Thieves Paradise was boring to me.
And Rosayln McMillian books are just somethin I cant get into, especially Blue Collar Blues and This Side of Eternity.
And some book I read, "A thin Line" was a waste of my $5 and 4 hours it took to read it.

And with Omar Tyree, For the Love of Money just didn't live up to my expectations. I read Flyy Girl cover to cover countless times, but the sequel just failed to deliver.
Diary of a Groupie could have been a whole lot better, especially with detailed background information.

Itz a couple more cant thing right now...Can i ask why no one liked Between lovers??? I liked that book..just didnt like how he was so in love with her :? and he was a good man
I liked Soulmates Dissipate and the sequel although some parts I thought were unrealistic and she didn't explain some events.

I didn't like between lovers or Thieves Paradise, I don't know why, but I couldn't really get into between lovers, and thieves paradise was not like his others. I also didn't like He's just a friend by Mary B. Morrison.

Omar Tyree isn't consistant. I loved Leslie, once I got into it, I couldn't put it down. I hear he's writing a sequel, which is good cause I wanna know what happened to her.

Diary of a Groupie was pretty good once you got into it, the end was confusing and I had to read it a few times for it to somewhat make sense :?

I didn't think "The Coldest Winter Ever" was really all that hot. It was cool at first, but after a while I got tired of the storyline, and now I don't even know where it is cause I kept on letting people borrow it. I have yet to finish it, so I guess I'll just have to buy another copy and try to read it all the way through this time.

The Sex Chronicles was a disappointment to me, but I think that's cause I like a consistant plot, and that book just wasn't as great as everyone told me it was. To me Addicted is the best book that Zane has written to date, so whatever you read by her, if you plan on reading Addicted too, read that AFTER you read whatever you have, or you will be disappointed.

Good Hair (I think it was by Shaneeska Jackson or something like that) was horrible.

I'm sure I have many more, I just can't think of them at the moment, but when I do, I'll be back.

Default I must agree...

Someone mentioned how HORRIBLE "Yo-Yo Love" was...I try to read different black authors to get them some exposure but I should've kept that two nights and done something else...

"B-More Careful" was also HORRIBLE...'nuff said

Another book that was good but really predictable..."True to the Game"...I liked the beginning but then it started getting very unrealistic and extreme...I am sure there are some people who can atest to living like they did but since I have never seen it, it seemed like a bit much.

"Diary of a Groupie" was boring and I have got past the part when she got stopped by the private investigator...That is all I can tell you!!!

"The Lies Men Tell and the Secrets They Keep" was a book that was either really poorly put together or really boot-legged. I bought it from the from Black Authors Tour when it came to campus and read it in one night but after I got done, I was left thinking "Was that all?"

I am sure I will think of more considering all I do is read, but I will have to come back for those...

I had to stop reading Diary of A Groupie...It was just slow. I finally got my book back from my sistah-friends and it was disappointing. Then there was Skyscrapers by Zane and that book was just not up to par with her others.
