Summary: An Amazing Love Story!
Review: I couldn't put this book down. I finished it in two days! I especially loved the character of the Zach Man. He was such a caring African American male. It was nice to see a book defy the stereotypes. Ms. Robotham is an excellent story teller and her characters are very believeable. A lot of them are really troubled, which is like real life. The relationships run very deep. The book was also quite erotic in place. Also, the author really understands middle class life in Jamaica. I'm Jamaican like Korie and I could really identify with her background and I could see why she was so attracted to Zachary. I hope Ms. Robotham writes a sequel!

Summary: I LOVED THIS BOOK!
Review: I don't know where to begin. Zachary's Wings was such a beautifully written book, that I found myself wondering why Ms. Robotham had waited so long to grace us with her talent. The story line was incredibly rich and complex and the characters!--I felt as if Korie and Zach were members of my own family. I read quite a bit of fiction-- particularly works by Black authors. While I enjoy most of what I read, I find the plots to be somewhat predictable and formulaic. What I enjoyed most about Zachary's Wings is that I had no idea what was coming from one page to the next. Every time I thought I had the plot figured out, Robotham would take another unanticipated (and greatly appreciated) turn. I can't recall the last time Ive enjoyed a book as much as I enjoyed Zacharys Wings. Thank you!!

Summary: Thought Provoking
Review: I enjoyed Zachary's Wings. The more I read the more interesting it became. Z. W. is more than a love story. It is a life story. I enjoyed Zachary's character and his journey to self awareness. He, as are many social workers, was codependent and it affected all of his relationships throughout his life including familial, occupational, and intimate. (I am speaking as a social worker). I also applaud the author for touching on the community wide family secret of AIDS. I await the author's next novel. The epidemic continues because there are so many situations like Korie's out there. We must break through that denial. AIDS and homosexuality (two separate issues that can affect one another) can and does affect us all.

Summary: Entertaining but still unrealistic
Review: I found this book to be very entertaining and gripping. Actually, I could not put it down although its conclusion was fairly predictible. The book, however, is not suitable for even superficial analysis or discussion at a book club. As one critic put it, the book is quite "trite."

Summary: Not your typical love story
Review: I just finished reading Zachary's Wings. I took my time reading it becuase I didn't want the book to end. The characters are real people facing real problems. Korie had issues with what other people thought about Zach instead of concentrating on how she felt about Zach. She is also had issues dealing with the betrayl of her husband's hidden pass. Zach was the one to whom everyone turned to to tell their deep and darkest secrets. However, those secrets should not have been secrets but should have been truths told to the people involved. This book is an excellent read. I loof forward to reading more books by Rosemarie Robotham.

Summary: Well Written Debut Novel!
Review: I ordered this book by mistake but after reading the book description I decided to keep it. I'm glad I did as it was a very good read. Zachary Piper is a Philadelphia social worker with a heart of gold. Zach is a compassionate and easy going spirit who's always there for everyone else---family, friends, co-workers, clients and significant others. But who's there for Zachary? Enter Korie Morgan...albeit a driven soul with a fierce competitive nature...she appears to be the perfect mate for Zachary. Well at least she's there at the right time and in the right place. Over a swift weekend, their relationship quickly blossoms and they're professing their undying love for each other. However, there's a slight problem...Korie hasn't come clean regarding her current relationship. Zachary`s Wing is a compelling and though provoking debut novel. It's an intriguing story about the tangled web of secrets that begin to consume Zach and Korie's lives. Robotham's writing is fluid and lyrical. As she involves us in Zach and Korie's story she shares with us tough and taboo issues that they must face before they can truly be together. Controversial issues such as race, class and culture, sexuality and infidelity. Zachary's Wing is captivating and rich. The characters are memorable and believable and we share in their pain, joy, sorrow and hope. Zachary Wing by Rosemarie Robotham is an insightful and touching look into the nature of human relationships.

Summary: I fell in love with these people, especially Zachary!
Review: I really enjoyed this book! These people live and breathe for me. I was sorry when I was getting to the end. I wanted to spend more time with Zachary and Korie and Simona and Fran and all the others. This book is about love and family and how they're all that matter. After I finished the book I kept thinking about all the characters, like they were real. I felt like I knew these people! The book also took me places I didn't expect to go. There were a few surprises.

Summary: Surprising!
Review: I recieved Zachary's Wings as a Christmas present and had no knowledge whatsoever of RR and had never heard of this book, so of course I was cautious. I figured since RR worked with Essence Magazine she had to be worth a try. From the first chapter I was hooked. You will love the Zach and Korie and sometimes tears will form in you eyes because of the pain in this piece of work (if you are emotional like me). While I was reading I got the impression that the author knows these people so well as if she were writing about herself. This book has been out a while but do yourself a favor and read it. Every person should have a Zach in their lives and if you have never had the "Zach Experience" this book will leave you begging for this kind of compassion in a mate.
