Customer Reviews

Thank you for this touching book

A few years ago I was a neighbor of Teresa McClain-Watson, and her husband told me about this book. I was caught up right from the beginning - the strong language and emotions - tied to locations that I knew in my hometown made it hard to put down. Thank you for this compelling, readable novel. I really enjoyed it. If you want to be moved...read this book.

Heartbreakingly, achingly good!

How this woman was able to take on the voice of a 13-year-old kid from the inner city just amazes me. This book deserves to get a lot more attention that it has. It stayed with me long after I was finished, and I shed more than one tear along the way. Teresa McClain-Watson had me wanting to adopt this kid!

For boys with no daddies

I am a teacher who plans on teaching this book to high school students. When I read an excerpt from Chapter Two to 10th graders, they were hungry for more. Though this book may be scorned by some parents because of its use of profanity, it is a raw revelation of a young teenager's inner feelings towards a dad who rejected him. The protagonist's feelings are complex and often he is torn by an inner conflict that must infect most boys who yearn for their daddies' love. A MUST!

McClain-Watson understands the pain of rejection!

I absolutely loved Plenty Good Room! The author made sure that the reader understood the pain the protaganist was going through. Excellent book. Would recommend it to everyone!

Plenty Good Room is an excellent first novel!

I thought Plenty Good Room was magnificent. The characters made me laugh, cry and remember. Poor Bay Dawson tried so hard! But, alas, his reunion with his father was not as he had hoped. Teresa McClain-Watson is an excellent writer. I enjoy the book thoroughly!
