5.0 out of 5 stars Food for Thought, 26 Aug 2002
This review is from: Milk in My Coffee (Paperback)
Having just read "Milk in My Coffee", I must say that the brother Eric Jerome Dickey has again written another awesome book! This deals with our perceptions of others in relationships and also what we automatically assume; it highlights the fact that we must never 'assume' anything with anyone....we could well just be wrong! There are controversial issues regarding black and white relationships that stimulates a healthy debate and also helps in identifying how we can without thinking, become ignorant if our opinion differs from someone else.

Jordan had to face up to his own assumptions of people in different types of relationships...the ones he had with J'nette, Solomon, his brothers and Kimberly. In dealing with it, he learnt a lot about people, himself, and came through a better and stronger person and was able to share that with others..
KEEP ON WRITING ERIC! You have the gift!

5.0 out of 5 stars First time reader of Eric Jerome Dickey and I Loved IT!!, 19 May 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Milk in My Coffee (Hardcover)
Being a sister that (I have to be honest) gets a little twinge when I see a "brother with another" I was first hesitant to read this book.. However I did and from the very beginning it hooked me.. I found myself feeling the character Solomon and his interaction with Kimberly.. I even put my guard down and said this couple is working out, regardless of all the "drama" they encountered. He wrote a book with the emotions of a woman in the character of the man.. I felt he realistically portrayed some how sisters react when they see a "brother with another". However, I loved it when he threw in the suspense, with the ex-husband situation, the betrayal of the best friend the loss of a job, the love of family, the realiness of the sister-n-law and his brother. Eric wrote real situations most of us can relate to.. Just when I had accepted the fact that this brother was loving this woman, he threw in the big surprise.. This book, caused a gamut of emotions for me.. I absolutely loved it.. And when the surprise was revealed in the end I silently smiled and said YES!! I am glad I picked it up and blocked out the hesitation and gave this author a chance.. I will be now be backtracking to read his other novels..

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliantly readable book!, 12 Aug 2001
This review is from: Milk in My Coffee (Paperback)
This was my first book by Dickey- and I'm coming back for more! Great characters, characters you really warm to and a believable and inventive storyline. It's a book that'll make you laugh, cry and think. It's the story of black software executive Jordan and his sometimes surprising and sometimes heartwrenching struggle with coming to terms with his falling in love with a white woman. It also touches on the subject of racism - but a reversal of the usual roles: the racism of blacks against whites and against any black individual involved with a white person. More than anything though, with sensitivity, warmth, understanding - and always in an entertaining and highly readable way, Dickey affirms that the only sensible way of viewing a person is as an indivudual, not as part of a collective, be that racial or religious or otherwise. And if we fall in love, it shouldn't matter whether the person is black, brown, white, yellow, pink or blue- it's the person that counts. A simple truth we seem to forget too often and too easily. An excellent read!
