Summary: Great Book
Review: Bad things happen in threes when it comes to J. Aundre Clinton's, Sins From The Past. January symbolizes for most of us a fresh start and the old adage "out with the old and in with the new." For Dae'Mon Greene, the new year of 1988 is full of surprises, pain and betrayal. Living in reclusion from intimate relationships has been Dae'Mon Greene's lifestyle for the past five years. But when a chance encounter at a New Years Eve party with best friends, Kevyn and Justice, offer up romance with Milton Parker, sparks fly and so do fists before the night ends. Kevyn has chased Milton for three years, and Milton has chased Dae'Mon for nearly as long. Throwing caution to the wind, Dae'Mon and Milton begin a torrid love affair as Kevyn broods in anger with promises of bodily harm. Dae'Mon has finally found love, hope and prosperity until an accident forces Milton to divulge a secret he has known for three years.
Sins From The Past is a glimpse in the life of Dae'Mon Greene and his quest for true love. For this reviewer the homosexual theme was not as profound as the love story itself; however, the stereotypical behavior of gay men rang loud and clear and over the top. While characterization between Dae'Mon and Milton was excellent the story suffered from an underdeveloped plot causing this reader to feel disjointed near the end. Nevertheless, J. Aundre Clinton captured my attention emitting feelings of compassion for his male protagonist. I will follow up with Dae'Mon and his crew in the sequel to this engaging debut.

Review: I was given this novel last year as a Christmas gift and was finished reading it by New Years Day. I am actually re-reading the book again and once again I am unable to put it down. It's a great 1st novel by the young author and I am hoping for a sequel very soon. Five of my friends has, also, read their copy and agree that it's one to add to your collection.

Review: I'm not actually 12. Just didn't feel like filling out forms.
I commend J. Aundre Clinton for his efforts at becoming an author. Although the book was very intriguing, I disagree with the inspiration for the book. It was actually written based on some of his high school experiences. As a matter of fact, he used some actual clues in the book that would let anyone that went to school with him know exactly who and what he was talking about. This is THE BEST MAN for the year, especially since I can go to the halls in my high school and look at these people's graduation pics.

A Story You Won't Soon Forget
Sins From The Past is a refreshing, provocative and thought-provoking peek into the world of relationships and love. It is a story of laughter, joy, happiness and pain all tempered by a dose of reality. J. Aundre Clinton has done an excellent job of constructing realistic characters in a very believable world. The readers will find themselves turning the page to figure out what will happen next. Sins is well-written and forces the reader to critically examine their own lives, friendships and relationships in search of meaning, value and personal safety. Good job, Mr. Clinton...I wish you all the success in the world. I can't wait for the next!
