Book Reviews of The Coldest Winter Ever

Book Review: An Outstanding Piece of Work
Summary: 5 Stars

I purchased this book on a Sunday afternoon and I had completed the 300+ pages by the following Tuesday morning. I could not put this book down! I had it with me under the hairdryer, in the tub, while doing my laundry, everywhere! I have to say that I had genuine dislike for Winter Santiaga. I was not able to identify with some of her values, her thought processes and consequent decisions. In Winter's mind, there was nothing more important than a flashy "whip", acquisition of money by any means, and being taken care of by a man. However, it is an important work for black females of all ages and socioeconomic status to read. A large number of us can identify with making clothing purchases that may not be economically smart at times, but they make us feel good, giving a false sense of esteem. Winter's character also gives us a view of how the relationships we have with with our fathers greatly influences the type of mates that we are attracted to and how much disrespect we are willing to endure.

The writing is unforgiving and in your face. I hadn't felt that from a book since I read "The Color Purple" years before it was made into a movie. Winter's language, thoughts, actions are raw, never fluffy and sweet.This book gave me a chill as I can picture there is at least one Winter Santiaga in every state in the US, in every country in this world. I had never been interested in Sister Souljah's writing before, but I have become a fan. I cannot wait for her next novel. Until then, I will buy her autobiography and try to read it much slower, so as to savor every word.
