Compelling and dramatic - BRAVO!!Review Date: 2009-03-30
Ross weaves their life stories - their passions, idiosyncracies, sexual escapades, secrets and individual directions each one of their lives have subsequently taken - into a dramatic, well-paced and very believable story that will draw you in and keep you captivated from the very start. A MUST-READ for those with a penchant for drama, suspense, a little humor and a love for the element of surprise! E. Lynn Harris, MOVE OVER - Lin Ross is up next!
Simply brilliant...
RM Green The Passion Within
The Moanin' of it AllReview Date: 2009-03-08
During my life experience as David, I have AIDS. My best friends, all my lovers, even my enemies - are dying. I am dying. I am caring, swearing, snatching joy, loving, crying, feeling lost and afraid and angry and remorseful and vengeful, and yet blissful often enough to want desperately to live on, to love, to be. I desire to be real, to be me, and to not tolerate or give out any BS. Life is too short and precious for any trace of phoniness. I spit in the face of disingenuousness. I kiss the face of truthfulness; I caress and embrace real love, no matter the form or gender in which it is presented to me.
Ross' characters are superbly crafted. Complex and multi-dimensional is an understatement. One can immediately tell that this author is a poet. His prose is poetry in devotion - an eloquent, profound and beautiful dedication to truth and honesty in writing. The sentences sometimes dance across the page like a brilliant ballet dancer, other times they storm and rage from left to right and back again with the ranting, scathing, insane curses and howls of a madman.
And through it all there is the moaning. David, and his three other fellow former members of a youthful "flash in the pan" one-time hit record producing singing group - a brief fame that brought wealth and success and/or opportunity to all but one, the spiteful, jealous, selfish, self-serving and plotting for vengeance "Browny," are all seeking that elusive deep "Blue Moan." What is that "Blue Moan?" I'll let you discover that for yourself. It is the essence, the meaning, the moanin' of it all. This is a marvelously crafted work, a tell-it-like-it is story of men who love men, who love women, who love life, who hope and grasp and moan and groan and live and die in the desperate search for meaning, for moaning ... for living for, and finding, true love.
Bravo Again, and Again......Review Date: 2009-02-05
Having recognized those who made my youth what it was through David, Face, Browny and Ty, I wanted to savor the memory, the joys, the heartbrakes and the music, and more importantly, the streets of New York as they were when it all happened, Mr. Ross vividly brought back into our present the past that helped many of us shape the life we now live, and the way we live it...
And then I started the Moaning After: I was so delighted to re-live a- not -so- distant past in words of exquisite expression and poetry. I got caught in the story as deeply as I was in Manhood. The Moaning After went into these characters future, into a more mature group of young men moving on with their lives (and deaths), again making it strikingly similar to what remains a recent past in the lives of many of us out there.
But this time around, I took my time, I needed to savour Mr. Ross's writing to the fullest, I needed to let his poetry fill-up my mind, my heart and soul, and once again, Mr. Ross delighted me throughout The Moaning After.... I was particularly touched over the fact that, as these characters life details and situations started to emerge, we could identify with details and events in our own lives, hidden somewhere, down Memory Lane.
Mr Ross, through the Moaning after, once again touched some of us profoundly, "killing us softly with his words", his poetry, his story line, and exquisite handling of the English Language.
I look forward to more, and will be paying close attention to his future books to come out on shelves, looking forward to the delights he has accustomed us to....
No doubt, L.M. Ross is one of my favorite authors, as I am one of his fervent and delighted readers.....

