( especially students). This was a very good book.
Harlem Nights and Footstep Blues by Julius Jamaal Mclean
Wow!! This book of poems was EVERYTHING. Being a poet myself, I can surely appreciate the love, experience and choose of words to paint such beautiful art. I got chills reading these poems, thinking " dang, this guy really is awesome."
� My favorite poems, if I may... because they ' re all amazing. But I have a few that kind of pulled me in:
� Mother Nellie... I wished she was my grandmother. She seemed wise and the coolest most understanding woman to know.
� My Lucky Girl... I ' m like " where ' s my lucky guy?" Lol
� She... Her!! Them. Never we. I loved this creation. It was so delicate.
I highly recommend this book to all upcoming and current poets. Also to readers alike.
The grammar and spelling were so on point, not one mistake in sight. The poems flowed exceptionally, and I could imagine someone reciting one to me. If you love crazy wordplay, awesome synonyms, and highly visual words, pick up this book and read. Then share. You ' ll be surprised to see someone ' s reaction if you presented this amazing book as a gift. Go Julius!
College Life 102: Social Learning by J. B. Vample
This second installment to the series was such a great book. It was full of excitement, lies, crushes, and college pranks. The editing of the story was superb. No errors in sight, and that feat alone isn ' t conquered by every author. The cover of the book was cute and flashy. The cover actually details the book. It fits perfectly.
The characters were introduced well. Although readers will pretty much know everyone, they added on a few extra characters. These new characters were introduced in part one, but they got action in part two. However, the author still gave details just in case you didn ' t read both. The plot was very well written. I loved how the author threw some spice in it to make it different from part one.
This book was really funny. The jokes will have you in tears. The book flowed very well. It was easy to keep up with. I was hanging on to every word. I loved how the author merged these groups of kids together. They were all different but yet they made it work. The author ' s series will help kids and parents understand what it is like to go to college and fit in. She put this story together very well. I would recommend this book to all readers
Lovin’ the Enemy by Imani
This was the first book in a while that had me on the edge of my seat. The characters were very believable and a few characters actually reminded me of my own relatives. This book was a great length and I felt like it held my attention the whole time. The story kept at a perfect pace the entire two hundred pages of the book.
The cover of the book is a huge thing for me and if it can’ t hold or grab my attention, I will keep looking elsewhere. This cover held my attention as soon as I saw it. There was something about it that screamed mystery. I personally enjoyed the rawness of the writing and the authors ability to make you feel like you were in the moment with the characters.
I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a good urban story that has family drama, lies, secrets and sex. I will be grabbing part two very soon so that I could finish this story. Imani is an author that will be making a name for herself very soon. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did. Awesome job!
