Rating:  Summary: A wonderful story! Review: I finished this book in one and a half days! It held my interest from the first to the last page. I had been curious as to how she would cover the interracial issues involved and Ms. Kitt..BRAVO!!!..You captured the feelings on all sides from Leah and her family to Jason and his friends and you pulled no punches. I have a few problems with the sister, because I have one and I can't imagine her doing anything like that to me and me taking it so calmly!!!..But it was a wonderful book and I'm telling all my friends about it. PLEASE write a sequel...SOON!!!!!
Rating:  Summary: When 's the MOVIE ????? Review: Great characters, well researched, s-m-o-o-t-h . . . At the end of a long day, reading this book is like skipping the main course and going directly to DESSERT. I want to see the movie. I want to read the sequel. I want to see the movie. I give it SIX stars !P.S. Tell the June 25, 1999, person to get a relationship.
Rating:  Summary: well defined characters and a real "90's" plot. Review: The characters involve you from the get go and hold onright to the last page. Well researched, so youreally believe in them. The tensions of an inter racial relationship are handled with warmth and caring. You sympathize with both people and want to follow their story with future titles. Sandra Kitt continues to show new talents as an author with each book. She is tops!
Rating:  Summary: the book goes beyond romance toward the literary genre Review: This book was seemlessly written. Kitt can write much better than most and I often felt while reading it that the book was reaching beyond the genre into something more literary and more interesting than just a run-of-the-mill romance. I highly recommend it.
Rating:  Summary: A beautiful love story. Review: This was one of the best love stories I have read, have only read three other stories like it. Please write another story like this one and give us a sequel to the color of love so I can find out how Leigh and Jason are doing.
Rating:  Summary: Thought It Was Just Me Review: I thought I was the only one who saw the ludicrousness of the story line between the sister sleeping with the boyfriend and the tart way they interacted. Red flags should have been raised with Leah, instead of the "oh well" attitude she had everytime her boy friend and her sister were in the same room. I found the sister over the top and WAY too catty to be real and neither she nor the boyfriend had enough flesh and bones to give cause for their behaviors. I never found out why. I did like the interactions between Leah and Jason and found that the most endearing part of the novel, but the high praises this book got did not mesh with the overall story and it's nice to know that it wasn't just me who 'didn't' get it.
Rating:  Summary: Thanks Sandra Kitt We want a sequel!!! Review: Involved in an interracial marriage I can definitely relate with this book! I am truly happy I found this book because it really touched home. This is a definite for anyone who believes in LOVE!!!
Rating:  Summary: Unrealistic portrayal of relationships Review: I found that this book had flaws that could not be disguised by the happy ending that both sets of characters seemed to have. I felt that Kitt was trying too hard to put these characters together and it was more of a forced relationship than a natural one. I felt that Jason was a typical white male who tried to forget that color was an issue and because he tried to dismiss it, he thought that the relationship between himself and Leah would work. Any relationship with obstacles, whether it be race, class, or anything else cannot go on with issues just being dismissed and i think that Leah recognized this which was why i appreciated her character more than i did any other character in this novel. I also felt that another flaw was Leah's sister. No respect there, and the fact that Leah was no upset with her ex or her sister was just ridiculous. If you put them in a real life situation especially after that rape scene that Kitt tried to dismiss between Leah and Allen, you will see that it doesn't happen that way. In real life, especially since Gail and Leah had tension before the Allen thing occured, they would not be talking or living in the same house. In fact, in real life, Gail would have moved out or Leah for that matter. And also to bring up another flaw, the antagonist of this story, the young black man, who was convicted in the end. That's really ridiculous. This novel made all African-american men and women look bad. But, ironically, I am glad that i read it.
Rating:  Summary: WARNING!!! Do not pick up this book if you can't read it twi Review: "Color of Love" is one of the best books i have ever read. It is a geniune love story, not too mushy. The characthers were real, the interest and curosity gave way to a real love. Leah and Jason were so interesting, each with their own past and present problems to overcome. It is hard not to pull for this couple. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, GIVE ME A SEQUEL!
Rating:  Summary: Excellent Reading!!!! Fantastic Storyline!!!!! Review: I have never read a book that had me so involved with the characters. I've read the book over and over again looking for something unreal in the storyline but each time I seem to get even more enthused. I felt for both Leah and Jason. Gail's character, as well as Joe's and Spano's, were true to life. The emotions were so real. I think every facet of having an interracial relationship was properly explored. THIS BOOK DEFINITELY NEEDS A SEQUEL. WE NEED TO KNOW HOW THEIR MARRIAGE AND GAIL AND ALLEN'S MARRIAGE FEARED. MS KITT THINK ABOUT THAT!!!!
