Summary: The Moore Family Is Back!
Review: Marcus Major came on the scene in 2000 with Good Peoples, a fresh, funny, original spin on the guy-girl relationship novels. A Family Affair, the sequel to Good Peoples, brings back the original characters and he adds a few new characters such as teenagers Jasmine and Darius.

Jasmine and Darius, two teens with troubled pasts meet and this definitely turns into "A Family Affair" as her family members are worried about her seeing this young man since some of them believe that he's "bad news". Another major storyline involves the parents of Amir and Myles...

For fans of Good Peoples, it's pretty fun revisiting Myles, Marisa, Kenya, and Amir and the inclusion of the younger characters, Jasmine and Darius, gave this novel a nice breath of fresh air. Marcus Major writes realistic and fun novels and there were several laugh out loud moments as well. His novels are always written in quick, concise chapters that keep the story flowing and the laughs coming. The other nice thing about his novels is that there isn't a lot of "over-the-top" drama that can really get old and annoying.

Marcus is just a writer who, up to this point, hasn't disappointed. If you've enjoyed his previous novels, you'll enjoy this one too. The addition of the younger characters should appeal to a younger audience more than perhaps any of his other books.

Summary: It's a Family Affair
Review: This books picks up where Good Peoples left off. Its a couple of years later and Myles and Marisa are back. This time they are dealing with some problems that Myles parents are going through. Peg and Leonard have been married for many years and never really went through serious problems until now. They have custody of their niece Jasmin who is a teenager and is ready to have her own life and do whatever she wants. Apparently Leonard isn't happy and decides to step out on his wife with a younger woman. The family cannot believe that Leonard would do such a thing and its a trip to read how each family member deals with all of the problems that is going on.
This is a excellent book that faces problems that most families go through and deal with. There is a good amount of drama and surprises that goes on in this book. In my eyes this is a bestseller:)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Book
Review: This is a very good read. The Moore family had real good members that made the story enjoyable to read. I would recommend this book to others.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not a sequel...but a totally new twist for the Moore family
Review: This sequel to "Good Peoples" really didn't have a link to that book. It may have the same characters but the concept was totally different. But it was a good book though. The addition of Jasmine and the plot between Amir/Myles' parents added a twist to the story line.

But the characters that I wanted to see more of who were the main course in "Good Peoples" were Myles and Marissa. They really didn't have much story line in this book. There just has to be a trilogy about the Moores somewhere in the near future.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: KUDOS FOR M.Majors
Review: This was my first time reading a book by Marcus Major and it I must admit it was really a great & refreshing read. The characters were well developed and I just love the way the Moore sons protected there mother and treated there own wives. All & All this was a good read and I recommend it to others..

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: PHENOMINAL
Review: Was I about to burst?!!! Marcus did a fabulous job pulling Kenya&Amir from "Got to be Real" and the cast...YES CAST-MARCUS'BOOKS ARE THAT REAL TO ME!!... from "Good Peoples" and intertwining them all together in this fantastic, fast-paced, entertaining portrayal of an everyday family facing everyday issues. He pulled this one particular character so far from in the hat that I didn't even recognize nor remember him/her(can't let the secret out!). Whoa...and Dad! I was ready to kick his "ya know"! Family Affair is a "MUST READ" but before you do, if you haven't read Got to be Real & Good Peoples you will need to do that to be able to enter the homes/lives of these people and fully enjoy this story. Marcus, you've done it again!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WOW!!!!
Review: What else can is there to say? Marisa and Myles, Peg and Leonard, Carlos and Jackie, Amir and Kenya...and now Jasmine and Darius. The title is perfect for the shenanigans within the book....detailing the indiscretions of the family patriarch and how they impact the entire extended family. With just the right of drama and that wonderful Majors humor, the reader is in for a real literary treat. The biggest disappointment for the reader is in finishing the book...."what do I do now?"
