Mina's Joint (Triple Crown Publications Presents)

Mina's Joint was a great read! I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Mina is your average 'around the way girl' that seems to have found her way out. She has the world in the palm of her hands because of her fiance's family, prestige, and money, but in gaining the world she's losing her self and her soul. She's fighting the battle of trying to uncover just who the real Mina James' is and during this period of searching, Victor, a teenage crush re-surfaces from her past and she finds it a struggle to stop him from sparking that inferno that burns between them. Mina's Joint has plenty of drama, action, and unexpected plots that keep you captivated with this tale.

The characters are very distinctive, entertaining, and bring an extra snazz to Mina's Joint.

Ms. Ervin is a very gifted writer, although with 'Mina's Joint' her style of writing seemed more similar toward another's authors style. Ms. Ervin is a force to be reckoned with. "Chyna Black" is still her best piece of work in my opinion. I do see growth, and I give her the earned props, because she is an excellent writer and an asset to Urban Lit!

I tell you Victor is unlike any man that I have known. Do they really make men like that? If they do I am definitely looking for one cause I definitely fell in love with Victor. The best parts of the books was Victor's. That other dude really sucked I really don't see why she would want to be with anybody like that in the first place I don't care what amount of money that he had. The book was alright it had some good parts in and than there were some get on with it parts. I realy did like that the author made the main character in this book a thick girl. This book would make you want to fall in love if you already haven't.

Keisha Ervin you did the Damn Thang on this one!!! This has to be the best book I've read in a long time. I loved all the characters in this book, they all seem to just come alive, and boy do they. They make you laugh, cry, and wanna kick some ass! Each characters has a different side and background to them. Delicious had to be my faviorte he had me LOL through out the entire book! Mina's family reminded me of "The Klumps" they are funny as hell. And VICTOR!(NO WORDS CAN BE PUT INTO WORDS) Mina's character is a sweet and funny person, but she is torn between love and money, (What we do for money) just follow your heart it won't stir you wrong! Mina learns what it feels to be truly in love, and not in love for all the wrong reasons. I won't tell spoil the book, but go out and buy it!!!

I have to keep saying your name over and over. These readers don't realize that they are truly sleeping on you. First you did your thing in Me and My Boyfriend, then there was Chyna Black. Now Mina's Joint girl what is next cause I see you are not going anywhere you are making your mark on the literary world with characters that are not easily forgettable. Meesa and Black, Mina and Victor. I just can't wait to see what is next. Readers I implore you to go and buy all three books they can be read over and over again because they are real life characters at least the author paints that vision in your mind. Keep doing Ma LOL as Victor would say........

Mina's Joint is:
A love Story
A touch of Thuggism
A twist of humor
Mina's Joint is Keisha Ervin's BEST WORK YET!
I really enjoyed this story, after looking for a love story with some excitement here comes Mina's Joint!! And I become so enthralled with the characters and what's going on. So much so that I picked this book up twice, once just to see how it would begin, and I read 18 pages. The second time, I read the entire book. This was a quick and pleasant read with a lot of drama. I enjoyed the whole thang. I am happy that it ended the way that it did, I was a little scare that things were going the other way. I had to keep reminding myself that I was not the author. Yes, Me and My Boyfriend and Chyna Black were good reads, but this is my favorite of the three. Ms. Ervin's writing is raising itself to new horizons and its showing. I congratulate Keisha and TCP on another BANGER.

Keisha Ervin did the dang on thing i LOVED it. She captured your attention from the very first page and demanded that you go along for the ride. I felt like i was under the hair dryer when she walk in with those big framed sunglasses on, and almost jumped out my seat after seeing what was behind them. Yes indeed she as done it again. Congrads. Ms. Girl

I checked this book out of the libarary Monday morning. I finished this book today! It was one of the best books that I have ever READ.If I didn't have to sleep or go to work, I would have finished reading it sooner. Before, the other day, I did not know that this book existed. I love Keisha Ervin's style, I love even more that we live in the same city. She has made me realize that writing a good novel is possible. I will start on my dream of becoming a wonderful black author coming out of St. Louis!!!! GOOD JOB KEISHA, I AM GETTING ALL OF YOUR BOOKS FOR MY COLLECTION...P.S. YA LEFT ME HANGIN' GIRL AT THE END....CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT'S NEXT!

I couldn't put it down.
She needs to write another book to pick up where this one left off.
Can not just leave us hanging about Mina and Meesha!!

This book was just okay...it did hold my interest, however; it wasn't proofread very well. A lot of times the wrong words were in the sentence which made it hard for me to read. I just think the editors need to be more careful when proofreading. Other than that, it was ok...I read it in 2 days.

My favorite read of 2006. Mina's Joint is an exceptional book. The characters were vibrant, sexy, funny, welcoming, memorable and most of all familiar. Rita, Aunt Bernice, Uncle Chester and Delicious were hilarious.

Unfortunately, Mina's choice to marry Andrew just to escape the ghetto is all too familiar.

I loved the way the characters, Black and Meesa were blended into Mina's Joint. What an ingenious way to end a book. I'm anxious to read Keisha's next book.
