Summary: A very touching novel...
Comment: This book is bound to keep your attention because it begins and
ends with something serious happening. It is a remarkable book
encompassing the way black's movement from South to North
specifically from Mississippi to Illinois, and the many changes
that this time has brought forth. Many of the changes in the
book was brought forth by the Armstrong Todd incident which was
similar to the real life event of Medgar Evers incident. Although
it is a fiction it brings to mind many real life issues that still
persist today. When will we ever overcome racism and hatred, which
is the far away cry in which some of the characters seem to be
shouting to the reader. I feel that this book is a great book and I
recommend this to everyone with an open mind...it is a must read book!!
I totally enjoyed reading this book because it never left you hanging
and idle...

Summary: These Blues Are About Layers of Issues
Comment: This story begins in the 50's, in rural Mississippi, and travels to the 90's.
I especially enjoyed reading this book for the unspoken sociopsychological rules that were pressed upon everyone, based upon history, rather than being based upon self-definition.
Like Bebe Moore Campbell's other books, I also enjoyed being a fly on the wall, as I explored the dialogues between the characters, and the thoughts that the characters were driven by.
This is a masterpiece story about the 3-sided struggle between legal changes, social changes, and those that are expected within families.
Yes, while laws are changing, you can't legislate forcing people to like, trust, respect and celebrate one another.

Summary: An excellent story told from various veiw points
Comment: I found this story to very interesting and attention grabbing. I did not read the book, but listened to it on tape which made it even more intriging because they told the story from two perspectives ( a white voice and a black voice). This story told life from various aspects such as the life of blacks in the rural south, those of blacks in up north, and those of whites in the south. It showed different time frames and what time can do to an environment and the changes that are made as far as race and sexism. It potrayed African Americans as whites viewed them in the 1950's which is inferior. As time moved on, instead of blacks working for whites, they worked with whites and voiced their minds more as the story progressed into more modern days.
