Liar's Game

Rating:
Summary: Worth the money spent!
Review: The characters in Eric Jerome Dickey's book Liar's Game were so real! Anyone who reads this book will be able to relate to at least one of the characters. Dickey kept me in suspense with the Vince and Dana triangle. I've been there, done that. It always good to see someone portray a man in a positive light. Not ALL men think with their "other leg". It was also a pleasure to see African Americans as professionals, not on Welfare. Kudos to Mr. Dickey. I look forward to reading all of his future masterpieces!

Summary: Eric is great!
Review: This book was defintely a page turner. I finished it in three days and wanted more after the last page. The author continues to get better and I am looking forward to his next one. Must read.

Summary: Oops!
Review: I've read all of Eric Jerome Dickey's previous books and this one disappointed me. The storyline was weak and I was left wondering about some of the characters (Claudio, Gerri). Everyone is entitled to make a mistake and this is one of them. I will continue to support this writer and I've even encouraged some friends to buy the book because they might enjoy it. I'm not one of the readers who was enthuiastic about this book.

Summary: One of Dickey's best.
Review: I was on vacation so I started this book before I went to bed and got to page 82 and finished the book by 3'oclock the next day. It was definitely a page turner. Vincent and Dana could be characters that we know of could have been ourselves. Mr. Dickey manages to reach down and explore the complexities of man/woman relationships with an insight that is no less amazing. If there ever was a case for being truthful when you meet that special someone these two characters are good examples. In the beginning when it is so fresh, when the love is blossoming do we really want to know about the other person's credit report or desire to know about that night spent in jail eight years ago? No, we want that person to fall in love and then after they are hooked, spring the bad news on them. Also, Dana and Vince did not have closure from their past relationships. Vince needed to know why his wife cheated on him and her true feelings for him as well as Dana needed to separate her gratitude to her ex-lover from his cheating, manipulative character. Oh, the mistakes and pitfalls we keep falling into. If some of the past reviewers feel that Dickey's characters are recycled then I say human beings keep recycling the same relationship problems and the author is trying to tell us how many ways we keep making the same mistakes. I would recommended this book as one of his best.

Summary: He Does it again!
Review: Mr. Dickey shows how no one is perfect or without blame in any realtionship. He helped the reader to empathize with the characters on both sides of the coin.

Summary: You Go EJD
Review: Relationships are complicated, the more you lie the complicated they seem to get. This book was great I tore through as I have all of EJD's books. The characters are people you know, people you have dated and dumped due to lack of full disclosure.

Rating:
Summary: Fast paced
Review: EJD does a great job in telling this tale of difficult love finally come together. It would be great to see one story where the woman is meaner and not so accepting of the things that happen prior to her deciding to forgive the man anyway, or vice versa.

Summary: SOS... Same Ole Situations..
Review: This was not my favorite book and I could not finish it. In the beginning of the book, the character Vince sounded just like Tyrel of Friends & Lovers, Jordan in Milk in My Coffee, Stephan & Darnell in Cheaters. I can't distinguish one book from another. Eric Dickey may be a talented writer, however all of his books are "just alike" only characters with different names, but same quick-wit, fast talking, ghetto-fabulous personalities. His writing is Commerical Fiction at its best and that's why he's on the New Times Best Sellers list and I understand why. I'm not hateing on a brother, but I would like to read some stories from him that deal with characters who are more developed and have depth to their lives. I will keeping reading his works, hopefully I will be able to get through the next book without hearing the same voices and stories again.

Summary: A excellent read!!!
Review: Eric Jerome Dickey did it again!!!! This book is by far the best one that I have read. It is about two people struggling to be what the other one wants and needs, but all the while they are really hiding who they really are. This books focuses so much on what to many people are scared to admit, you have to accept people for who they are including all the baggage they may come with them. It is about giving second and sometimes third chances in the name of love. It is about learning about yourself as a person before you can bring love into a relationship with another. I love this book and you will to . . .

Summary: Skeletons in open closets...
Review: I am enjoying Dickey's depiction of the late twentysomething and 30's crowd. What's really enjoyable about this book is the things that I'm learning and his use of non-fictional references. It's nice to read fiction that seems so realistic. Plus, alot of kudos for his use of everyday language that has me laughing out loud, especially when describing his characters. For example, I got a good laugh at his description of Harmonica, and how a 'crop of razor bumps lived under his chin'. And how Harmonica says 'brang'. I wasn't expecting all these little extra treats that makes this book so enjoyable.

Keep up the excellent work and I'll keep buying.

Thanks.
