Paperback
Publisher: Lulu.com

20 Warning Signs of Down Low Brothers is a powerful book. It’s a must read for all women of color. The book gives very good answers to questions like: Is my man on the Down Low? How do I know if my man is on the Down Low? What is the Down Low? In addition, the book contains excellent statistics from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The statistics gives a text and graphical view of the epidemic of black women and HIV. In addition, this powerful book includes a real-life interview with a Down Low brother. He tells all and tells it like it is. The book also includes 3 fables of the possibilities. The fables (short stories) are fictional, but very well be reality.

It's ORGASM, not ORGANISM!
Customer Rating: 3 out of 5 
This book was riddled with typos and grammatical errors. Was there no publisher? Anyway, I liked that the book was double-spaced so it was pretty easy to read. The majority of the book is really about the AIDS/HIV epidemic in the black community. It had articles and statistics and so forth. I just concentrated on the signs and the interview with the DL brotha.

Most of the signs were dead on point, some of the signs I did disagree with though because they could have applied to any brotha, not just a down low brotha.

I recommend this book if you have NO CLUE, but if you have some clue--you probably should bypass this book.

Extremely Informative
Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 
This book is a very good example of what sisters need to determine which brothers might be on the down low. The book is full of well needed information on the down low issues facing the black community today. The book was very helpful in determining what to look for in brothers who are on the DL. The 20 warning signs were very informative and straight to the point. This is a must read for all sisters of color. Many thanks to Nubia for taking the time to publish a much needed book on the warning signs of brothers living life on the down low.

FANTASTIC
Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 
Information books like this one are so badly needed to help bring a stop to this GENOCIDE (a planned anniliation) against black women. These grossly pernicious (tending to cause serious harm, evil) acts should be treated as attempted murder. So many of these so called brothers, target men with families. UGLY

Does nothing to help.
Customer Rating: 1 out of 5 
The ONLY thing which books like this one accomplish is make those Black and Latino women that are already paranoid even more so--not only does it NOT shed any new light on this whole DL phenomenon but it does nothing to help. The proliferation of books on this extremely controversial subject has not done much for anyone as most of them are as tabloidy and sensationalist as can be. J.L. King's bestseller "On The Down Low" is a far better and much more REALISTIC read.

Sisters need to take notice and be aware
Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 
This book is a good reference and opens sisters eyes about the dangers of encounting a sexual relationship with a down low brother. Ths live interview is very real and makes you think about your sexual behaviors in the past. In addition, the book has good statistics from the CDC that every sister should take very seriously. The 20 warning signs are a good spice in this book, they make sisters sit back and review their men actions and the company they keep. This is a very good read and a very good reference guide for sisters who are concerned about the DL.
