Review
Quinn Eli "The Philadelphia Inquirer" Tyree's prose is engaging, vibrant, and hightly readable.
Product Description
Omar Tyree has heaps of talent and a growing following. What is more, he is one of the few young black African-American writers whose fiction addresses the contemporary problems of male-female relationships. In FLYY GIRL, Omar follows Tracy Ellison, a young girl with light brown hair, slanted hazel eyes, tall hair and plenty of attitude as she comes of age during the hip-hop era. Motivated by the material life, Tracy, her friends, and the young men who will do anything to get next to them are plunged into a world of violence, gratuitous sex, and heartbreak. Slowly, Tracy begins to examine her life, her goals, and her sexuality - as she evolves from Flyy Girl into a woman. A captivating tale, written with fluid narrative and contemporary dialect, FLYY GIRL captures the complete feel and sounds of the streets and is destined to become an urban classic.

No punches pulled here, Omar tells it like it is. A great story but there are areas where I get a little too much detail and the story can deviate. But overall the plot is good, I prefer this to his other novel "A Do Right Man" but it could be that the language used is more suited to a youngster. Not yet able to put Omar in the same league as E Lynn Harris, Terri Macmillan & Eric Jerome Dickey, but he's getting there

I love all of Omar Tyree's books they make you feel like your actually there experiencing everything, sometimes when I read it on the train I nearly end up missing my stop cause I just forget where I am. I recommend all his books to my friends and I even gave Flyy Girl to my Fifteen year old brother to read and he couldn't wait to get home from school and catch up. Keep up the good work Omar Tyree u have fans everywhere.
