Just As I Am

Rating:
Summary: Best of the Trilogy
Review: This is best of the three books in the series (this is book II). I am not a black gay man, but these books really made me take pause -- if only for a moment. Very good book (but please read Invisible Life first!).

Summary: I moved to tears and then to laughter
Review: E. Lynn Harris is truely a talented man. While reading "Just As I Am" there were times when I was moved to tears one minute and to side splitting laughter the next. Through out the whole book, I kept saying I know someone just like that (associating the characters to people I know). I was thoroughly impressed with this book as I was with all of Harris' books.

Summary: ADDICTED TO E. LYNN HARRIS!!!!!!!!
Review: This is my second book by Mr. Harris and I must say that I am truly impressed. Just As I Am was the perfect sequel to Invisible Life. I could not put it down! Now that I am done, I am on Amazon. com to buy the third book in Harris's trilogy! I did however get a bit irritated at Nicole's color hang-up. I mean, I can understand her pain of being teased as a child but come on, she's all grown up now and an actress and the winner of numerous beauty pagents. Pleeezze!! It was refreshing in a way to know that Jared was not gay and yet had no qualms about he and Ray's friendship. But still a little part of me wanted him to be with Ray! E.Lynn Harris has really opened my eyes to the gay African-American community. I really enjoy reading his work and I just hope that he can write them as fast I can read them!!!

Summary: Couldn't put it down til the very end!
Review: This was the first book I ever read by E. Lynn Harris and I was buried in it from Chapter One. The characters are very real to life and captivating. All I can say is BUY IT and you will find out for yourself!!

Rating:
Summary: I LOVED THIS BOOK ALSO!!!
Review: I didn't think that he could top his first book, but I was wrong. Oh God, I loved this one too! I cried my eyes out when I was reading about Kyle. I mean when he died, I was crying so much I couldn't see the pages. I can't wait to read the next one.

Summary: A good read, BUT...
Review: After reading Invisible Life I couldn't wait to read Just as I am. I enjoyed it, BUT I thought Nicole was unrealistic, way to naive and Jared sounds gay to me. Overall I enjoyed the book and recommend it.

Rating:
Summary: Not what I expected
Review: It was a good book but not quite what I expected.Harris wasted too much time on Nicole. She shoudn't have even been a main charater she had no real purpose in this novel.In my opinion she should have died alone with her friend Candice or in the place of Kyle.Maybe faded out like Kelvin. I was so sick of Nicole.

Rating:
Summary: This was an excellent book.
Review: The book was very well written. I enjoyed the story lines a great deal. The setting was perfect a college atmosphere, where every experience them- seleves to find out who they really are. I think it gave a personal effect to the readers for the people who were going through the same thing. Keep up the great writing.

Rating:
Summary: A touching story of courage,love,drama,friendship,and more.
Review: This book is good for anyone that wants to know how people live with their choices, accept the responsibility of the choices they have made and the feelings, family and friends that go with it all. I was truly amazed at the quality of skill in the writing as it gave me the feeling feel that I could be related to any one of the characters in this book. In all I was truly touched.

Rating:
Summary: Meanful and exciting.
Review: I feel all Mr. Harris books has brought alot out of me to realize what life mean to me. For years I have been living a life that was not happy for me, and I owe it all to Mr. Harris for being the lamp to my feet in his writing by showing me that it is ok to be a certain way. In addition Mr. E. Harris book has inspired me to start my own book club to reading his books. I just would like to say all praise in writing goes out to him, and to say keep them coming. And I hope to me you some day, for you are the writer of the New Millennim.