Dark darker darkest **CONTAINS SPOILERS**Review Date: 2009-05-03
And now the rest:
Given how many of them there are, the characters are well developed enough, but I would have liked to find out more about a couple more of them. By the end of the book the only character that had started to feel real was Ron. Even the narrator seemed flat.
Most damning I can't figure out what I was suppose to learn. Race relations are complicated? That everyone has secrets and skeletons? That people, especially old ones, have a lot of facets? What was the purifying fire that Stella faced? Was it supposed to make her love more worthy of this unknown husband about whose return we're supposed to be overjoyed? (There are even hints that he might not be 100% on the right side.)
I obviously missed something that the rest of the reviewers saw. Things get more and more intense and dark and end with ... hey! even MORE dark plus some violence. That's the sort of climax we get every day in real life. I expected more from Ms. L'Engle, and I am irritated that I spent so much time on this book.
The OtherSide of The SunReview Date: 2008-05-12
Stella soon discovers that Terry's family is not all it seems and as she gets to know them and they her, she discovers some horrible past experiances and secrets that arre still effecting the family today. The novel is full of wit, literary refernces: Her Great Aunts play a wonderful guess the quote game. However, it has a very dark side and only after she has gone through love's terrible side can she and the famlliy come out on the other side of the sun. I can not reccomend this book enough!
Astonishingly good work of Fiction. With a Message.Review Date: 2008-01-07
I found myself newly fascinated with the Author. What kind of a person can dream up such a complex and beautiful storyline and fill it with such amazing characters? The complex story never became predictable or trite. What a refreshing and thoroughly entertaining piece of work. In my mind, it is L'Engle's best.
Meet the ReniersReview Date: 2006-09-16
For those familiar with L'Engle's other works this one does not feature either the Murray/O'Keefe or the Austin families of her more well known works. The Renier family is alluded to, though, in some of these works. As always with L'Engle's works the characters are compeling, drawing the reader into the complexities of their lives, eliciting first a smile at their eccentricities and then a tear at their sorrows.
This lesser known work is a treat for a L'Engle fan or a wonderful introduction to this marvelous author, in either case it is a story that will stay with the reader long after the last page.
A book to read through to the end, and then read again.Review Date: 2004-06-14
How can Stella, who grew up at Oxford, understand the basics of keeping herself safe in a place where she's expected to treat the first Negroes she has ever met as if they were members of a different species? How can the girl reared by an agnostic father grasp the conflict between the powerful Christian faith of Honoria, a one-time African princess who takes care of everyone at Illyria, and the dark spirits invoked by the "Granddam" in the desperately impoverished black hamlets just inland from the beachfront homes of the Reniers? Stella doesn't even know the significance of robed horsemen who ride by night. But her husband's people all know it. And so does the English-educated black physician whose danger she increases with every innocent gesture of friendship.
"The Other Side of the Sun" is a book to read through to the end, and then read again. It has much to say about the nature of faith, of fate, of aging, and of human love. But most of all, it's a well-told and compelling story about characters as real as any I've ever met on the printed page.

worth the $Review Date: 2006-10-20
what is especially interesting about this book is the tremendous amount of detail in it and the complexity of each and every character, from
"Caro-line" Jensen, to Jefferson and Willa-Mae Canfield, to Grandma Amos and even to little Joey Tucker.
and what blesses me even more is that, unlike other Christian or non-Christian authors, she does not compromise the name of Christ. in fact, faith in Jesus even with all the craziness that happens in the world (good and bad), is the whole point. that when one puts their faith in Jesus and tests it against everything good and bad in this life, it always proves itself true and strong ("Never will I leave you or forsake you"-Jesus the Christ). i always learn something new, historically and spiritually, when reading thoene books.
two thumbs up!

Great foundational book for apologeticsReview Date: 2008-05-24
Norman Geisler and Bocchino are not poets. They are straightforward and the powerful imagery of their book is using phrases by the authors mentioned above. However, they have packaged a very good text with a wide breathe of knowledge and connected the fact that beliefs have consequences. Those consequences will spill into all aspects of our lives no matter if we realize it or not. This book basically shows the logical sequence of philosophical premises with regards to major worldviews and how those worldviews, if honest and logically consistent, will play out in fields like science, law, morality, and education.

A great novelReview Date: 2009-06-18
His long teeth glistened in the sun.
Dead upon him was my gun.
He knew that I was armed and frightened.
His tail twitched. His musclles tightened.
Then in one long single bound,
He knocked me flying to the ground.
Now all the birds around him sing.
He has proven he is king.
The first thing I ever wrote thanks to Rutherford Montgomery.
I still love anything with his name on it, but I will never forget Yellow Eyes.

A buffet of zombie goodnessReview Date: 2009-06-20
From the short story that cries to be fleshed out into a full sized novel to the self-contained punch you in the mouth tidbit, this book is packed with a great cross section of new zombie tales from authors I have seen plenty of before to some new folks. Though not all of the stories resonated with me on the same level my belief is that if you love zombie fiction you will find more than enough here to make you feel as if this book was well worth the investment.
I do love the traditional zombie tale: a basic life and death struggle with death, and un-death, seemingly unstoppable. There are plenty of the traditional tales here along with a wide array of the unexpected and creative that demanded as much of my attention and appreciation as the more traditional stuff.
Sorry, but I cannot give a preference for a favorite story. Too many stuck with me long after I was done reading this book. Lets just say I have more than one favorite to choose from in this collection and I would bet you will to.
