Intelligent and Thought-Provoking

I have been wanting to read this novel for quite sometime and I was not about to walk out of the bookstore without it this past weekend. I am so glad that I purchased it because I read it in less than 24 hours. It is obvious from the very first page that the author is creative and intelligent. It shows throughout the novel in his descriptive dialogue and ability to craft a story. The novel shows what can happen when someone has inspirations that do not coincide with those who claim to love him. Thad wanted to live his life his own way and not the way that his father or girlfriend had envisioned it. That is something that so many of us have to go through, including myself, when we decide to make our own decisions in life. I can really appreciate in intricate message behind his words and I look forward to his next novel.

Hot, Hot, HOT

I looked at this novel several times before ordering it and once I did, I was pleasantly surprised. This was an incredibly enjoyable novel.This is the story about, Thad, a Howard University grad who is caught between what he wants to do with his life and what he is expected to do based on his father's life. In the end, Thad follows his own path and along with other friends, opens a restaurant, 'Nubian Rhythm Kitchen' which has as it's base theme a place where African American from all walks of life can come and celebrate their culture and historyOf course, there are many setbacks, a conniving, obsessive and dangerous girlfriend who ultimately leads to his demise, an overbearing, unaccepting father who ultimately accepts and respects his son for who and what he is, an interesting interaction with a strickingly beautiful yet hard to figure out woman, and the loss of two friends, one through betrayal. I was impressed by the authors portrayal of these young African American college graduates coming together and working hard to accomplish their dream and goals and doing so with a sense of ethnic pride and awareness. Unfortunately in the end, Thad comes full circle in a very interesting manner. This is actually a very good book which I think had been somewhat overlooked.

Caution: Very HOT!

Poetically Intense! A Burning Story! Medical Alert - will cause 3rd Degree Burns! These are the phrases that best describe what I read on the pages of "sin in soul's kitchen". Andrew Oyefesobi has created one heck of a story filled with extreme situations of nothing but DRAMA, creatively written!Other reviewers have given you an oh so real front row center of this novel's story, so keeping it simple.............READ IT!

Hotter than the hood of a Cadillac at FreakNic 94

Forget all the parrallel's to the 'Best Man', and 'Love Jones'. This book stands on its own, and marks the coming out of one of our generations next great novelist. I read it from cover to cover, then I read it again a week later to see what I missed the first time.

I couldn't stay out of the kitchen!

Sin in Soul's Kitchen was a very delightful read. I found myself relating to and rooting for every character in the book, no matter how good or bad they turned out to be. Oyefesobi touches on some key issues affecting African Americans today. Professional achievement, self-determination/self-worth, relationships with friends/family, and obstacles to success are all touched on in the book. And the passionate interactions between characters makes sure the heat is always on HIGH! You never know who's doing what or what's going to happen next. If you like it HOT, definitely go into the kitchen. But don't come out without your SOUL!
