Pros: some parts ring true of a woman searching for meaning
Cons: long, self-serving stream of consciousness, plot gives up after the first ⅓
I ordered How Stella Got Her Groove Back from Amazon during one of their closeout sales. I love picking up hardcovers on the cheap, and had really enjoyed Waiting to Exhale and figured that I couldn't go wrong. Yeah, right. I'm trying to ...

Pros: Catchy title
Cons: Incorrect grammar; story told better on the big screen then on paperback
Of all the books Terry McMillan has written (Waiting To Exhale, Disappearing Acts, Mama and How Stella Got Her Groove Back), she hit her literary peak with Mama. How Stella Got Her Groove Back, Terry's last book and 1998's hit movie, was a horrible...

Pros: Addictive book!
Cons: None
While I was reading this book, I felt like I was Stella's friend! I wanted to tell her what to do, what not to do, and HOW to do things! The book made me feel like I was part of it. It was such a romantic book! I don't want to get too deep into the...

Pros: Didn't want to put down the book....
Cons: Can take a while to get used to her style of writing
This book easily brings you in and makes you one of the onlookers into Stella's life. You know what going on in her head and how she really feels about things. This is very much a Cinderella story, but somehow you can really believe that it actually...
