Really enjoyed

Revisado: 08-22-23

I'm neither young nor black, and knew little about the world of online gaming. But I like to listen to books outside my usual genres, and this book quickly became a favorite. It had a fresh story line, perspectives from a range of characters, and a surprise ending. All round good read. Highly recommend.

informative

I didn't like the lecturer's voice at all, but then I raised the speed to 2.5x and it ceased to be annoying and I got through the 17 hr book in 8 hours. I learned a lot.

Interesting, but not the story billed

Revisado: 11-23-22

This book was billed as a story of an amazing woman who turned the jail where she had been held into a school. That is a complete misrepresentation. It is instead a history of Richmond slave traders and the slaves they bore children with, along with lots of general history about the slave trade, the sexual abuse of slaves, the Revolutionary War, and struggles of Black people up to this day. And the current efforts to turn the jail site into a museum. Some nuggets about Mary Lumpkin we're obtained and presented, but little about her is actually known. The author's favorite word was 'perhaps' because what Mary did and why are almost entirely educated guesses. And she didn't start the school - she rented the facility out to the school founders. Perhaps because she cared, perhaps she needed the money. No one knows.

Anyway, I learned some things. The author clearly put. lot of effort into her research. But the description of the book is deceptive. I thought maybe I'd misread it, but I went back and checked - it does not describe this book at all and leads you to believe you are purchasing a really cool story about an awesome lady. But this book is a history lesson that includes some info about Mary's life, and ends with a plug for the museum the author hopes will be built.

I got this book on a good sale, but if I'd paid full price I'd be pretty annoyed right now.
