. Author Mylow Young will take you on the trials,and tribulations that Herby,and his family has to deal with his twin brother being a junkie.Will Herby,and his family break free from Kerby's junkie ways? Can Herby accept that his look alike twin is a junkie,and move on?Will GOD intervine,and guide Herby to help Kerby to break free from the demons that got a hold of his body? Only you (the reader) can answer those questions by reading it. Open the book to the first page,and you will end up reading it through to the last page,but I must let you know,be prepared to sink your mind deep into this emotional,spritual,thought provoking of a read.You'll come out from reading it with a different perspesctive,and say AGAINST THE GATES OF HELL is definitely a five star must read!
Unlike his many other great books that WalterMosley has created "Blue Light" is totally different from his other books.For me it was hard getting into it maybe because I had this preconceive notion that it would be like his other books.The jumping around from character to character made it hard to follow the flow of the writing in which it cause me to put the book a side. That's a first considering I thought all his books were about the same.That's what I get for thinking but I do get that all his books are the same meaning in mystery not plot.This does has mystery through out the book, but reading it gives off a mystical feel to it sorta speak.Read for your self ,and form your own opinion about this book yours just might be different from mines.
Don't you know how when you read a book the plot or the story stays with you long after you read it.Well,"Cheating On My Mistress" is one these books.Not only does it makes you mad it will also make you wonder about could this happen in real live. Check this out a married man who supposling is happy maried to his wife.BUT! and that's a very big but has mistress on the side.Now peep this he feel his wife or his mistress isn't good enough sorta a speak.So, he has another women on the side as well.His ego is SO big he feels he won't get caught up.Hmph! How does that old myth goes.Whats done in the dark will come to light....A must read!!
Tina,and Damon are the divorce parents of a teenager daughter.Damon has since remarried,but tina still has feelings for him.Even though he creeps over to her house every now and then for some nooky.I gave it three stars because it started off ok I was really getting into it until it change up with me figuring out where was the author going with the story. It started with Tina,and her ex-husband Damon and their situation they had,but without notice it takes you back to her colleges days when she first met Randy who at first is a dream come true.He sweeps her off her feet then later on down the line he mentally,and physiclly abuse her.
The plot seem choppy because I was settling into her,and Damons strange relationship then it takes you back to her being abuse by a man from when she was in college.Well she wasn't in college after the abuse started.After six years with randy it tells you how she meets Damon.
Abuse is a serious situation,and it's not to be taken litely.But, I really couldn't get into it without trying to see where the story was going.Also the punctiation was bit sparatic( this just my opinion)but some the sentences was cut off.The book version might be very different from where I download it from.
Why you should read this book?Because the author takes you (the reader) on a scavenger hunt with the characters as they try to solve riddles,and search for clues.She(the author)also throws in a little chemistry between the two characters that's on the hunt,but also puts in some drama to aide in the story line.Now keep in mind you(the reader)don't solve,or search for anything you are just along for the ride sort a speak.That's why Author Virginia Smith will heighten your emotions in certain instances just enough to get you to read a little further to understanding the character Susanna Trent mission in solving the riddles,and finding the clues,because it might be between life or death.So,becareful when reading this suspense(I say thriller)of a read because you (the reader) might find yourself caught up in...."A DEADLY GAME"
I like how the style of the character in the book is portrayed.Author Joe Humphrey introuduces us(the reader) to Kevin Bailey a typical guy who seeking a job,and a place to stay,the job he ends up getting is of PI(private investigator) work.Kevin very first case takes him all over the city of New York as well as the suburbs,and into Pennsylvania.He finds out there's more to being a PI than he thought.He gets hired for one case,and ends up solving a missing person,and seeking some info on a murder in which are tied into the original case he was hired to do.The Author is very descriptive in his writing style of the places Kevin Bailey has to go to to get info.Also I like how the author writes in detail of what the character(s) are doing as though your watching,I mean reading the character(s) play by play moves in the story.That just intensified the plot of the story even more,but be forewarned you have to read the book in its entirety to keep up with each characters that ties into the case Kevin is trying to solve.Oh! and please don't jump to any conclusion in thinking you are solving the case as you read along as Kevin is set out to do,because the author put a twist in there that you didn't see coming.A DIRTY BUSINESS it's just what it meant, because reading it you might think you KNOW how it turns out,but Kevin Bailey is the PI who ends up solving the case.A MUST READ!!!!
Now here's another book you can read over ,and over again and will not get bored.You get so deep into the storyline that characters come alive off the page.~Allison Hobbs~ is one of my favorite authors
OMG! OMG! This book is a must read!Let me tell ya why you have to read this book.Noire Will take your imagination on a ride that will have you turning the page just to see what happen to the characters in the plot.Here is a another reason why you should get this book.Juicy is a is the girlfriend of one of the biggest drug dealers in Harlem Granite Mckay has harlem,and most of new York on lock down.Granite has a club call the G-Spot where ever man can fulfil his sexual desires.Well Juicy has a sexual appetite that Granite is not fulfilling,and her desires are taking the best of her.This book you should have in your collection,so you can pull it out and read for simple enjoyment.I know I can,and have done.
Here's a book I like to keep on stand by to pull out when I don't have any thing else to read.Ok! I'm exaggerating a bit,but I like the book and it's a great read.Here is why you should go,and read Chunichi book."A Gangster's girl deals with a lady by the name of Ceazia who grew up with the finer things in her life.She's smart,intellgent,and she use her body to get what she wants.Well this diva comes across a man by the name of Vegas who's younger than her,but can give her anything she wants.The thing is he one of the top drug dealers in town at first it was a problem until he start lavishing her with expensive gifts.Ceazia is falling hard for Vegas,and would do just about anything for him.
A GOOD NANNY is a great read I like how the author explains the character in the story,and how she was living.At times I was smiling because of how the author explain who Miss Borrow is,in which she is the main character in the book.I also like how author Barbara House gave you just a little bit to keep you reading on to see what becomes of the story,and of Miss Borrow.When reading a book some times you think you know how the story is going to end,and then when you get there it's totally completely the opposite of what you thought.Well this book is kind of like that,well for me it was.It was like you can't put you finger on it, and it's like it's on tip of your tongue of what the book is about,but you can't get it for the life of ya. As you (the reader) read this book don't speculate of what's going to happen in the book like I did because when you get to the end,you'll be surprise.I know I was.Over all excellent read,a nice short story I'm looking foreward to more of Author Barbara House,books.

