Customer Reviews

Good Read!

I just got hip to Darrien Lee over the summer while visiting my cousin in Indiana. I loved this book and couldn't wait to move on to the next one in this series, Been There Done That. See my full review of this book and more at: www.typodiva.blogspot.com

Great Reader

I really enjoyed this book. I wasnt quite sure at the beginning but I really took to the book and look forward to getting part two.

And it is truly "All That and a Bag of Chips"

This book is excellent because it took me back to my days at Historically Black Central State University. I could relate to everything that was going on in this story, as well as the stories about the great friendships developed, attending games and campus events, pledging a sorority, and having great relationships. This book really brought back so many great memories of being at an HBCU. If you didn't go to an HBCU, you really get to understand through reading this book what it was like. I thought that the character Venice really had it going on, and I felt myself vicariously living through her. If only situations like that happened in real life where a girl could meet two very wonderful guys and have them support her the way that they did, oh, wouldn't that be the life. I was very sad when the book ended, and shocked about which guy she ended up choosing. Lee really brought these characters to life, and it almost seemed real. I stayed up everynight til about 3 am reading from the time I purchased until the time I completed it. This is a must read, and I would love to see this in a movie, as well as read the sequel, because it is definitely "All That and a Bag of Chips."

THIS BOOK IS MORE THAN A BAG OF CHIPS

This book is definitely the BOMB!! It captured me within the first couple of pages. Many people are saying that things in this book can't possibly happen but thats not true. Things happen and I was in the same shoes as Venice. You can't speak for all men and say that no man will love a woman thats in love with him and another man. Its possible. It happened with me. I think the book was fantastic. And if you like a book that will keep you on your toes, then this book is for you. Ms. Lee, I give you a lot of props for writing "All That and a Bag of Chips" and I will be faithfully waiting to read the sequel.

Love can be funny sometimes...

Even in the youthful, exploratory days of college. This was revealed to me in a wonderful way by Darrien Lee in her exceptional debut novel ALL THAT AND A BAG OF CHIPS...From it's inception, this reader was drawn into the drama of Venice Taylor as she shared a UNIQUE relationship with Jarvis. They have experience more stuff BEFORE their separate college departures than some of us do in our entire lives.Heading to separate campus, their eternal passion is brought under fire when Craig Bennett appears on the scene. Without giving detail, I was immediately drawn to the authenticity of this character and his ability to stay noble through an incredible storm, so much so that there was tear shed as his endlessly giving heart mirrored my own. But is his illuminating presence enough to garner the heart of Venice?For that answer, you have to read this splendid piece of work. Passion fills this story, as the mature, sometimes wild love scenes make the plot all the more tantalizing. With Galen, Joshua, Chanelle, Monique, Bryan and Sinclair providing strong supporting roles to accompany the triangular lead, the title of this book definately says all. It is truly ALL THAT AND A BAG OF CHIPS!!! A sequel, Darrien. PLEASE!!!
