In the Arms of One Who Loves Me

Rating:
Summary: Half Way
Review: In the Arms of the One Who Loves Me was a book not only about finding that special someone, but about finding yourself. The two main characters, Nia and Seth, are attempting to meet their goals in life. Opposition, however, is constantly in their way. The novel essentially deals with each character separately, allowing the reader to become intimately involved in both Seth and Nia's lives. It leaves you with a feeling of hope -- that everything will eventually work out in your own life -- and a sense of knowing that no one can affect your life more than you. I loved the book and can't wait for more from Mrs. LaMon. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Nice try Jacqueline
Review: The dude on the cover reminds me of Maxwell, one of the only reasons I just had to purchase this book. Don't they look hot yall? This book for me was only eye candy. After painfully reading my way through the first chapter I wanted to get my money back. "She" I forgot the main female characters name, well she gets on my nerve. Where is the back bone sistuh? She got fired from her job and didn't even put up a fight to keep it. Instead "She" allowed herself to be pushed around. Weak.
The second chapter wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. Seth, ahh I know the mans name, well Seth seems cool and likeable, but after getting a quarter ways through this novel I realized one thing, it's boring me into a coma. There is no drama, action, nothing. The book is uneventful, dull, and falls into the unoriginal pit of all the other 'bad' novels I've read. Too predictable.
I'm not knocking Jackie, she has potential, the sister has a way with words, but just not the right way, or shall I give a little literary humor and say "not the-write-way"

Summary: Don't judge a book by it's cover
Review: We've all heard don't judge a book by it's cover. No matter how much we visualize our own vision while reading, you cannot help but to wonder or figure out what the author was trying to do by putting these 2 people on the cover., it's totally misleading. Furthermore, the book was really boring, it was nothing exciting nor did anticipation make me want to read this book. I will credit the author for having such wonderful writing skills. She should have opt to sticking to one character per book. Maybe her 2nd novel will be better.
