" Well, once again I have learned the old adage "Don't judge a book by its cover," is true. I expected a suspenseful courtroom drama, something like John Grisham's A Time to Kill. It is rare that I find myself enjoying books about vampires. Just Want to Testify was well written and at times enjoyable. For vampire fans, I think this would be just the thing, and I will recommend it to them (I already have).It just was not a good fit for me. "

" Surprisingly enough I ended up loving this. I say that not because of the author, because I've loved all of her books. I'm saying it because when I read what the premise of this storyline was, I was taken aback. I don't love the very end, but I'm giving it 5 stars anyway. "

" After seeing several plays written by Pearl Cleage, I was looking forward to reading her book. I have to say that I prefer her plays. Just Wanna Testify is a novel which uses vampires (magic realism) to tell an allegory about the chasm in the relationships between African-American women and men. There is a lot that Pearl Cleage can say about this subject which is obviously very close to her heart. I just wish that she had chosen another avenue in which to explore it. "

" This one wasn't my cup of tea. I really wanted to like it because I love Pearl Cleage and I love vampires. But I just found this one kind of ...corny, for lack of a better word. I didn't connect with any characters, and didn't "feel" anything for this one - maybe that was the point? In any case, at least it was a fast read! "

" I couldn't get into this book so it had to go back to the library. "

" I love Cleage, but I think her mind went on vacation when she wrote this one. Vampires,that only want men for sex and then kill them before they can cause problems. Then it's the "Dallas" cop out of "it was only a dream"? Come on! "

" "Just Wanna Testify" was awesome. Having read the other books about the West End characters, I was wondering how vampires would fit into the mix. I was pleasantly surprised. What a beautiful story! "

" Well this one was just OK. I wasn't really feeling the whole vampire thing and plot. Kinda lame. "

" Pearl Cleage has done it again...never would I have put together vamps in Atlanta after Hurricane Katrina..but the question is what do they want...Cleage is so entertaining and I love Blue, Regina, Abbie, Aretha and Peachie...Great read.. "
