A Comprehensive and Analytical Book Review

The Madonna of 115th Street
Written by Robert A. Oris
Reviewed by Lucia J. Strother

Robert Orsi’s close attention to detail throughout his book The Madonna of 115th Street in the final two chapters. Because the first several chapters are kind of GAY--- but in these he really shows us that he knows his shit, uk? Robert Orsi is a gr8 gr8 man,. I think. I was a little confused about who the Madonna of 115th street actually was? I didn’t know Madonna lived there, or that long ago. I know that Jesus was her boyfriend but did he really die???? I just saw him on perez and he looked alive! Madonna of 115th street was a really well developed character – I really liked the foreshadowing in chapter 4. The final two chapters really paid off. Like, really paid off. I was starting to think Robert Orsi was a really boring man, but now I realized he must have known the Madonna of 115th street. Today I read the last chapter, and it really paid off. I wasn’t going to, but it served me well. I want to respond to the last chapter’s lack of detail. I’m offended by the lack of detail in the last chapter. I wasn’t going to say anything, but now I am, and it’s paying off. The second to last chapter was absolutely stunning. I loved the sex scene in the hot tub. In conclusion, although Robert Orsi certainly took his time making his point, he finally made it, and what a point it was. It certainly paid off, and it certainly served us well.

Quality, right there. A+. I really liked how you read to the end of the book -- it really says a lot about you as a person and your commitment to your academics. Keep up the good work.
