Summary: Three-Dimensional, Strong Characterization!
Comment: It's always an enriching experience to read a sophomore novel from an author whose writing shows growth. Murray is one such author! From Chapter One she quickly roped me into Anya's story and I didn't let go until the very last page. Anya's life was filled with romance, intrigue and faith. It was faith which helped her to keep going after enduring a brutal tragedy. The characterization of Joy was strong and I especially liked how Murray showed us the depth of Anya's character via her relationship with her family(especially her grandmother and cousin), her fiancée who we all loved to hate and Anya's life as a professional/career women who was making significant strides as an African American woman in a predominantly male dominated profession.
Joy is a book about love, hate, trust, and betrayal with a great lesson in forgiveness and faith. Murray shows up how Anya uses her faith in God and the love of her family and friends to recover after a vicious attack by a stalker. At times, Anya did seem a little two perfect, but I especially liked that her story was positive and plausible. Murray presents Anya's strong Christian values in a compelling manner without sounding preachy and yet allowing the reader to enjoy a good story. Joy by Victoria Christopher Murray is a good read which I recommend to others who want to experience a good book while strengthening their walk with the Lord.

Summary: EXCEPTIONAL!!!!
Comment: If you read Temptation by Ms Murray, then you already know how well she can incorporate a message of christianity into fiction and not be preachy.
In Joy, you will not be disappointed. From page one, you are captiviated by the plights, the trials and tribulations of Anya and Braxton. A Christian couple engaged to be married, but it appears they may be unequally yoked and that could affect their relationship.
Throw in a little mystery (stalker) and a few distractions (handsome co-worker), some family issues (Madear and Sasha) and you have a great novel that will keep you turning the pages, neglecting everything else you need to do.
Scriptures sprinkled throughout the book that Anya relied on, can help anyone overcome obstacles they find in their way during their walk with God.
This book I highly recommend.

Summary: Excellent Book!
Comment: I truly enjoyed the book. There are some twists and turns in the book that you are not expecting and it makes you take a step back to take a look at your own beliefs. I would highly recommend it!
