Summary: Thank God, the World does not belong to E. Lynn Harris
Comment: Actaully I would give this book 2.5 stars. The best part of this book are the journal entries written by the characters themselves because they actaully allow you to get into the character's head and into the emotional context of each character. We get some more insight into the character of John Basil Henderson but it is not enought to make me care. Ever time I read a E. Lynn Harris novel I say "NEVER AGAIN" after I finish it, and yet like a glutton for punishment, I go back time and time again. Why? Mr. Harris is not a strong writer but tries to make up for his lack of writing ability with his plot twist and turns. While black gay men and straight black women gush and early await the next book in his mutli-seller book chain,the rest of us scratch our heads and wonder "what all the hoopla is about." There must be good, black gay writers out there somehere. Yet E. Lynn Harris get national accliam for his writing. How sad.
Also I very tried of E. Lynn's sanitized views of gay sex. If I read one more time "his sex. . ." I think I'll throw up.
Rating: 4
Summary: A quick read, w/food for thought to boot!
Comment: E. Lynn Harris has done it again! He's written another book that is HARD to put down, with characters you want to know better. For those who are familiar with the John Basil character, you will be pleased to know he's baaack, and with another dimension which I hope is explored in future novels. I now understand the scars which have created the person that he is, although now I see, that once he finally confronts those demons he'll be a decent guy. Hey Leland, are you listening? Above all, there is a deeply spiritual thread which runs thru all of Mr. Harris' writings which always leave me with a renewed affirmation on life and relationships.
Overall, E. Lynn has come up with another winner, and i personally cannot wait for the next novel
Rating: 3
Summary: A must read
Comment: As usual ELH does his business of writing very interesting novels. If you haven't read the books in sequence it definitely puts things into perspective w/Basil and others.
