Rating:  Summary: if this world were mine hmmmm........... 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.
Rating:  Summary: Good Read Review: Years after graduation from Hampton University, this circle of friends keeps in touch through periodic meetings and journal writing. This is E. Lynn Harris' fourth novel so you know that at least one of the main characters is a gay man with a good heart. The infamous Basil Henderson appears in this story as well and adds twists to the lives of many. This time, though, E. Lynn sheds a little more light on Basil's background and you can, at least try, to understand why he behaves the way he does. I liked this book because it is real about the friendships it portrays. Nearly 20 years after college, these characters are still fighting, loving and learning from each other. The familiarity of the families, college life and professional pursuits make this book very easy to read and relate to. For those who love his stories, this is a good one. If This World Were Mine is crying for a sequel to tie up lots of loose threads.
