FINISHED IN 7 HOURS

I really enjoyed the book. The funniest part to me was when Greg told his friend to bring their own glasses the next time they vist his home. I am a faithful reader of black authors, and I rank them one as a one to read. I am looking forward to the next book.

This Was a Very Good Book!

This book was so good, that I finished it in 12 hours. My Book Club (The Black Online Book Club) will defintily read this book next month. Congrats go out to Ms. Spencer, for a wonderful, can't put it down, funny first novel.

couldn't stop reading

Well my bookclub enjoyed every page of this book she was a new author for us and we got our money worth. Boy Adrian was something else but we knew something wasn't right about her and to do a man like that you are what you are and she didn't have to bring Greg into her life like that, but his mother was a for real women and I'm glad the sister got her head on straight. You will enjoy this book I passed it on and everyone say the same thing I couldn't stop reading.

MORE THAN HELL WOULD'VE BROKE LOOSE IF IT WERE ME

ITS WOMEN LIKE ADRIEN THAT MAKE GOOD BLACK MEN LIKE GREG DECIDE TO CROSS OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SPECTUM. MAN WHEN HE FOUND HER....AND ALL SHE HAD TO SAY WAS...THAT WAS JUST TOO MESSED UP. I CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO THINK OF A WORD TO DESCRIBE ADRIAN AND HER CRUEL CRUEL WAYS. HIS MOTHER KNEW FROM THE BEGINNING THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING FOUL ABOUT HER BUT SHE JUST COULDN'T PUT HER FINGER ON IT. MOMA ALWAYS KNOWS. FOR ALL YA'LL OUT THERE THAT HAVE READ THE BOOK YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. SO TO ALL THE GREGS OUT THERE KEEP YA HEAD UP AND DON'T GIVE UP BECAUSE THERE ARE STILL GOOD BLACK WOMEN OUT THERE! SHERISE, HONEY I DON'T EVEN HAVE ANY WORDS FOR WOMEN LIKE HER. ITS GREAT TO BE INTO CHURCH AND EVERYTHING BUT YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT THE PEOPLE IN THE CHURCH ARE JUST THAT PEOPLE AND REMEMBER THAT JUST BECAUSE YOU SEE THEM IN CHURCH DON'T MEAN THEY'RE SAINTS.

Excellent First Novel_who is the hater down below?

To the person who said this was a "terrible book", I disagree and I think you (for some reason) are extremely jealous or bitter and you keep misspelling the author's name. That's right, I think you've written several bad reviews. But for all the hate you put on this site, the more love Camika will get and she will blow up because for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When All Hell Breaks Loose was not perfect, but it sure was exciting and it kept me reading. I don't think she set black women back at all. If nothing, she finally showed that we as black women can be just as deceitful as black men. And the church issue was real too for people who think they are too holy to make mistakes. At any rate, I think if people can't give honest constructive criticism without lashing out, they need to keep their bitter word to themselves. No, they need to write a book and have Random House pick it up and see what people have to say about it.
