An real urban romance...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
In his first novel nelson george tells a tale of young love, lost and found amongst youb urban Black professionals in New york City. George does a fine job at reaching beneath the surface of his character and making them feel real. He also didn't allow the plot to become entirely predictable. He also gets points for writing about the beginings of hip hop culture. A very enjoyable first novel.
It was intriguing and peakful.

This is the first book I have read by Nelson George. I must say it was quite interesting. I now look forward to reading his other books, hoping to get the same joy I did out of this one. You go Nelson!
Excellent!!

I was highly intrigued by the book. Once I started reading I just couldn't stop. I was glued to the pages anticipating each and every word to follow. I felt as though the characters were real as if I knew them personally. I was just upset that they could not be together. But thats reality for you, sometimes its just too late. All I can say now is I miss the '80s.
THIS BOOK WAS GREAT!!

Nelson George has done a great job with this drama of love in the 1980's, showing the reader how men feel. He is normally a music critic. I think the book would make a great movie, but Hollywood feels Terry McMillan reaches a bigger audience. Bijan Bayne, author of "Sky Kings"
