HILARIOUS

Hey Trey, I'm sure you're reading this. What must it be like for an author to see his readers' reviews?I've read all of your books and this is the best one yet. Definitely movie material. Need help with a screenplay? The expired cough syrup and marijuana delusion is priceless. And the cult followers wearing GAP clothing? Brilliant. This is great satire. It's perfect for end of the century hysteria.Can't wait for your next one.

Huge challenge to racial essentialism.

Trey Ellis has lifted African Americans out of America's social-spiritual background. At the same time he has exposed the nasty underside of a tempting, yet clearly dangerous, avenue for finding "one's self".In addition, however, rhrn is a primer for those with the, uh, might I say, golden tongue. One takes a chance on either side of the divide and some like it both ways.

This book is hilarious and thought-provoking. A must-read.

Right Here, Right Now mixes brilliant satire with laser-sharp observation, and the best thing is you can never tell which one's which. The more outlandish it gets, the realer it seems, somehow. I love this book.

Right Here, Right Now, Right On!

Ellis does a marvelous job here of completing the thematic lattice he started with his first two works. While Platitudes has the exuberant if uneven gait of the young thoroughbred, RHRN marks the confident gallop of a literary stallion. He may be furlongs from the finish, perhaps, but Ellis has accomplished, in my opinion, a rare novelistic triple crown.
