Product Description

Review

"With a thoroughly entertaining and confident voice, Omar Tyree leads the pack of a new generation of [black] male writers." - E. Lynn Harris


Product Description

Will this Material Girl Ever Understand the Important Things in Life?; From the author of the New York Times best-seller for the Love of Money comes the fabulous mass-market priced reprint of this best-selling urban classic about a young woman coming of age amidst the greed of the late 1980s. Tracy Ellison, a young knockout with plenty of attitude, is living life as fast as she can. Motivated by the material world, she and her friends love and leave the men who'll do anything, and give them anything, to get next to them. With conflicting advice coming in from her more conservative neighbour and some political college students, Tracy thinks it's better to live life the way she knows how. It's only when her lifestyle threatens heartbreak that she begins to examine her life, her goals and her sexuality.

3.0 out of 5 stars What goes on in a teenager's head? READ THIS BOOK!, 23 Jul 2000
This review is from: Flyy Girl (Paperback)
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

5.0 out of 5 stars They're all wicked, 10 Feb 2000
This review is from: Flyy Girl (Paperback)
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.
