Review:

"Up to No Good" by Carl Weber...

There is always a man around the corner. Church trustee James Black should know--he's usually that man, carrying on adulterous affairs and sleeping with one conquest after another. But when he suddenly finds himself truly in love, the other women in his church have a thing or two to say about it--including his daughter, Jamie.
Jamie has every intention of dismantling the relationship--until she discovers a mystery woman has been secretly calling her lover, Louis. Meanwhile, James's son, Darnel, spirals out of control after he catches his fiancée cheating. James knows he's to blame for the turmoil that surrounds him and his loved ones. Now he'll have to find a way to bring peace to their lives. But he can only do it by facing some hard truths about himself and changing his scandalous ways.


What I liked from the novel.....


This was another one of this author good reads. "Up to No Good" was definitely one of this author types of drama novels that will keep you on the edge of your seat with a lot of drama and suspense and leave you wondering what will come next. You will be left saying 'what a story' that was a little predictable but yet not disappointing in any way with some characters that were simply off the chart. Some of the characters were greatly flawed while a few others were simply well developed, engaging and oh so real to give the readers a simply good character development with a excellent subplots along with a unforgettable story line. The ending will definitely leave thinking just how far would you go to help out a blood relative. That ending left me in awe...because even though I know that person had a lots of demons and definitely needed help....I never thought that would happen. I am still shaking my head about that ending. All that is left to say is wow what a interesting intensed read that still I have thoughts about long after this read. If you are looking for drama with a lots of pain and craziness you have come to the right place for "Up to No Good" will give it all to you and more!

Watch What You Step Into

If you could sum up Up to No Good in three words, what would they be?

LIVE LOVE LAUGH

Who was your favorite character and why?

James, He kept me laughing as he went thru his sexscapedes. Although he was a womanizer, he was true example of a pure hearted father. He also showed that it's never too late to change for the better.

Have you listened to any of the narrator’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Karen Pitman, Her performance seemed like it was more of a spoiled brat vs the other her performance which came across as one you didn't want to mess w/ her. Both were outstanding

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Oh YES. To many times I almost missed my transportation or wanted to postpone what I had planned.

Any additional comments?

Like a movie or a song, I look forward to listening to it again.

great !!!

LOVED THE BOOK! I love Carl Weber. I was in the edge with this!!!

What did you love best about Up to No Good?

When the other woman was revealed!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Trustee James Black, he opened up his heart to love and fell in with both feet.

Which scene was your favorite?

When Crystal found out about the competition, the one with the training wheels. I fell the hell out when I heard that. This dude (the reader and the writer) is awesome!

If you could rename Up to No Good, what would you call it?

I wouldn't change a thing!

Any additional comments?

The narrator made this book. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will be listening to it again real soon.
