Summary: Humerous, Witty...........Overall Pretty Good!
Review: Prior to buying this book, I had heard rave reviews about Zane's "Addicted". However, when I went to purchase the book, it was sold out everywhere. So, I did a search for her other titles and came up with "Shame on it All".

This book started out quite funny, and was very entertaining at times. However, even though I expected a "can't put down" book, I found myself reading it in spurts. It was hilarious at times, but it could have done without the "commercial breaks" and the characters could have been a little more defined.

"Harmony" was depicted as "strong, dependable, etc", however, her character was lacking emotion at times. And for the "mature, professional, black woman" the character of "Bryce" was trying to be, she was very unprofessional in and out of her work place and left the impressionable stereotype that corporate America gives us as black women. I couldn't related to the character "Lucky" personally, but I do know young girls get caught up in situations they haven't thought through.

Overall, the book was pretty good, and Zane definitely has potential. For the fact that she kept laughing, if nothing else, is enough to make me read more of her books. With her writing flare and 'way with words', once she develops her characters a little more, she will soar. From one sistah to another "Keep up the good work!"

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent
Review: I have read all of Zane's books, this is the funniest one yet. It is a must read for anyone looking for a good book to curl up with and just read. As Zane quotes in her acknowledgments, I would recommend that you go for it and write Shame on it all again. I would be the first at the bookstore to get my copy!!

Summary: A Rip-Roaring Hilarious...AND Scandalous, MUST-READ Novel!
Review: I betcha my Memorial Day weekend was freakier than yours! Well, if you're in a conversation with the Whitfield sisters, be prepared to lose that bet!

Shame On It All (SOIA) introduces us to the wildly eclectic Whitfield sisters: Harmony, the eldest, owner of a temporary agency AND a big secret; Bryce, the middle child, outspoken, boisterous and a LOVER of men; and Lucky, the baby girl of the fam, who is in the midst of medical school AND a controversy.

The reader is immediately thrust (no pun intended) into the sexual escapades of the sisters as they share their Memorial Day exploits with one another over lunch...exploits that will ultimately change each sister's life forever. The novel encompasses all that one would expect to find in that wonderful relationship between sisters -- love, spite, crazy conversations, humor, and enough drama for you AND your mama.

SOIA is THE funniest novel I have ever read. Zane kicks some serious butt in her snappy dialogue and comical exchanges between the characters...and the inclusion of commercials throughout the novel is innovative and perfect for the novel.

SOIA is full of comedy, realism and drama, and is definitely a novel you won't want to put down until you're DONE. Zane's characters are so real, so three-dimensional, I felt as if I was rolling my neck and smacking my lips along with the sistah girls.

On the lighter side, SOIA is packed with crazy sexual exchanges and comedy, but it is firmly grounded with a tight drama full plot line that will toy with your emotions.

Anyone who has read Zane's previous novels will most definitely seek out SOIA...and to all the Zane newbies, this is a great treat to begin with.

Summary: COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN!!!
Review: You all it's been a very long time since I read a book that literally had me laughing out loud. I do a vast majority of my reading on the way to work, and on the way home. I know that I was disturing others while cracking up on the bus, but I couldn't help myself. I mean all through the book this author is halarious. I have never encountered an author that has such a play on words.

The Whitfield sisters start out as little girls, and they were funny then. What I really appreciated about the three of them is their closeness. They were tight, and if you tampered with one, you tampered with them all. I've just learned there's going to be sequel to this book. I can't wait.

I highly recommend SHAME ON IT ALL. Especially for times when you want to entertain yourself. Buy it, you won't regret it.

Keep up the good work, Zane, and thanks for the laughs. You're my new friend.

Summary: I Don't Know...
Review: Zane, I'm sorry baby girl, but this wasn't your best. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying black women can't be sucessful. All I am saying is Shame On It All was WAAAAAY out there. It almost makes you ask is this forreal? It's one thing to be sexual, but damn, putting blood in the food???? Thats downright nasty, Zane! I think you're becoming desperate because you see the other erotic talent thats up and coming. If you want a good read by Zane, try Nervous. Her best one yet. Sorry, but don't waste your money on this one.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: MY INTRODUCTION TO ZANE
Review: Shame on it all was a great read. This is one of my first novels by this author and I will read her other novels to see how talented many readers say she is. I can definitely say that she knows how to entertain her audience because I was hooked from page one to the very end. My friends say that I got much more to look forward to with her writing and I can't wait.

Rating: 5 stars
