Didn't love the narrarator

Revisado: 05-01-17

The book was great, the narrator not so much. Somehow he seemed disconnected from the character. Still worth the message.

I enjoyed the story, maybe I would have given it 5 stars if it hadn't been for the narration. Read the book instead if you can.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I think the listening time was well spent hearing that there was a black woman named Margret Morgan, who dared to fight back for her freedom. I think it was worth listening just to hear her story. But I would probably encourage you to read it on your own.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

I felt like the dialect and language was not appropriate. I’ve read a lot of period novels and I’m always baffled with the way the English language has transformed over the years. But in this book I didn’t feel like the language transplanted me into Pennsylvania in the 1830s. I kept feeling like some of the dialect that was used by the slaves for instance at the Bean plantation was not quite right. Not even whites in the South used those words in those days (at least not in the ones I have read). I kept feeling like, “Margret wouldn’t say that”… As I mentioned previously this was just my impression, you may not agree.I just didn't feel like I was in Pennsylvania, Maryland or anywhere else in the South.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

The narrator has a great voice but I felt like her rendition was a little too melodic and slightly disconnected from the character. I enjoyed the beginning, her ecstasy with freedom was very apparent and in my mind appropriate. However, when she started to discuss her anguish with losing her children it sounded much the same (her tone). I would have enjoyed the story more if the narrator would have abandoned her open mic performance. I don’t know that is just my opinion. You may thoroughly enjoy it.

Was All Different Kinds of Free worth the listening time?

Sure

Any additional comments?

Don't let my review deter you, see for yourself
