Customer Reviews

No such thing as "just one more chapter..."

I enjoyed this book very much, and like the other reviewer thought I would read just one more chapter before going to bed... But one more, turned into another, and another...as I couldn't wait to read what happened next! Ms. Snoe creatively weaves a story that provokes both thought and emotion through the examination of interpersonal relationships. The story's main thread examines intra-racial prejudice and class structure within the African-American experience...a phenomenon which I never expected would exist. Adding depth to the story, a secondary theme explores the power some people can have over the lives of others...how easily someone's trust can be taken advantage of to so dramatically negatively impact the lives of others, and yet how trust, when properly placed, can positively impact one's life. Through it all, Ms. Snow reminds us how personal growth tends to come from enduring difficult experiences and of the resilience of the human spirit, especially when firmly grounded.

Read Into The Night

I'm a great fan of Ms Snoe's books, and this is one of her best! Thinking I would read a little before I went to sleep, I found myself unable to put it down until I finished it. I had no idea how this plot could be untangled. Great Story, and an enlightening view of a subculture most people are unaware of. I highly recommend SOMETHING DEEP IN MY BONES. LaVern M.
