Summary: One of Omar Tyree's Best!!!!
Review: I really enjoyed this book. Omar Tyree took a different turn by writing a scary novel. The lead character Leslie is a beautiful Haitian girl who is attending Dillard University. Her life is very stressful due to her three roommates, her teenage mom of a sister, and a brother who let her down when in childhood. All together, life comes crashing down on her and the only way she thinks can solve her problems is to murder the ones who stand in her way of achieving peace in her life. This book will have you wanting to read more and more until you are at the edge of your seat.

Summary: Something to make you think...My kind of story!
Review: I was greatly impressed with Omar Tyree's work, "Leslie". In the past, I had read other books by the author, and felt that they were slow-moving as well as ennui. But after reading "Leslie", I conclude that the author has talent, but some stories, in my humble opinion, just lack luster. To overview the story, it is about a young woman, brought up in New Orleans that has a mysterious and haunting spiritual power. A power that serves as her own personal justice system, when the 'supposedly' equal system of America falters. Leslie was a quiet, protective (of her family), introspective young woman whose desire was to overcome poverty as well as uncover her own indentity. However, the cruelties of less unforunate living conditions, further take a pounding on her own well-being. Leslie's own gift bestowed upon her through her roots and ancient ancestory, aid her in fighting aggressively against her enemies.. Thought-provoking as well as symbolic, I highly recommend this book for those who would like a unique read as well as a fresh perspective on the grounds of poverty, love, mystics, family, and power all wrapped in one. A truly amazing book!

Summary: WOW!!!
Review: This book was the best book i have ever read. Omar Tyree gets better and better. Of all his books i've read, this is the best yet. Leslie, the main character was a strong, powerful young black woman. I could relate to some of the things and attitudes she showed and had towards others. She stood up for her heritage and family proudly, being a minority.I would this book again. The only bad thing about this book is the ending. He left us hanging at the end.Omar should have a sequel in the works.
