1.0 out of 5 starsDECEPTION at it's best!
By Janeth C. Walker on August 13, 2000
Format: Hardcover
The original title, Flyy Girl, was such an awesome book. But on the cover of For The Love Of Money, it says, "Flyy Girl Returns". To what?
On the inside of this book, the acknowledgements read in part "Well...I'm back And I heard that you missed me." What I missed was.... a good story between the front of the jacket cover and the back. What happened? Why deceive us? One would think that while a reader can appreciate Tracy growing up and becoming a star as the author wants you to believe, what ever happened to real life drama on the way up to stardom? Tracy is still a very young woman, under thirty and as self centered as she was, I could think of many ways to have added at least a plot of some sort to keep my readers interested. The selected few who've read this book, kept reading, not because of the words on the pages, but because they invested a weeks worth of gas money and felt compelled to use it up.
I was going to return this book directly to the publisher with a letter of apology for buying the wrong book or at least a sympathy letter for them having to publish it. But I've since decided to keep it and check it out like libraries do. I wouldn't want anyone else having to waste money like this.
There are some good parts about the publishing of this book. To begin, Omar Tyree knows he's got a seller with this book simply because of the cover and it's an alleged part II. Omar Tyree also did something very unique in that he wrote in the past and present with each chapter and he's obviously a brilliant business person in his ability to create an attraction. The unfortunate part is that he omits realism with what can really happen to a young woman from the east coast coming to the west coast and encoutering true friendship, love, betrayal and deception, in a "full of drama" kind of way.
This book just lacks a story!

1.0 out of 5 starsGarbage In is Garbage Out!
By kelvin crandon on August 11, 2000
Format: Hardcover
Bro' Omar, what were you thinking? That you could throw a bunch of silly mix-matched words on paper just to call it a book? Or maybe you were on a tight dead-line for the publishing company and they had to put something/anything on the market. Whatever the case, you did yourself and your fans a serious disservice in penning For The Love of Money. I don't have to be a playa-hater to call trash exactly what it is. I liked Flyy Girl, but this mess doesn't even deserve to be called a book. If this is all it takes to write a book and get paid, I'm starting mine as soon as I finish typing this message.

1.0 out of 5 starsNegative Star, really
By A Customer on February 13, 2002
Format: Paperback
What is the point of this awful book? It's not even so bad that it's good, it's just bad. Where is the conflict in the story? What is the point of reading it? Why is it that Tracy just happens to be the all around best person there ever was, and her one flaw and problem is her past (which is brought up ad nauseum)
And then, to remind us that it is Omar the Great penning this fanciful flight into absolute inanity, the reader is presented with lines such as "You should write this book yourself, Tracy" (any self respecting writer WOULD do her own story, no matter what, because, DUH no one can capture what she felt better than she can. There is no way that Omar Tyree [playing the character of the invisible author] could be privy to most of her conversations; because the majority of her babble was just a waste of space. If he WAS a good writer, there's no way he would have included all that unnecessary filler, and he would have gone straight to the conflict had there been one. )
And then there's the self congratulatory tone of Omar. Tracy, ofcourse cannot write her own memoirs (heaven forbid!) because she's too busy. Using another writer is out of the question because Omar is "wonderful with dialogue, and he really knows how to set up the situations well" Insert eye roll here Okay, so he's the great writer, while Tracy, the Masters Degree having (please tell us in what field again, Tracy, we didn't hear it enough!), English Teacher, Screenwriter-turned-Actress is only, well, mediocre in her writing skills when compared to Omar, the epitome of a great writer.
This book makes very little sense, and frankly, I'm heated that I spent so much time reading it. The only redeeming feature is probably the little insight it gives into "making it" in Hollywood.Read more ›

1.0 out of 5 starsSequels are always worse
A Kid's Review on August 2, 2000
Format: Hardcover
this book is a complete disappointment. The first was a coming of age tale that even hit close to home with someone as young as me. I hated the Omar Tyree references and the boring life of Tracy. He should of left the uncompleted life of Tracy alone. My imagination would of came up with a better ending.

1.0 out of 5 starsThen again, what else could be expected?
By A Customer on August 23, 2000
Format: Hardcover
Considering the fact that Flyy Girl had absolutely NO plot whatsoever (I bought the first book, hated it, gave it to my 14-yr. old sister and an hour later, she came back agitated and gave it back), and the fact that the author is full of 100% hot air, surely it should come as no surprise that this latest bomb is precisely that. I passed by the book the other day at the bookstore and stopped in surprise because I hadn't realized this author was still trying. I picked it up ANYWAY, just out of curiosity. Luckily, I kept my receipt.
This has to be a joke, I thought, until I heard the radio commercial promoting this book this morning. The book is absolutely horrid, and that's an understatement. Why in the world would somebody devote presumably valuable time, money and energy to create this mess, not to mention the money he must have paid on advertising. Why not just write a GOOD BOOK and let the book promote itself mostly by word of mouth! Hel-lo-o-o-o-, PLEASE take a lesson from SOMEBODY. You don't see anybody else doing radio commercials to sell books. Have some class, man! I half expected this one to be better than Flyy Girl simply because I like to be optimistic. This book was a major letdown and I actually feel sorry for the author. I'd be ashamed to have my name on an imitation book like this. Unfortunately, this flop is a major blow to aspiring AfAm authors. Because publishers are allowing authors like this to publish junk, they will be less inclined to sign new authors and take them seriously. Is this Simon & Schuster's idea of GOOD FICTION?? Are they lowering the standards for quality Black fiction or what?! I think yes, and find it extremely insulting. If anyone other than a Black author had written this mess, it would have been rejected at the mailroom.Read more ›
