I MUST ADMIT, I ENJOYED THIS BOOK. IT HAD ME GUESSING ALL THE WAY TO THE END. THE DESCRIPTION WAS JUST A LITTLE, TEENY, TINY, BIT WORDY, BUT IT WAS VERY NECESSARY TO THE STORY TO PICTURE NEW YORK AND HARLEM DURING THAT TIME OF THE CENTURY. IT SHOWS DETERRENCE AND HARDSHIPS THAT DIVIDED A PEOPLE BASED ON SOMETHING SIMPLE AS THE SHADE OF SKIN COLOR. DETAIL WAS IMPECCCABLE, AND THE STORYLINE WONDERFUL. I CAN EASILY SEE THIS STORY AS A FULL-FEATURE MOVIE, OR AN HBO OR SHOWTIME ORIGINAL. MISS WALKER, MY HAT OFF TO YOU, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO MORE, AND EVEN MORE IN THE FUTURE. DEFINITELY AN EYE-OPENER IN MORE WAYS THAN JUST A WHODUNIT.
