"A Man's State of Mind" is a heart renching eye opener for the man that thinks he is a "player" I thinnk this book was well written. Chris really knows how to bring out the realness of his characters. This book will make you laugh and then out of nowhere it will make you cry. The thing I enjoyed the most was that Chris didn't sterotype the African American women to be the loud, rude women with bad attitudes that people assume they are. Even though this book is fiction it is still the truth as to how it really is in the world, as fr as the way the chacters think and feel. When I started reading this book I couldn't put it down I recomended this book to all my friends male and female. I also recomend this book to you. I look forward to more books by Christoper D. Burnes

I couldn't put it down

And I didn't until it was finished. I read it in one setting as it held me totally captive. Darryl was the man I knew. He was my bestfriend's man. He is the man next door that you see creeping in at all hours. He's real and he makes you feel something for him. The women he went through they were real. It was so strong a peice I was aching in my heart when I finished. I wanted to call everyone I knew and beg them to GET REAL with their relationships. I will read Mr. Burns next book... no question. Strong message brought out with ease.
Makes You Think

Darryl's attempt at being in a monogamous relationship is hindered as he develops secret relationships with other women. He is faced with a painful "reality check" when he finally discovers that the world does not evolve around him. I really enjoyed this book because it challenges readers to think about the consequences of being less than honest in relationships. The author delivers a powerful message through the voices of Darryl, Tasha, Michelle, and Sherry and the use of humor, real life situations, and intelligent dialogue. This is a must read.
Well conceived first book.

This novella reflects the author's state of mind: clear, genuine and eager to communicate in a meaningful way. Unlike other novels that glut the market, this one isn't filled with glib stereotypes or trite situations. African- American readers--all readers, for that matter--deserve more, and this novel delivers. Its characters and situations carry distinct elements of reality and are thought-provoking. Voices and dialogue are thoroughly convincing. All of which makes for a read that is as enlightening as it is entertaining. The author clearly has a bright future ahead of him and I look forward to seeing where the writing will carry him.
