I got my copy on Monday and just finished it tonight. OMG!! The book was off the chain. I can't wait till everyone finishes so we can have a discussion.

Great job. I wish it were 2006 already:D

I just finished the book on Thursday on the train. (Made for great commute reading!) It was fantastic. I've already got a couple coworkers who are interested in reading it.

Now I'm impatient to find out what happens next! Any chance for a sneak peek? :D

I am SO PROUD to have such a talented person to call Brother. :)

I am very humbled by all of you....I am so glad that you have enjoyed LAZARUS! It was a long time coming, but I see that my hard work is paying off. Thank you so much for being among the first to believe in me....it means a lot that you all bought this book based on (essentially) my word and an excerpt.

:D <----- Me, in real life.

I am officially impressed! It is such a good book, very true to life characters.

All I can say about casting the movie is hell yeah, get LL Cool J in there somewhere!!

MaMaBuddha 05-18-2005 11:58 PM

Favorite character: Nina (she was such a fag hag, i would't be a bit surprised if she dipped and dabbled in the female anatomy)

Favorite Scene: let's see...it would have to be when Craig and Jamal called out Adrian. "which one of you pledges has a boyfriend?" and the whole line said "we all do."

then my man Calen after Craig and Jamal attack knocked the F*ck out of Craig, his own big brother.


I swear i was all excited at that part, my girlfriend was looking at me like what the hell is wrong with you. (cause i was shouting at the book)

i swear i was in the story!!!!!! i mean i felt like i was standing right there.


i will think of movie characters later.
