Query: Stay away from this one . . .

Unless you're looking for a trifling story chock- full of poor character development, unbelievable plots and sub-plots, and overall atrocious writing, STAY AWAY FROM THIS ONE!! Ignore the publisher's dust jacket synopsis of this story. There is absolutely no sense of place (eventhough Mr. Riley throws in such names as Ethel Waters and Duke Ellington for whatever pathetic effect he hoped to acheive). This pointless story could have easily taken place in Harlem during the Harlem Renaissance or Nowhere Town USA during the O.J. Simpson Trial! But in the end, you really wouldn't care anyway! This is, bar none, the worst novel I have ever read.
