Now, in "Married Men," he's back with another round of the battle of the sexes, as four lifelong friends struggle to be cool with the everyday hassles of marriage.Kyle Richmond had everything -- a beautiful wife, three wonderful kids, and a s...more

Good Friendship
Ok I like the fact that these men have been friends for years and still share a major part of their lives with one another! That's real cool because I don't think friendships should end.
Kyle is obviously the leader, he gets married first (white girl) and he owns a successful black business. His whole world changes when he's falsely accused by a racist cop. He can't have sex with his wife; he goes all the way to Africa leaving his family to find himself! Where was he when he was s...more

I could tell this was from Weber's earlier books considering I've read his latest books before this one. I enjoyed it but not as much as his other books, although it was well-written. Sometimes I got confused with keeping up with the characters, they all blended and meshed instead of being memorable and separate. But if you like Carl Weber's books you'll enjoy this one also. It was funny, sad, silly, serious at the times it needed to be.
Married men was a very good book. Mr. Weber really gave a very insight look into the lives of four very different married men. Though this is a work of fiction you can easily say you have met or have someone like any one of these men in your family or circle of friends.

This is ok if you like that kind of soap opera type book. I felt like I was reading a script for a day time TV show. My grandmother called them her stories.

This book will make you wonder about your marriage and wanting to get married. Ladies be very secure in your man before reading this book!
Great book for men to read cause we can all related to one of the characters. Glad this was the first one of his books I read!!
If memory serves me correctly, I believe that this was the first book I read of his....Then I read a few more of his books.

hilarious and kept my interest from beginning to end...it's always good to see things from a male perspective.
I have this book, but read some time ago, but I am a fan of all of carl weber books, all of them are good.
This Book Was Off The Hook
Married men was good for four good reasons. They were Kyle, Wil, Allen and Jay. Every woman knows at least one of these characters no matter where they are in life. My favorite character from the book was Allen. I'm glad things worked out for him in the end, he was a very sweet man. I enjoy the way Mr. Weber writes, each character had their own chapter. If you are looking for real page-turner, you must read this book. It's packed with loads of drama and twist and turns...more

fast read, kinda perdictable in some parts but the end of the book was someting you wouldn't expect
Great story in this book...I think this is the book that turned me on to Mr. Weber.
I really enjoyed this book with it's lively characters and page turning plot.
Related to this one on quite a few levels! GREAT READ!
great book worth reading to past some time!
Nice to read a book from a man's point of view!
I just love African authors,this is a good read.
Entertaining read.
Good stuff!
Good read
Straight page turner! Could NOT put it down. Characters were hilarious. Carl Weber keeps doing his thing. A must read!!
This book definitely kept me entertained. It's like the male version of "Waiting to Exhale"... There is something addicting about this kind of drama and it definitely had it's funny moments. I got a little tired of the repetition (i.e. - a character "sucking their teeth") and the profanity, while hilarious in some parts, was obnoxious in others. I highly recommend this book to someone who likes to read trashy, girlie novels with a lot of cussing and sex.
Just proves what I've always thought - Men are worse than woman. Just conniving! Fun read seeing the world from men's demented logical perspective.
Well, this is the male's version of Waiting TO Exhale I guess and the funny thing is, for the most part, the men are still dogs. And the women were very disappointing but I know they were a realistic glimpse into how Black women can act sometimes. I liked the drama in this book, it wasn't too over the top, I just got very bored with Jay and his situation.
Very diverse, fleshed out group of characters with divergent stories, each one interesting in its own way.
This book was able to run the gamut of emotions; at times it was funny, heartfelt, soapy but always it was a page-turner.

This was a great book with great characters. The story line was great and the ending was good. All the characters have a very funny story to tell. From beginning to end I was hooked. Excellent read (to me)
A very good book. This one sold me on Mr. Weber. I couldn't put it down. Excellent topic, character development, plot development, and twist. A must read to add to your shelve.

This was a good read. I enjoyed how the married men had to deal with their problems they created and learned from them.
