Basketball Jones

Blew My MIND!!

This was a great book, looking at the cover i knew i would love it and i did. This plot was on point at all times, not one dull moment. There were so many twist and turns to keep you hooked but not to many to confuse you. I was some of everything but not overly gay like some of his books tend to be. One of the male characters reminded me of the guy from Housewives of ATLANTA, guess you have to read to find out who.

Wowzer

First book i have read by e lynn harris and it did not let me down! Awesome book

Great book

A must read!

Highly Recommended

Once again E. Lynn Harris scores a three pointer. "Basketball Jones" was so dynamic that I was able to read it in one day. Yes, I couldn't put it down and was determine to find out what was going to happen next. The twist and turns of the love triangle helped to keep the sex, secrets and drama churning for more. However, the end was very disappointing, but was still worth every moment of reading. The characters AJ (Aldridge Richardson) and Dray (Drayton Jones) were secret lovers every since AJ had to tutor Day in Algebra while at college. Then Dray who was drafted by the NBA goes on to have a very successful career decides not to end his relationship with his secret lover. Yet, he decides that he wants to get married, but continues to have AJ in his life. AJ has to deal with this new twist in Dray's life, because Dray doesn't want anyone to find out or even question his relationship with AJ. AJ agrees to keep the relationship a secret because Dray is good to him and takes care of him financially. AJ really doesn't seem to mind because Dray takes him to every part of the country where his career takes him playing ball. Regrettably, someone knows about their secret and is determine not to stop until they get paid or even expose the grubby affair of the married NBA star and his secret gay lover.

wow!

this book was an okay read. i was disappointed with the ending. it's like there should be more. which leads me to think the story of AJ and Dray is not over.

good but not great

this was a good story. it had potential to be great, I felt like some of the key players story could have been expanded more, it would have made the plot that much better. the ending made me feel like something was missing as if the story was wrapped up to quickly. a good who-done-it (although i figured out the end result early in the story)

good

very interesting read

I love and will miss E. Lynn Harris VERY much!

I just starting reading this book and I am already in love with it. This is just one of E. Lynn's great write's. I have read all and love ALL of E. Lynn's books and will miss his writig greatly.

I Gotta Love jones

Its been a while since I have read anything by Mr. Harris. I finished the book in two nights just reading after work. The relationship in this book can be compared to so many regardless of orientation. I couldnt put it down. I wish Mr. Harris was still here to give us a sequal.

Jonesing For Early E. Lynn

While this book may have been a fun, light, fast read, it in no way packs the emotional punch of E. Lynn's earlier works, particularly Just as I Am and Invisible Life (or my personal favorite, And This Too Shall Pass). In recent years his books have become increasingly cartoonish, and Basketball Jones is no exception. He should be credited for not only starting an important dialogue about sexuality (brothers on the down low), gender, masculinity, and culture but for being willing to explore the complexities of these issues in ways that may not always be easy to empathize with. Bravo to E. Lynn, but if you've never read him before start with one of his better novels.

Excellent Book

This book is well written and it will keep your attention as it has done ot me.

Basketball Jones

Excellent read, my favorite author!

True to life

I will miss his writing although his work is not something I would read all the time. His writing is somewhat the same storytelling, only ifferent characters. I will miss him

Very pleased

I really enjoyed this story as the drama began to unfold. I liked and could very much relate to the main character. I just wish I had discovered this author before he passed away. Thank you Mr. E. Lynn Harris.

Awesome read

Ugh! I am so upset. But let me say that I really enjoyed this book. This is an awesome read, and a quick one, only because I couldn't put it down. I was at stop lights reading! However, I will say I am terribly upset with how it ended. I won't give anything away, I just wanted it to end differently. Hopefully there is a second part, because there is much more to be told, in my opinion.

Great Read!!!

Awesome!!!
