 Great! February 1, 1999

The pulse of The Walls of Jericho beats to the music of the characters' intelligence, self-reliance, commitment,and friendship. Although the sting of racism is a central theme, Fisher shines a greater light on the plague of "colorism" and its implications in the African-American culture. Ruldoph Fisher has authored a work that affords me the opportunity to teach high school students a novel that does not weigh its reality on the scales of profanity and promiscuity.What a delight! Finally, to help readers with the melodious dialect and slang used by the ever emerging characters, an index of "possible" unfamilar terms is provided.
 Fantastic January 22, 1999

There is only one word I can use to describe this and that is fantastic. This book is very well written and contains a good message about peoples personalities. Not only is this book interesting but it is funny as well. If you read any book in the next few months, read this one.
