Summary: if this world were mine hmmmm...........
Review: I initially read this book on a whim on a slow afternoon in one of my friends house, what slowly started to draw me in was the authors particular attention to the intricacies of relationships, many people complained about the book being convoluted and the plot too thick but in essence arent all relationships? Thats exactly what the realistic even somewhat romantic approach to this book was trying to present, that love and relationships arent segmented into such easilt difestible bits. I recently picked up another book ofhis after the completion of this addictive novel and found that the characters rotate in and out of focus with each one. If you read this book you will see just how much friendship and love can mean through Mr Harris'sdepiction of all it's troubles and it's gossamer beauty. READ THIS BOOK.

Summary: If This World Were Mine
Review: This was another book that I did not too much care for. One reason because the characters had too much going on. But then again this book did keep my interest. And I was shocked at the outcome of this book too. This book was on a different style and I really like that.

Summary: Good Book!
Review: I liked this book. I'm not saying I absolutely loved it nor that I couldn't stop reading but I can absolutely say I liked this book. I liked the way Harris gave the readers in in-depth look of a gay man and a bisexual man. Yolanda was truly a great character, she was witty and I think alot of woman can relate to her. I enjoyed this book. However; I wasn't engulfed. Reading it became on and off when the plot thickened so much I could hardly see clearly where it was going. But I'm glad I kept reading because it got exciting again.There was a suprising ending and it was very unpredictable.

Summary: Classic Harris!!
Review: I just finished this book and thought it was wonderful! If you are E. Lynn Harris fan and liked Just As I Am, you'll love this book. It was written in a similar manner. This book seemed to be a little more humorous than his past books are. Added bonuses are characters from past books show up in this one. My only critiques of the book are that it started out a little slow and has journal entries written by the characters that tend to drag on a little.

Summary: Loved It!
Review: This man astounds me more and more. I've read everything this man writes and every time he seems to be getting better. In this novel he takes you into the lives of four friends, who have held there friendship together since college. I must say Yolanda and Leland were my favorites. Yolanda was such a strong black woman. Even when she's faced with some stressfull situations she still held here head and came out on top. Leland was such a sweetheart, I loved the way he held tight relationships with is Uncle Doc and with Yolanda. Riley was so irritating to me, but I was happy she delt with her problems and now is content with her marriage. As always I love the endings to his books and in this one, I felt so good for all the characters espacially Yolanda and Leland.

Review: This is a good book... I recommend it to anyone... though I was getting a littled tired of the book... it's very interesting... it talks from the lives of racism, homosexuals, and heterosexuals...

Summary: splendidly explicit
Review: How does E. Lynn Harris continue to come up with such beautiful work. This novel is written so nicely, expressing almost every detail in such an explicit way. I loved it.Congradulations again which I'm sure has been expressed by many.

Summary: E Lynn keeps getting better
Review: Of E Lynn Harris' books, If This World Were Mine is my favorite. I started with Invisible Life as a whim... I saw it on the shelf of a local bookstore. I thought it was a good book, but with each progressive book, E Lynn gets better and better.This novel follows 4 college friends as they come back together to establish a journal writing group. What I liked best is that the characters were wonderfully developed, so there were 4 stories intertwined. Chauncey, Dwight, Yolanda and Leland all grew in the book, and we also got a good peek at our continuing character-friend, Basil. There's laughter, tragedy, revelation and romance all in this 318 page book.I would definitely recommend this book to ANYONE. Enjoy!

Summary: E. LYNN DOES IT AGAIN!
Review: What a depiction and testament of how to deal in and with relationships and life issues. I've grown so fond of the characters from INVISIBLE LIFE to ABIDE WITH ME to IF THIS WORLD WERE MINE. They're old acquaintances of mine! I've felt their joy, pain, longing and shared their struggles. IF THIS WORLD allows more insight into the gay/bisexual male life-and all that it may involve. IF THIS WORLD makes obvious the truth that we all, whether gay,straight,bisexual, whatever, have the same needs,wants and desires-share the same life experiences. Ultimately, the message is that truth, to self and others, will render freedom.