This book is HOT!HOT!HOT Read! I thought when I first read this book,oh yeah this was going to be another revenge type of book.But romance played a big part in it.Also seduction,and temptation play a major role.Lucas,Justine,And Simone are three people who lives envolves one another.One being Jealousy of the fact every thing is handed to them.So a cat,and mouse of seduction comes into play.I never thought a book would provoke some type of emotion the way this book did.I guess it was because I was rooting for the characters to some how live happily ever after ,without another persons envolvement.
You see this what this book does to ya .You be expressing some type of feelings for the characters in the book,and the plot of the story will draw you in so deep in it. t will do nothing but envoke emotion.

This book is definitely a must read!!!!

I couldn't not get into this book simple because,basically I was trying to understand where it was going.It talks about a vinyard, the growth of it,but it its being compared to the teachings of the bible.When it was talking about the vineyard it was as though she was (the author) refering to her past as a child. Then it goes on to quote some scriptures frome the bible.Then she poses question in the book as though(the author) is tryng to connect with the reader.After that it explain a couple of situations were it refering to the bible,and the vineyard.When I think I'm settle into her (the Author) explaining ,and possible helping someone out,it goes back to the story of her being in a vineyard,and how her father carefully takes care of the vines,and the fruit from it.

I just couldn't connect,or you might say follow the path that the author was trying to potray in her book,and to be quite honest I didn't get the conection of the vineyard,and how the bible were one in the same.It was like her explaining the bible through a story from her past of being on a vineyard then it goes on with helping some one with the explantion of the bible.Then in a couple of paragraphs she would say in the next few chapters you(the reader) will understand or follow what I'm talking about,as though reading it wouldn't just explian what she was already talking about.

So in other words I just had to put the book aside.It was to much of trying to follow what the book was all about.
Noire has done again with this book.Here is another book that's in my collection of must read where I can this bokre over just for the enjoyment of the story.Andre Williams Better known as Thu*A*licious grew up in Harlem with hoops dreams,and a rap career.He makes out of harlem to fufill his goal of becoming a nba all star with a rap career on the side,but his riase wasn't easy Thug*A*licious was a player in the field of women. he had his picks,and choosen of women.Only to find that some of them end up pregnant,but there is only one that has Thug heart,and another person will bring him down from his fame.You have to read the book to see who might bring Thug down,and I guarantee you that you'll be suprised.A must read!!
Author Mary Monroe takes you (the reader) across the towns of Shreveport,Silo and final Goons.She introduces us to the characters Ruby Montgomery,and her best friend Othella..and host of others.....We follow the character Ruby on her journey,and the reason for her chastizing, lies,healing,being religious,to being a devil in desguise.. and why The Upper Room, is the reason for Mama Ruby evilness,well not the room perse,but lets just say her daughter Maureen plays a major role.Mama Ruby character in the book you probably read or probably haven't read before,but I know one thing,She will remain in you memory as a character you just don't want to cross...... and to add to the story the author throws in some southern dialect .... that had me laughing...some of the words were Ax(ask),shet(shut),tetch(touch)..and and lot more.I had to read them over to get the gist of what they were talking about.Mind you it didn't stop me from reading on,in fact it just enhanced the the story much more.The Upper Room will have you laughing,crying,in shock,surprised,shaking your head,saying OMG,and literally have you droping your jaw........I really enjoyed this book!......This is definitely a MUST READ......
I couldn't understand where the story was leading.Because I thought the main point of the story was Tyler ,and his feelings,thinking,and anger about life,but then it leads off to all these other people,and there thinking,and thought process.In which it lead me to try to follow the flow of the story with all these characters.I don't know if the author was trying to intoduce these characters to us (the reader) to better understand how Tyler was living,but it just took away from the focal point of the story.I'm guessing
What can I say That I throughly enjoy reading Pious, he potrayed this peaceful tranquil life only to find out that his past was lurking around.Ilove how it starts off as real peaceful then it sets you up for twist and turns through out the book.Once you get settle in to whats going on Mechi lane Here comes another twist thats thrown in the mix that will shock you....A must read,of course it's a five star read
