Naughty or Nice

18-BIG fan-Love EJD

Out of all of his books I have read (which is all of them except Pleasure) I would have to say that this one did not catch my attention like the others did. All of his books are great but I think he struggled through this one. I am going to buy Pleasure today and hopefully it will rock like the rest did.

Good one!

I love EJD! This was a good one. Would be great for a book club.

Very good book!

I really enjoyed this book. The scenarios are very real and so so so interesting. I'm glad I read this one! Eric Jerome Dickeys books fill up 80% of my Nook!

are you a woman scorned???

Like I said before I enjoy many african american authors and EJD is one of the best! He does it again with this one, the story line has a great twist!!!

AWESOME

This book was different for Mr. Dickey and it took a few years before I read or purchased it. I think it is outstanding, very detailed, and there is a happy ending! I have read all of Mr. Dickey's books and will continue to do so.

Disappointing

This book was very disappointing. Compared to the others it was very slow and it took me a long time to read it. I do not recommend buying this book if you must read it borrow it from the library.

Just Okay

This was my 3rd book from this author I have to say it was 'just okay.' He bored the heck out of me in 'Drive Me Crazy'(took me 1 month to read this book- I can normally finish a good book in 2-3 days), Genevieve, was the best of the three that I've read from EJD (it redeemed EJD for me so I choose another one of his books to read) It takes awhile for his books to pick up. There's this long build up until almost 3 chapters until the end. After investing so much time into a book- you just finish it. Naughty or nice was just another long and drawn out read. I didn't feel closure with Livvy or Frankie.

GREAT!!!

This was a great book, from beginning to end this was an excellent book. Although these sisters share their thoughts with each other they all have different attitudes. Livvy,Tommy,and Frankie all have a good bond.When their mother and father died all they had was theirselves. I recommend this book for you. EJD did his best on this book i liked it. If you have any questions on this book please email me!

Disappointing

I am a fan of EJD but this book was very disappointing. Compared to the others it was very slow and it took me a long time to read it. I do not recommend buying this book if you must read it; borrow it from the library.

10th book read by EJD

This was another good book by EJD. I really felt sorry for Livvy and I wanted her to get even so badly! Tommie reminded me of someone I know which is sad and okay at the same time. Frankie was a trip. They had a relationship kinda like me and my sisters, it was real. Overall I liked the book, it kept me wanting to know more, I just wish it was longer. If you can, read this before you read Drive Me Crazy, you will see why.

Just Okay

This was my first EJD book and at first I regretted buying it. The beginning was long and drawn out. It seemed like he was just trying to fill pages. I think he over did it with the highway descriptions. I am from Birmingham, AL so I couldnt relate. I could care less how crowded the 110 always is. I was beginning to wonder if I was reading a novel or a map. However, it started to get better towards the middle. The ending was great. However, I would have appreciated more detail about Tommie's past relationship (in relation to the scar on her face) and the beatdown Tony put on her ex. I give this book 2.5 stars (just alright). I really look forward to better things from this author. I heard he has better books.

teen who loves books

I thought this book was really good. I couldn't stop reading it. I read it in two days, which is why I am confused as to why it got so many okay reviews. I loved it. Sure, it wasn't one of his best (Cheaters), but it was still a good read. Maybe it's because I haven't read any of his books in a while.

Not as good as I thought

I expected more from this book. I thought that it was going to be more in depth with the characters. I think that Dickey trailed off wih the characters. He would start off with one person, and just when you find out about that person he would start to talk about someone else.

Ok read

This book was not nearly as good as 'The other woman' writen by Dickey but still held your attention if for no other reason than to see if anything goes right for the sisters. Somewhat of a slow read.

Good Book

This was a good book, but not his best. My favorite Jerome Dickey book is Friends & Lovers.

This was okay...

I did enjoy this book nevertheless it was not Dickey's best. I read in his acknowledgements that he wanted to tone things done and lighten things up for the holidays. I guess if I had of read it during the holidays and not during the summer when I needed Dickey's best, it would have been great. I normally take less than a week to read his books, this one took me 3 wks. I'll never stop reading his books though.

Great Book!!!!

I read the reviews before I received the book.I was very hesitate about the book. But I must say that I enjoyed the book very well. The sisters had a magnificent bond and the characters were well defined. The only part I didn't agree was the Christmas's presents to their deceased parents. Overall a GOOD book!

An excellent book by an extraordinary writer!!!

'Naughty or Nice' is an excellent story that deals with heartache, family and finding love. The characters are realistic and can be your friend or neighbor. Once you start, you get so involved that you can't put it down. You want to read as fast as you can but then you know the end is coming and you don't want it to end. The characters become your friends and you really get to know them. It's a 'Holiday Novel' that you can read at any time!!

Disappointing

I've read, loved and would emphatically recommend anything and everything Dickey has ever published. HOWEVER, after reading 'Naughty or Nice', I have to ammend that statement to include the words 'almost everything...'. Like the other reviewer, I enjoyed the bond the sisters shared, but overall the book just couldn't hold my attention. This was definitely NOT a page-turner. I found myself skipping parts and putting the book down far too often. Eventually I had to force myself to finish and it was torture!! If you feel you just have to see what the book is about, borrow it from a friend or check it out of the library, but do yourself a favor and SAVE YOUR MONEY.
