5.0 out of 5 stars
An emotional tour de force, September 17, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Mambo Hips and Make Believe (Paperback)
A grabber that never lets go--I've read this powerful and moving novel a couple of times, and can't understand why everyone wasn't talking about it when it came out four years ago, and why they aren't still talking about it now. As a reality check, it transcends all PC and race issues. Reading it is a demanding but rewarding experience. Tamala, the unforgettable heroine, leaps off the page and into your heart. It certainly doesn't have a happy ending, but it is still an exhilarating one. I sat around for hours after reading it, absorbing the impact. Anyone who loves Coleman's short stories and poems will enjoy this action-jammed urban adventure. It's a must.
