5.0 out of 5 stars Now this is what I call DRAMA!!!!, May 7, 2004

This review is from: Drama Queen (Paperback)

This book was off the hook. I could not believe the things that were happening to Kayla, from her family to her men, they all did her wrong one point in time.

Everytime you think a situation has been resolved Mrs. Hunt will hit you with another dilemna. I can not wait until part two is released. I finished it while I was drying my hair and I had the nerve to be mad because the book ended. I wanted to hop on my computer and write my review right then and there.

I will say this though, the cover of this book did not do it justice. I know you should not judge a book by its cover, but when you look at the cover it will make you think of it being some type of drama in the street story, but its not like that at all. When you read the story you will see that ordinary working-class women go through the s--- too!!!!

Sisters and brothers read this book, you might see yourself on one side or the other!!!!

Got that kind of drama........


Kayla, Kayla, Kayla....if you can't have the man you want, find a man that reminds you of him! (Often imitated, but never duplicated.)

DRAMA QUEEN from the very beginning is filled with D-R-A-M-A!
Infidelity, Deceit, Broken engagements, broken hearts and that's just the prologue.

As Kay struggles to regain her life after being separated from her Geno for more than a year, she falls in pregnant by a one night hitter who turns out to be a married hustla who's all bull.

Then her Geno, who still has eyes for her, and she for him has a maniac of a girl who knows that she needs that ring before spring, but can't get him to cling.

Not to mention that her sister has her heart set against her and is at the forefront of deception.


NOW THAT'S TOO MUCH D-R-A-M-A!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kay has great friends and family who love and support her dearly. It's especially good to see that she stopped listening and relying on herself and turned to God. Didn't HE get her right together?

"That's your problem. You are trusting man when you should trust HIM!"

5.0 out of 5 stars Can you say....Totally An Awesome Book!!!, January 4, 2004

This review is from: Drama Queen (Paperback)

Drama Queen is one of the best books I have ever read in my life. Lajill Hunt had me rolling on the floor as I read this book. Personally I feel that trashing the book because of the profanity in the beginning is stupid - if cursing is the only problem you had with the book or all you had to complain about, then it's obvious that you haven't read this book or a Carl Weber one, because he does use profanity, or even some other AWESOME books I've read lately. This book had all the makings of a great story - friendship, love, sisterhood, sex and most of all DRAMA!!! If you want a great read and don't mind a little cursing here and there (yes, even in the beginning!), then check out Drama Queen. Her writing is just as good as the best of them. Take it from a Drama Queen in my own right, LOL!!!
P.S. What the are yout talking about w/the reviews - outside of yours and one other one - all the other reviews are giving Ms. Hunt 5 stars and raving about the book!
