September Reviews 2010

Mirror, Beware! by Dream Summore. 2010. Dream 4 More Rating: Wooed Me Dream! 5 stars.

Debut Young Adult Author, Dream Summore, delivers an emotionally and socially challenging read. "Mirror, Beware" will have readers cheering and rooting for main heroine, a young, Antoinette Rogers. The secondary characters also proved quite interesting and intriguing. It is my hope that Dream Summore will morph "Mirror, Beware" into a series. Hint, hint.

That Which Does Not Kill Us Makes Us Stronger. By Gazelle Simmons. 2008. Dream 4 More Rating: What a Dream! 2.5/3 stars. 9.13.2010 posted.

The memoir starts out with the dysfunctional family history. We see that Gazelle was free from her second marriage (divorced), and as we read her family history before she was even conceived that also her mother married her second father before giving birth to Gazelle after three miscarriages. We also see her mother’s mother, Vivienne, also remarried twice too. It seems to follow a generational curse of marriages, children out of wedlock, and men marrying women with children that are not their own flesh and blood. As some families, we also see physical, verbal, and sexual abuse that’s ignored and/or accepted.

No one knows how to face the realities of being pregnant by a married man. We see how Gazelle secret unleashes and faces the ordeal once she confessed to the man she conceived the child with and letting a good man go that was sterile. She also shares her molestation by a pedophile and near-death experiences. But God sends angels (sometimes good people He sends our way) and blessings in small packages. Ultimately, Gazelle was able to move on with her life, provide for her children, and trusted God’s promises even when it appeared as no way out.

*Wow, I saw my name in the book, spelled like how my mother was supposed to spell it as Adrena or Adrina.

Sensitivity 101 for the Heterosexual Male. Philip Nork. 2010. AuthorHouse. Dream 4 More Reviews: Wooed Me Dream. 5 stars. 9.12.2010 posted.

One of the most important lessons that I learned in life was not to judge a book by it's cover. The cover of "Sensitivity 101 for the Heterosexual Male" is a beautiful cover, but the title made me a little hesitant to read the book.

As I read it, I found myself interested in the story and the lessons that were being taught at the end of each chapter. Even as I came to realize that I was enjoying the pace of the book and the storyline, I soon realized that Philip's book was not predictable at all. I found myself reading the book from start to finish and having to pace myself to get a full understanding of the messages that I was reading.

This book is very easy to read, enjoyable, and full of life's lesson that we sometimes take for granted. I started looking from a point of view that I would like for others to see when they have any type of relationship with me. I guess I could say that I have some of the macho characteristics that Philip described in "Sensitivity 101 for the Heterosexual Male" and by reading about the feelings that women have or how they think in certain situations, I began to see mistakes that I have made in my own life and how to avoid these mistakes in the future.

This was a very good book. I personally recommend that men, women, and teens to read this story to see things from his perspectives that they might be using and look at these situations so that they might see things.
