my favorite podcast...

Revisado: 12-29-24

this is regularly funny and well thought out and clever--i really enjoy listening even multiple times. only thing is that the files are regularly broken so episodes won't play on audible and even on this podcasts website. please fix these bugs!

Hella financial privilege

Revisado: 02-15-24

I've read this book many times over the years, and time was I would have called it a favorite... but after reading again (6th time or so) it's distracting how unrealistic this would be for characters less well off. Almost as if it is saying that this type of life is more important and worthy of examination. hmm. A lot of the story is still enjoyable, just this thought is in the background.

insufferable

Revisado: 01-12-24

I am tired of hearing about the plight of poor whites during the time of more overt racism. the reader is expected to sympathize with the young white protagonist as grown black people call her Miss and she them by first name. A regretful purchase

Overwhelmingly white

Revisado: 09-20-23

My goodness... the characters in this story are so white, almost painfully so. There is only one person of color involved ever, peripherally. He is "the black man".
Besides that, goodness the main character and her daughter are whiny as all get out, and I don't care for the way this reader performs children-- it's creepy.

Glad I got this on sale.

An Important Story, Yes...

Revisado: 09-15-23

I kind of wish the author had had a more experienced writer help to write this story. Yes, this is an important story for the LGBTQ+ community as well as the black community, but I think too much jargon/ slang is used.

Not bad

Revisado: 08-28-23

I guess these characters are realistic, but their conservatism is sometimes as jarring to listen to as the narrator's voice for the lead character's husband.

Glad I got this one on sale, though I would recommend listening to it. It's a pleasant enough narrative, and I genuinely got hooked. I don't think it's transcendent, but this was certainly worth my time.

This podcast gives new context to the issues surrounding MJ. It is well produced and easy to listen to.

An incredible book

Revisado: 04-29-23

The scope of this book was breathtakingly vast, and I'm very pleased to have bought it and listened. It's true that the literal answer of why the dodo is gone is quite short, and if that's all you wanted in a book you'll be disappointed. But this book is about more than the extinction of one animal. I hope things like this are widely read/ experienced

A good listen, not CP

Revisado: 08-02-22

I enjoyed this book. Well developed characters. interesting and compelling story. Believably tragic in many ways. Survivors of childhood SA may not care for this book.
