Summary: A great story you can't put down
Review: I read this entire book in less than 24 hours. That says something for the author. As usual, Mr. Harris spins a tale that you can't get enough of. He introduces characters that you can stand and characters you can't. Then he weaves them in one story while they each have something else brewing on the side. He doesn't completely satisfy your hunger one sitting in his books. This hunger is what pulls me across the gap to his next book. So Mr. Harris, I am waiting.I have seen Mr. Harris' work seriously criticized, but his development of the character John Basil Henderson has been excellent. He was a secondary player in this edition, but wanting to understand him is part of what kept me reading the book. He is a scoundrel that gets what he deserves, but you still don't hate him. I hope that Mr. Harris will continue to expand on this character.

Summary: Harris Does it Again....
Review: E. Lynn Harris has to be one of the best writers. This book is just as powerful as his prevous books. The situations in the book are real-life situations and he really has his characters tackle them well. Kudos to Mr. Harris!!

Summary: I don't care how many people gave it five stars...
Review: I love to read, and being an English major contributes to this factor...but this book was not the bomb. I took this book from my mother after she gave me her word it was good--too bad my mother and I have two different tastes. Now, maybe I didn't give the book a chance, but if you can't pull me in after seventy pages...you're not going to pull me in. I expected a great deal more from E. Lynn Harris....too bad he didn't deliver!

Summary: As w/all of Harris's books, "It's All Good"!!
Review: E. Lynn Harris writes with such compassion and makes the characters come to life. Reading "If This World Were Mine" makes you feel like you're there, with friends, family and other loved ones you've known all your life. I've read all of his books, and been disappointed by none! Anxiously awaiting the next chapters of life, love and the pursuit thereof. Come on with it E. Lynn!

Summary: SHOCKING, FUNNY, REAL, HARD TO PUT DOWN!!!!!!!
Review: THIS BOOK HAD ME OOOHING AND AAHING TO EACH CHAPTER, ESPECIALLY WHEN JOHN WAS CAUGHT IN THE "ACT". I COULD NOT BELIEVE THE OUTCOME BUT HAPPY ABOUT THE VALUE OF FRIENDSHIP. EACH AND EVERY CHARACTER HAD A STORY TO TELL AND THEY HAD SOME ISSUES THAT HAD TO BE DEALT WITH. E. LYNN HARRIS HAS MADE EACH AND EVERYONE IN THIS NOVEL JUMP OUT OF THE BOOK, I WAS LAUGHING, CRYING AND HESITATING TO MOVE ON, CAUSE EVERYONE OF THEM WAS REAL AND ENCHANTING IN THEIR OWN WAY, MAD PROPS TO YOU, I HOPE THAT A MOVIE COMES OUT NEXT, I WILL BE IN THE FRONT ROW SUPPORTING THIS HARD TO PUT DOWN BOOK....

Summary: Creative and refreshing
Review: An African-American co-worker shared this book with me, and I couldn't put it down. The characters were accessible and I feel closer to those around me. I was turned on by the fresh approach of writing from each character's point of view; very innovative! Can't wait to read another of Mr. Harris' novels.

Summary: A MUST READ FOR MEN AND WOMEN
Review: Being a big fan of Mr. Harris and his previous novels (all three, of which I own), I could not wait to go out to purchase this one. He more than lived up to my expectations with his fourth novel. The drama was sooo real. The Characters were real and very well developed. I was glad to Basil come back. (Who knew he has so many issues.) I am eagerly awaiting his fifth.

Summary: Very riviting, would like to read it again.
Review: I came across this book in library, not knowing what I was in for. I would love to buy this book and read it again. I found myself telling everyone about the book and they all seemed interested and wanted to read the book also. The characters were all excelent. If you want to read a book that you won't want to put down read this book!!!
