Java Weathersby’s novel, CRAZY MEN CAN MAKE YOU DO CRAZY THINGS, is based on a true story, and answers the question: Is craziness contagious? Beginning with her high school years and moving into college, Weathersby weaves an enjoyable tale about her life and relationships with men.
In high school Java begins dating Miguel after they attend a school dance together. They appear to have a good relationship, but underneath the surface Miguel is dealing with some issues that will keep these two from ever really being more than friends. While Miguel has issues he is not the first official crazy man she will date, instead he is a stepping stone to Omar, a man whom she meets in college. Omar is everything a girl can ask for; he takes her places, buys her things and seems to have a genuine interest in her. Java moves out of her mother’s house and into Omar’s apartment, and things begin to change for her. He becomes obsessed with her even to the point that he kidnaps her rather than allowing her to go to a dance. Java enters the relationship as a virgin and the two are not having sex so Java is willing to allow Omar to go outside the relationship for sexual gratification. To make matters worse, during the time that she is dealing with Omar she goes out on a date with a co-worker to get revenge on Omar and ends up dealing with another crazy man who attempts to rape her. Java continues her relationship with Omar and doesn’t realize how bad things are until she finds herself alone on the streets in the middle of the night.
CRAZY MEN CAN MAKE YOU DO CRAZY THINGS is an intriguing tale that will have readers saying, “No she didn’t!” or” What is she thinking?” The novel is written in a conversational tone and will keep the reader interested in what will happen next. The only downside is the length. Weathersby mentions in both the introduction and the end that this is only the first book with emphasis on one relationship; however, it could be longer. Overall, this book will take you through a range of emotions, will make you laugh, and make you wonder. All this while teaching a lesson to stay away from crazy men because you never know when or if their craziness will rub off on you.

I had the pleasure of reading “Crazy Men Can Make You Do Crazy Things” and I enjoyed the novel. It was one that you could not put down because you wanted to know what crazy antics were going to happen between Java and her men. It also brought to life the New Orleans we miss so much. I am ready for the sequel to see how crazier things will be. Java, continued success with your writing career!!

I don’t know if I’m the first male to read this book, but as a father of an 18 year old daughter, entering college for the first time, I must say that this book came RIGHT ON TIME! Many times I wondered if I sheltered my daughter so much that she would easily fall prey to the “smooth-talking” brothers in college that this author spoke of. I know about all the mind games that they play, because I played them when I was in college. My worst nightmare would be for my daughter to meet “the old me” in school.
The author does an excellent job in expressing a view that is seldomly spoke of…the view of a naive, 18 year old virgin. She exposes the manipulative ways of (some) college males that have more than just an education on their minds. Let’s face it, because this was a true story, you may say that she was too naive, or some may even say she was stupid…but the bottom line is, we were all raised differently and WE ARE WHO WE ARE and ultimately, nobody but Jesus can change that.
My daughter has NO CHOICE but to read this book. Just as the write-up says, it made me laugh, cry and at times, mad as hell, because all I could see was my daughter walking in this author’s shoes.
EVERY COLLEGE OR COLLEGE-BOUND FEMALE SHOULD READ THIS BOOK.
May God continue to use this book to entertain, but more importantly, to help others. Hats off to Java Weathersby…A JOB WELL DONE!!

“Crazy Men Can Make You Do Crazy Things” was a well written testimony of Java Weathersby and her experience with college men. The novel grabs your attention without warning and you’re in a trance that you can’t break loose from until its completion. You want to know why Omar is so darn crazy and why does Miss Java do the things she does… Nevertheless, I finished the exciting novel in a few hours and I’m looking forward to book number two.
