Summary: Not Himes' best
Comment: Himes leaves aside his usuall hard boiled crime novel and turns his hand to a farce. He should stay with the crime novels. I got the point, but the book seemed so dated that it often lost my interest. Himes does a great job of weaving social commentary into his crime novels -- see Rage in Harlem in particular -- and falters a bit when he writes a novel dedicated to social commentary through farce.
Rating: 5
Summary: AWESOME!
Comment: This was the most entertaining and shockingly funny books I have every read. It is so outlandish that it is hard to believe, yet it kept me in stitches laughing out loud. I highly recommend this book.
Rating: 5
Summary: Thought Provoking Sex Farce
Comment: I really enjoyed this book. It really made me think. It was also so darned sexy. It mostly dealt with race and sex...Primarily of the interracial variety.
I will never forget Mamie Mason the Hostesss With The Mostest and her Harlem Parties geared towards ending the "Negro Problem" of the Sixties. She felt she could end the "Negro Problem" simply by throwing parties and inviting White folks up to Harlem. Even though the book was written long ago the issues that surfaced in the book are sill very much with us today.
One day I would like to option this book for a movie....
