 Third One Is Alright June 23, 2008
I liked the first and second books quite a bit. This one was OK. They seem to be getting a little sensational though and off the track of normal everyday life. I just wished Hardy wasn't always putting in jabs at white people, like we are all an enemy or to be suspect or guilty of every problem relating to blacks. He sounds like a man that detests whites.

I liked the book although I feel the 1st 2 were better. HArdy gives you more insight into the main couples relationship and entertains you while he is doing it
 I wish I could give it negative Five Stars! March 3, 2003

This book certainly ranks as one of the worst I've ever touched. The structuring of the story is Absolutely Atrocious. Hardy also babbles on and on & ON about characters that have utterly nil to do with the book but amazingly enough, he never bothers to develop the 2 sole MAIN characters. They are just talking heads. Read this book only if you want to witness how BAD bad writing gets. There is not one subplot. There is not any physical description of consequential people or places. There are no secondary characters. Scenes do not naturally unfold, they "start" in the middle of an event and are rushed with a lot of summarized exposition to an unclimaxed ending. Mitchell apparently has NO life other than his gymnastic courses; JEH does not take the fantastic opportunity to explore the struggles with being a gay teenager or being just a teenager PERIOD. Mitchell has no schoolwork, bullies, physical awkwardness, depression, or rebellious urges that are so prevalent during the high school years. I am appalled that this trash was even published!

I am sure Mr Hardy has an audience for his book, and it certainly isnt me. It was too shallow, I finished reading it because I am a book addict and finish reading everything I start.. otherwise... it was kind of just there. Did not explore the deeper aspects of a younger person, older person relationship, and its role in what he calls "HIT"..... learnt very little from... just proved to me that the whole age and mental factor plays and preys a big role in both dating worlds... same gender loving relationships and hetero-relationships...Sort of glad that Mitchell got a chance to resolve that disfunctional relationship... a lot of folks dont get a chance to do so... it could have been an otherwise deep and moving story if only JEH dug a little deeper with the issues he was attempting to tackle..... If you are a non-reader, love simplistic stories, then this is the book for you.... if you are richer reader and like this genre of writing then do the first two of E. Lynn Harris' books....... the rest is meadiocre.... presented as literature. I give you two stars for trying!!!

I truly like this one! JEH you know the story behind this one as well. The series is to JOOD to be true - Not my original Flava but I'm liking the trust that building between them. I hope they keep it up.
