SOMETHIN' EXTRA IS SOMETHING ELSE!

SOMETHIN' EXTRA IS SOMETHING ELSE! Ms. Rice has penned a blessing. Mid-life crisis, dating and falling in-love with married men, workaholism, alcoholism, child molestation and sexual abuse, parenting of middle-upper class teenage African-American males in a hip-hop culture... the list of issues goes on. However, Ms. Rice doesn't meander or lose focus. Her work is tight, enlightening, funny, sad, and altogether lovely! As one other reader suggests... "any young woman(or older) thinking of getting involved with a married man, should definitely read this novel." Ms. Rice you also have the makings of a wonderful "relationship film." Director/Screenwriter, Malcom Lee (Best Man), 40 Acres and a Mule Productions, would really do your story/novel justice on the Big Screen! Looking forward to seeing the movie!

Amorously Awesome

Somethin' Extra was a delightfully spun tale. The characters were so well developed, that I could actually feel their pain, and celebrate their euphoria. The novel flowed quickly, getting straight to the point. We weren't bombarded with sundry descriptions, but Patty provided enough detail to let our minds visualize the rest. I loved the interweaving plots and spunky characters. I'm going to recommend this book for our book club. Good job Patty.

A MUST READ

This is one of the best books I have read. I typically read 4 or 5 books a month, so I know what I'm talking about. You will not want to put it down. You will want to know what happens to David and what happens to Genie. Everyone should read this book. I can't wait for Patty Rice's next book. This book is excellent!

EXCELLENT NOVEL.

David and Genie shared a love so deep. Once David entered Genie's life her theory about men went out the window. David regains his youthfulness through Genie. This novel is filled with so many emotions. This is a must read. Patty this is a great debut. I look forward to reading your next book. Be Blessed!

Insightful

I must start by saying, I had no real desire to read about a misguided young women in crisis who some how can justify dating another woman's husband. I was surprised by what I read. I read a very insightful novel, that was well written, entertaining and also taught real leassons about choices. In Genie I found a young women who was the product of a very unhealthy upbringing that caused her destructive behavior. I found in David a typical vain male person who needed reassurance that he was the same man he had been over two decades ago and in his quest to find himself he fells to consider how his actions will affect others in his life, which is usually the case when an indiviual is running scared. And after all was said and done. Who will pick up the leftover's David didn't need anymore. This book is a must read. Because we all can benefit from the lessons to be learn when one is blinded by self doubt and all the others his actions affect.
