Emotional roller coaster. What a ride!

Revisado: 01-14-22

This should be a part of the history curriculum required reading at the post high school level. I experienced so many emotions while listening to this brilliant story. I felt so much pain for the ancestors. I also felt their joy. We cannot even begin to imagine what it took for us as a people to be here today. A MUST read for the HUMAN race.

Prepare for an emotional rollercoaster ride...

Revisado: 11-20-18

This book led me on a journey of roller coaster emotions. Well written and heartfelt. I listened via Audible as Mrs. Obama read this so eloquently. She never forgot where she came from. I think that's why she's so relatable. I can't claim home as the South side of Chicago, but Illinois is where I was born and bred. She is my best friend in my head and if she ever comes any where near Atlanta, GA, I would love to have my book autographed. May God continue to bless and keep her and her beautiful family. They made us proud as our first family and continue to do so. Absolutely love and miss them!

The story line is good, but the narrator is just bad. His feminine voice parts is just awful.

What made the experience of listening to Who Asked You? the most enjoyable?

The narrators were the key to my enjoyable experience.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Who Asked You??

I enjoyed Betty Jean. Too many moments to count, but I love the way she loved.

What about the narrators’s performance did you like?

The way they made the story come alive. I laughed and teared up throughout the story. I love Phylicia Rashad. She is one of my most favorite people.

Papa Pope magnificent narrator!

Would you consider the audio edition of Invisible Man to be better than the print version?

Yes

Who was your favorite character and why?

Narrator. Although it took him almost the whole book to reach his aha moment, he was finally able to see the world and people in it without his original naiveté.

Have you listened to any of Joe Morton’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

First time for Joe Morton. I hope to find others. He is fantastic and made the book come alive and very interesting.

Great history lesson!

Revisado: 06-25-15

What made the experience of listening to Gentle Giant of Dynamite Hill the most enjoyable?

Just learning about a behind the scenes legend such as Arthur D. Shores and his amazing legacy was the great experience.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Helen was my favorite. She was feisty and got angry the same way I think I would have in her same situation. I love that she went on and followed in her father's footsteps.

Which character – as performed by Valeri Ross – was your favorite?

Helen Shores Lee (now Honorable Helen Shores Lee)

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This book made me laugh and cry. Laugh as Helen got whoopings for being hard headed and crying for all the senseless deaths and uphill struggles as well as the victories.

Any additional comments?

This is a must read for anyone who enjoys learning about our history. We are all familiar with the Civil Rights activists who were in the forefront, but this is one that should be in the history books. I would LOVE to see a documentary of this phenomenal man. I will probably read this book again.
