Summary: A rising STAR
Review: This is really for Mr. Majors...great job. Who says men can't express emotion. You are right on the money. I can not wait for your next book. You are a positive black male author and you MUST pump out your books faster. I vote for you to get movie rights. Who do I need to write to? I liked the Barber Shop scene, way to get your point across. Concerning the love of Bunges and Mike, even if they do not make it, at least they and their friends now know what real love is to look like..If they do do they adopt the kids.

Summary: No Sophomore Jinx Here!
Review: Marcus Major's second book, 4 Guys and Trouble, is a refreshing change from the "all-men-are-dogs" theme that is prevalent in today's literature.The overall plot gets kudos: four intelligent and attractive black males who voluntarily pull together to honor their late frat brother and raise his baby sister after his death. They not only pooled their resources to buy rental properties (thus increasing their collective wealth), but they also did the same in order to buy said sister a new car and allow her to live rent-free while she concentrated on school. How can I be down? Ibn, Mike, Dexter, and Colin are so different yet very similar: black men making their niches in the world while dealing with the women (or lack thereof) in their lives. The women in this book are actually stereotypical: there's the trophy (Tiffany), the ballbreaker (Stacy), the golddigger (Denise), the reformed hoochie (Shanice),the secret admirer (Stephanie)and the ugly duckling-cum-swan (Erika). Actually, the men are too: the player (Ibn), the Nice Guy (Colin), the dumb jock(Dexter), and the Good Friend(Mike). However, Mr. Major makes the sterotypes work for him and not against him. I must admit, it was a bit scary to be that up close and personal with the inner workings of the male mind. Mr. Majors does an excellent job of portraying the tensions in all of the relationships in the book, both platonic and romantic. There were some nice surprises which played out well without being trite or too predictable (except, perhaps, for Colin's story). I like the way each character was allowed to come into his or her own (especially Tiffany). I especially liked the development of the relationship between Mike and Erika and the ensuing reaction of the rest of the crew. That was a well-written scene that made for pleasurable reading! While all of the characters were relatively well-developed, I would have liked to have seen more of Ibn, especially the reasons why he worshipped money. I got a glimpse of why, but it may not have been obvious to the average reader. Ibn was the most likeable character; he was crass, arrogant, and a womanizer and made no apologies for those facts. He was just real. This book is definitely a keeper!

Summary: ONE OF THE BEST IN THIS GENRE
Review: I promised myself I would not read another 3 or 4 girls or guys story, just sick and tired of these types of books. Normally the stories are so inane and silly they defy all reason. A friend whose judgment I trust told me to read this one. She said it was one of the best. She is absolutely right. After the first couple chapters I couldn't have cared less how many characters there were. Majors' writing is very smooth and genuine. The characters are well developed and while boys will be boys it is never silly and unrealistic. I even came to love bad boy Ibn. Make an exception in this case.

Summary: Had potential to be MUCH better
Review: This book had a SLOW start. Due to all the positive reviews it received, I expected something a bit more explosive. It took me awhile to get past the first few chapters. It's not like I didn't have the time. It was just whenever I picked it up, I felt the urge to put it back down again after reading a page or so. I took it on vacation with me and finally progressed throughtout the book. Marcus Major writes with too much narration and not enough dialogue. I hated his character "Bunches" from the start. She was a spoiled little Miss Know It All that the four men treated like gold. Mr. Major should have developed her more to give her a bit more of a personality instead of letting the four men run her throughout the book. The ending was RUSHED. Go figure. Once Bunches' and ????'s relationship was out in the open, I expected the book to continue so that readers could see what would come out of it and see how the other three guys would except the relationship after their initial shock. Mr. Major didn't give readers that option. The way he ended the book, a sequal is needed.

Summary: Another Winner!
Review: This book is very good! Ibn is a riot, and Tiffany did it her way. I appreciated the well developed characters and the authors high brow sense of humor. These were truly "Good Peoples"!

Summary: What can I say?
Review: I LOVED IT! This book was so good I couldn't put it down. And like the other reviewers before me said, Marcus made you feel like the characters were real and we've known them forever. I also read "Good Peoples", it was good, but this was great. Keep it up Marcus.

Summary: I'm still trying to finish it
Review: I haven't gotten past chapter 4 yet, and I've had this book for a little bit now. I just can't seem to get into it. I mean it looks like it's a good book and all, but I just can't get into now. I mean I read his other book "Good Peoples" and it was excellent. Maybe when I'm in the mood to read it again, it might be better. I'll let you know in the future.
