Six Days in January

by William Fredrick Cooper

Just after midnight on a bitterly cold Thursday in January, William McCall is stumbling down an icy Manhattan street, wondering when things started to go wrong. As he makes his way to an empty subway station, he begins piecing together the events and relationships that have led him to this moment-alone, ashamed, and kicked out into the cold.

Realizing that he must face the past in order to restore his faith in himself, over the next six days William thinks back through the years, examining the events that led to his downward spiral. He is forced to confront memories and feelings that he has kept buried-a painful pivotal relationship, several emasculating incidents, countless ill-advised choices and mistakes, myriad insecurities and fears-and have chipped away at his sensitive, chivalrous qualities, leaving him cynical, selfish, and bitter.

A candid, cautionary tale of how a quest for romance can unintentionally transform a person into someone new, Six Days in January is an eye-opening, emotionally charged glimpse into the heart of an African-American man.

This book is called 6 Days in January. Well it should be called 4 days of my life I wasted reading this crap in October. This book was horrible. I was tired of his whining. I was tired of the author putting in music references every page. We get it! The character likes music! It was so bad that I gave it a try but the last 40 pages I either skimmed through or skipped all together.

6 Days was an enjoyable read. It was awesome to read from a male's perspective in dealing with the trials of relationships and being in love. This novel shed light on areas that we don't get to see or hear to much about. Can't wait to read "There's always a Reason"

The book wasn't bad at all. I loved the story line. I loved the fact that they showed how materialistic some women are and that it wasn't a man-bashing book(I am so tired of those). I am disappointed in the way the book ended but I guess not every book has to end in a fairy tale ending.

I found this to be a page-turner and an enjoyable book.

No glitz's, no glamor, just pure emotions to keep a read wanting to turn pages. You want to race to the end. Male insight to self discovery
