Book Review: Boss Lady by Omar Tyree
So far in "Boss Lady" by Omar Tyree, I went into reading the book with the idea that it was going to be a great book and a reading mind filled with much enthusiastic. But with as much as I have read I don't really care for the book so much because the story is being told from Tracy's cousin “Vanessa” point of view and it really does seem like Tracy's cousin is kind of "obsessed" with her cousin's life and likes to allude to her cousin’s books as answers to he...more

I began the Flyy Girl trilogy years ago and recall loving the first book, liking the second one and never getting around to the final one.
I finally checked the third book out and I did not like it at all. I will say, I am a bit older than I was when I read the first book and have been exposed to a lot of authors, so that may play a role in my review of Boss Lady.
The title alone is interesting because the character Vanessa-not Tracy can be classified as a boss. The cover states that Flyy Girl i...more

i learned that nobody's perfect. i havent never seen my dad and when i was reading the story i think she should have not talk to him that way cause she should be lucky that she gets to see her dad cause theres plenty who dont
Could never really get into this story. I guess because it wasn't told by Tracy, but instead told by her cousin Vanessa. I rushed through it, because it wasn't that interesting.
tracy is back at again, but now has a whole team of people. wanting to turn her book flyy girl into a movie and gets the help from her niece and her friends
Just as I suspected, it was great! Oh how the Hollywood life was right for her personality type. A great sequel to the other books
I don't like the fact it was from the cousin perspective. I was bored to tears.
I enjoyed this book a lot...it was one that I'll definitely read again.
Well he finished the story, but Flyy Girl is still the best!
Can't really go wrong with Omar's books.
Not my favorite.
I'm not sure what to think about the book. When I first start reading it I didn't really like it. But I just pick the book back up to finish it and like the ended. I didn't love it, but I like it. I think I'll reread the whole book again.
Over all I like the character VAnessa. I like who she turn out to be in the end. Tracy this time around was a little weak for me. In the ended I don't like some of the action she told and why she did those things.

I thought the book was a little dry in the beginning and the middle. Towards the end, it started to get better. Im glad I finished the book because i was tempted not to. I didn't like the fact that Victor was still a Muslim. Maddie and her friend was gettin on my nerves, and Jason is a pain in the ass. Overall, the book was an ok read.

Good book, i think i pretty much predicted the ending. I liked it though because it is a urban book. I'd suggest it to anyone!
I didn't like the fact that this book was taken from the cousin's perspective. She seemed alittle to obssessed with Tracy's life - it would have been nice to just have a story with her having a life of her own.
I love anything Omar Tyree, he was one of the first African American Authors I picked up as a teenager.
