De: Omar Tyree

Narrado por: Omar Tyree

Omar Tyree, New York Times and Blackboard bestselling author and winner of the 2001 NAACP Image Award for literary fiction, delivers a powerful story of two childhood friends lured into the sex, drugs, money, and madness of R&B stardom.
Darin Harmon and John Williams, two good church boys from Charlotte, North Carolina, have been best friends forever. Both use their God-given talents to breeze through high school, and both are awarded scholarships to North Carolina A&T State University; Darin for foortball and John for music.
During their sophomore year, John, the introverted momma's boy, showcases his musical genius in a homecoming talent show that changes both their lives forever. John's romantic crooning earns him the nickname "Loverboy". As his R&B career begins, he asks Darin to tag along as his manager. Darin wants no part in the music scene and has big dreams of his own, but when he suffers a season-ending football injury, he hops on the "Loverboy" bandwagon. The two set out to turn John into an R&B superstar. For Darin, dealing with John's rising fame proves a difficult challenge. The more the two adapt to the dangerous celebrity lifestyle of big-time money, fast women, and recreational drugs, the harder it gets for both to "just say no!"
Just Say No! is destined to become another urban-American classic from Omar Tyree.©2001 Omar Tyree; (P)2001 Simon and Schuster Inc., AUDIOWORKS Is an Imprint of Simon & Schuster Audio Division, Simon & Schuster Inc.

my favorite book

this will always be my favorite book of all time I wish John did have to die in the end tho.

Excited

I read this book when it first came out and was excited that it was on Audible. It was like hearing it for the first time. I listen to it in one setting. Great storyline, it held my attention throughout, I jys hate Lover boy died in the end!

the characters real came alive

the change in tones as he read made it seem more realistic to the story

download more books

would love to listen to the rest off your books. should think about a second part to this book

Pretty good

I remember reading this book as a teenager and remember having to make up the notes to the songs. His singing was too terrible lol but it was a nice touch. It was pretty good.

Great Book!!

Even though this book is a few years old it was still very entertaining!! Great!!!!

Beautiful

After the most intense part, I was determined not to cry, but he got me at the end!
I was cracking up over the singing in between. it was truly a beautiful story.

Lovedddddd

One of my favorite books and Omar reading it brought it full circle. I have it in hardback as well

love those books

I feel in love with the many books that he wrote. flyy girl was the first one. and everyone after that. happy to hear just say no. even though I read it twice

Good book

I have read many of Omar Tyrees books including the legendary ones, Flyy Girl, and For The Love of Money. I have enjoyed every single one of them. I’m definitely an urban fiction kinda girl.

Pros: Great overall story line
Good narration
For the people who enjoy those kinds of books where ‘everything works out’, this is one of them.

Cons: not enough drama and suspense
Wish there was a better singer doing the singing narration parts, but I get it’s just an audible book. Omar Tyree did his best lol. (Honestly this could have made the audio book 5 stars for me).

Overall, good read. I do recommend it.
