my thoughts

i cried so much reading this book. power, money, and relationships! i took breaks because the message was so heavy. it made me think about life and the choices that i made/make. people called me corny but i am glad to be healthy enough to raise my daughter and watch her grow. i loved how this author indirectly encouraged higher education.

A MUST READ!

...I just finished Autumn Leaves and found it a deeply moving, socially conscious and a truly laugh out loud read. It is the kind of novel you can visualize in your mind as you go through each situation. It is the kind of novel that will pull a tear from you eye. It is the kind of novel that leaves you wanting more. I absoluted adored Legacy and found Simpson the kind of man you just want to ...well, you have to read the book. I 'aint giving it away. lol.Mr. McGlothin read an excerpt of this book at a salute to African American writers here in Austin earlier this year and he left everyone in the room in complete anticipation of what would happen next and trust me, the scene he read from is a WHOPPER! I highly recommend this book for anyone looking for a story that is real with characters you will either love or hate. What's also great about AL is how a famous diva we all know and love is written into the story and I found that too cool! With that said, go out and get this book. Mr. McGlothin, continued success and keep it up. CLB.

Oh my goodness!

Oh my goodness! Intriguing, sit-on-the-edge-of-your-seat, thought provoking and heartwarming all in on. Mr. McGlothin has definitely gone where no man has gone before. The characters are put out there for you - there is shock with some, sympathy for others and contempt for one. Let me just say that you HAVE TO READ THIS BOOK! You will definitely know what it's like to have loved, lost and loved again - discover and rediscover yourself and more importantly what depths you will go to for people that you love. -JN

Master piece of work...

Great story for the big screen. We must stop the SILENCE. Marshall was a hero even though he didn't want to be one. I enjoyed the relationship between Marshall and Jasmine. I was cheering for them throughout the book. My heart went out to Kennedy. The message needs to be heard. The decisions we make today will effect our lives tomorrow. I highly recommend this excellent read to the young and the old.Victor, thanks so much for writing this novel. Be Blessed.

changes of deep love

"Autumn Leave" was chosen for our review by the Phenomenal Women Book Club of Houston Texas. We had the pleasure of discussing this novel with the author Victor McGlothin himself. I love the way he sneeks in on how you can contract the AIDS virus through various relationships. I recommend this novel to high school and college students in relationships. Also to the women who concisiously suspects her significant other and wont let go. Next, to the searching man or women who mentally plans their future on apperance. Victor McGlothin is definitely on his way to the top. If you have not had the opportunity to have this brother visit your club you should plan to. Victor discribed autumn leaves "as beautiful and bringing about change". We all have a season in life we all go through change. We loved Victor's warm humorous personality we greatfully apreciated his presance. Don't miss out on this wonderful novel of "Autumn Leaves" buy the book!

IN AUTUMN LEAVES, THE LOVE IS SOOO DEEP

I, too, would love to see this book on the big screen. Victor McGlothin has created a story with a love so deep, I could feel it. The friendship between Marshall and Rory is beautiful, AND it crosses the color line which anyone can relate to. I was so familiar with the love between Marshall and Jazmine, as the plot thickened I couldn't put the book down. Kudos to Victor McGlothin for working such an important dilemma as AIDS into the story line because we must STOP THE SILENCE!
