Customer Reviews

E. Lynn put's it all out on the table in this one!

I read Any way the wind blows & Not a day goes by before I read Abide with me. If you happen to come into the series of E. Lynn's books and want more of the scoop on Basil's problems with his past, Raymond's lifestyle, the true 'not-so-divafied' evil side of Yancey and they're mutual friends...then you should start with this one! It'll help you put 'two & two together' on the lives and backgrounds of all of the characters.

Abide With Me

I must say that I loved the book, just as I have enjoyed all of the rest. E. Lynn Harris is my favorite authors next to Eric Jerome Dickey and I would read just about anything that he writes. I met him years ago here in Raleigh, NC at the White Rabbit Bookstore and he is one of the most personable people I have ever met; as nice as can be. He has a lot of class and style, and he made me feel as if I had known him for years. Abide With Me satisfied me and I loved the ending; Basil may just meet his match! Basil is a character that everyone loves to hate and I have enjoyed him in every book. I hope the small cliff hanger at the end means that there will be a follow up to this book. Basil truly gave all of your books flavor! It was also good to see where other characters (Trent, Nicole) were with their lives as well. Mr. Harris, keep on doing what you're doing because "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"!

Up all night

E Lynn Harris is an incredible writer. I've read all his books in order and they get better as I progess. His captivating way of telling a story, keeps you up all night wanting to know what happens next. Gun shy at first because of the issues involved in his plots, but now having read all of them, i would be depriving myself an enlightneing as well as fantastic mind trip if I didn't open myself to listen. His characters could be people I know, but don't know. And more than the intrigue of that alone, I believe he's helped someone deal with who they are by the way he shares so freely his story. His is a voice of a changing time. His is a voice that needs to be heard. He is a writer and his stories are well worth the read.

SIMPLY THE BEST! ..BETTER THAN ANYONE!

This author's style is impeccable. I read the first three novels with the same results-----I laughed,cried and sympathized with the characters. Next to Edgar Allen Poe, Mr. Harris is my favorite author. My ONLY complaint---I have to wait too long for the next book (2 years) YOU WILL NOT PUT HIS BOOKS DOWN! TRUST ME!

Abide With Me

I read Abide With Me in 2 days...it was the best out of all 5 of his books...it summed up all the characters...I couldn't put the book down...I read it almost all day and all night...Thumbs up for E. Lynn Harris...he outdid himself this time!
