Book Reviews of Just As I Am: A Novel
Book Review: "Just As I Am " is a remarkable book.
Summary: 4 Stars
"Just As I Am" by E. Lynn Harris is a truly remarkable book, especially for its honest and open portrayel of Black middle-class life with all its complexeties, hang-ups and humor. One of the best and most effecting reads of the last few years for me, I applaud Mr Harris for finally confronting such important issues as color discrimination within the black community, homosexuality, the importance of freinds and family, and the hypocrisy of many so called religious people who instead use their religion as a weapon against other minorities. The characters in Just As I Am may be a bit on the glamorous side, everybody seems to be gorgeous with fabulous bodies, but they speak in a language that rings true. I literally did not want the book to end. Kyle, one the more fascinating of Mr. Harris' creations, provides the heart of this work and the treatment of his death to AIDS is noteworthy for the dignity that he brings to it. I laughed, I cried, I got powerfully! hungry. Peaches sure sounds as if she can burn a few pots! This is definitly a must read and a significant improvement over the very good "Invisible Life."
