Thumbs up October's Book "Got to Be Real" Discussion

Chapters 1&2

So far so good.....I think they are setting up for somethin to go down between bobby and alexandria (i'm a genius right? otherwise it wouldnt' have been a love story...duh.....)....but my question is, does he really think he's gettin his money from that john character??? i dont know if i would have gone out there to mexico......is he really gonna get paid???

What allyuh think?

*FOR MONDAY Nov 3rd, next story "Kenya & Amir" pg 77 - 129...i started this one and i think its a lot better than the first story....*

well this first story started out kind of slow it really didn't interest me much but i continued anyway bobby was really crazy for going to mexico knowing the type of person this john fellow was.... what was he thinking............im surprised of the outcome in mexico i wasn't expecting that at all

john was a business man at heart, tryin each and everyway possible to make a profit, the way he schemed those people was beyond belief he took them for all they were worth

but all i have to say is revenge is a b@$#@

Yea definitely some action waiting to happen between Bobby and Alexandria, you see the way he said her name at the end of th chapter, lol.

Bobby is good man, my tail woulda still been in the States, you think I'm travelling somewhere on no hope for someone I doh trust? Yuh mussee mad!

trini_chic - I say that I wouldn't go, but I guess i'm lyin. cause i'd want another chance to get my money and i like to think that people are that messed up and hope that John would redeem himself.

Sorry I'm late! Yeah, the first story didn't interest me much atall. I don't know why since I usually like Eric's books. De blasted story was too short, I want to see Bobby get wit Alexandria!! I also want to see John get a cut-tail from all those he owe money! LOL! At first I was a bit confused as to what race John was because at one point Bobby was pissed because he said "nigger". I know it's not a good word to begin with, but most people get that pissed when someone non-Black uses it. But then later Bobby said that John would be at the airport "CP time"...anyway, ah still in de miggle (yes, miggle) of the 2nd chapter...I like this story more...I read Marcus' other book with these two characters in it Amir and how-she-name...

Yea man me too, it's hard to stop reading these stories. They get so addicting, before I know it I finish reading the whole ting.

I'll be back in a couple days with my two cents about how Cafe Piel ends:)

KENYA & AMIR!!!!

**********************************
what a story....we're only *supposed* to have read the first half, but I couldn't wait.......EXCELLENT story, with a lot of good discussion points......what yuh think??

my big one for the first half was when Amir said that men have it harder than women when it comes to finding someone.....yuh think that's true? why or why not?

**************************
Monday, Nov 10th, the end of "Kenya & Amir"
