Right on and Right on Time!
6 Feb 2001
By Keisha Wright
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
I read some of those other reviews where some people weren't satisfied, and it is unreal. Why are we ashamed of a character like Camille when there are women out here like her? She has low self-esteem, she makes some courageous decisions, and she starts to get her stuff together. No, this book isn't like Somethin' Extra. Camille isn't tough and foul-mouthed like Genie. But I get what Ms. Rice was doing here. The reinventing rules are motivational and the story had me in tears because on the real, every woman out here is not cussing men out and being tough. Truth be told, some of us have been a fool for love sometimes. This book did wonders for me and showed me that you don't have to stay with the same bad man out of fear. You can set your own goals and play by your own rules. Thank you, Patty Rice. I bet you are helping women all over the country with this fine book that speaks to the heart.

Don't expect too much
11 April 2001
By A Customer
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
OK I know this is fiction, and this was a fairly good book, but it left me wanting more and with a lot of unanswered questions. It read like a soap opera towards the end which felt abrubt to me. Some of the characters seemed to "perfect" - especially Greg. Overall I would recommend it as a good read, but don't expect to come out of it feeling empowered by the main character. The story was just not developed enough.

Good Message- Lots of Potential- But Disappointing Overall
22 Jan 2001
By A Customer
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This book had a lot of potential, but lacked overall direction and focus. The overall message was a good one, however the characters were not explored in enough detail. You are never quite sure exactly what drives the character's motivations. Camille lacked self-esteem because of the treatment she received from her mother as a child. When Camille returns home she begins to uncover and deal with the root of her pain, which allowed her to endure the abuse she suffered at the hands of her boyfriend for seven years. Yet- throughout the novel- you are never really certain if Camille understands herself. Camille never fully evolves and realizes her own self worth. I was left at the end with the feeling that she was just as mixed up in the end as she was in the beginning. In addition the ending of the novel justs drops off. After 300 some odd pages the reader is left with a twisted and rushed ending. It was like a bad movie. I literally wanted to throw the book down. I had to go back and read it again to even understand the ending. What a disappointing and lightly threaded ending. I understand that Rice was trying to add an innovative twist, but in attempting to do so she left this reader extremely frustrated. This novel had so much potential. There is a good messages throughout, but the novel never quite makes it there.
