" I Say A Little Prayer is the second E. Lynn Harris's book I have read. The first being Just As I Am. I know there are many fans of Raymond's series with Just As I Am being the second book in the series. Frankly, I prefer I Say A Little Prayer. I was happy to know that this book was written from only one character's struggle - Chauncey, who has to face the problems associated with a love from his earlier life. This is better compared to Just As I Am, which alternated each chapter with two lead characters. Another thing that makes me prefer this book than Just is that it is less depressing. 'Just' deals with AIDS, and I don't read to feel depressed. However, I find 'Prayer' a little too fast at the end, where the twist in the story is a little too much for me to digest. There is no reason why Damien's wife's past is not known by many, if she is painted to be such. Or even the sudden switch of her wanting to be 'evil'. Although I read only the second book, I would prefer there would be no 'special guest star' from his other books. Lame. Other than that, I found myself looking forward to spending time with the book, eagerly turning the page to find out what would happen next. "

" umm, what to say. This book was a little strange. It wasn't bad, but I couldn't relate to any of the characters and their lives seemed a bit unrealistic. "

" fast read, entertaining. prose awkward at times, and often some characters felt a little too "perfect" - too stereotypical or unbelievable. but i see why he is a best seller. feels like cotton candy, this one did. I think I'll try to read "and this too shall pass" next. "

" I have read all of E. Lynn Harris novels but this was by far the best novel. His characters where well developed and the plot was well crafted. I love it. "

Daniel Williams | 12/24/2013
" This book was inapportiate. I thought the book was explaining too much. The story did explain about the gay community, which was nice. It was a good story. "

" This is the 3rd book I've read by E. Lynn Harris, B boy blues, Basketball Jones and I Say a Little Prayer. I Say A Little Prayer is probably my favorite at this point, all though all of his book thus far has been very well written. "

" This book was awful. I found it through a Shelfari LGBT novels group, and it was highly rated. It was trite and full of product placement. Yuck. "

Michael Davidson | 8/13/2012

Valeria | 8/8/2012
" While I have read several other books from this author, it's been a long time ago, so this was a pleasant surprise. I defintely had a love/hate relationship with the main character, but in the end, I had to root for him. "
-




Mia | 7/27/2012
" Some of the characters seem a bit too type-cast and the end of the book turned a bit too soap operatic, but it is clear why Harris gained the popularity he did. His affection and empathy for his characters comes through and is contageous. "

Tracy Burd | 5/4/2012
" I have read many of his books, this one was good as they all are. It was different, some graphic sex scenes that were just out of place. Overall, a fast moving read with the perfect ending. I will continue to seek out this author, it's a feel good book. "

Shana Burton | 3/28/2011
" This book was only average when compared to other E. Lynn Harris books, but it's a great lazy-afternoon-or-weekend read. If, however, homosexuality conflicts with your spirituality, you might want to stay away from this one. "
