4.0 out of 5 stars An easy-to-read anthology for the young and the not so young, January 19, 1999

By A Customer

I was asked to review this book for the Meda P. Washington Book Club (A school for expectant mothers in the St. Louis Public Schools). The librarian wanted a selection for February and thought that this might be appropriate for the ladies.

I found the anthology appropriate and an easy book to read with a messasge for living carefully woven through the pages of each story but was not "preachy". The ladies of Meda P. will definitely enjoy this book. If you are a widow, widower, under thirty, over fifty, blue color, white color, male or female, you will see yourself in one of these four stories. No story was predictable; two of them had a twist that was not revealed until the last page. The authors not only did an excellent job of describing New York, Harlem and the surrounding area. You also knew that they were all familiar the happenings in a beauty shop.

Read and enjoy!

3.0 out of 5 stars RELAXING, ENTERTAINING, EASY TO READ...BUT PREDICTABLE., June 8, 2000

By	Yasmin Coleman (PENNSYLVANIA, USA) - See all my reviews

First, I must admit... I'm not a true romance novel reader. However, after seeing Rosie's Weave and Curl on the BlackBoard Bestseller list for months, I decided to check out Rosie's Weave and Curl to see what I might be missing.

Rosie's Weave and Curl was a compilation of Four Short Stories/Novellas centered around Rosie's Beauty Salon. Short Stories addressed love issues for everyone...the over 50 crowd, young love, love between white collar & blue collar and love for a humble duckling type.

These Love Stories were very predictable, however, they allowed you to sample the works of four different romance authors and for one who's not a true romance reader, like me, none of the stories were so long that I lost interest.

Rosie's Curl and Weave didn't convert me to a romance novel reader, however, the stories were enjoyable, and a change of pace for a rainy day, the beach, or my urge to sample the romance novel arena. If you're not sure you like romance, but like love stories with happy endings, then stop by Rosie's Curl and Weave where you just might fall in love!
