Fascinating book

Revisado: 08-20-16

Loved listening to this book but I'm not even sure I get the full meaning of it. It's almost like NG wrote it deliberately so that the book means to the reader what gods mean to their believers or even the non-believers like me - whatever you see there is what it is. Couldn't put it down!

An absolutely fascinating "must read"

Revisado: 03-15-16

A most compelling, thoroughly researched and well presented accurate account of the institution of religion. Well done!

Just terrible

Revisado: 11-09-15

If all I wanted to do was hear about how stupidity in a client can aggravate a good lawyer, I would just talk to my colleagues over a drink. This book does nothing for me and I suspect the potential stupid client won't get the message either. I'm disappointed!

Couldn't out it down

Revisado: 10-17-15

Some of the foreshadowing was too simplistic and gave details away when they might have been held back for better effect. However, the overall story was as great as the first 3. Amazing job, in my opinion. I didn't want to part with it when it ended.

The best read if my life

Revisado: 07-22-15

Intelligent, passionate and honest. Easy to read and east to follow because that's what the message is. The narration reflects all the beauty of the book in the best possible way. Everyone must read this book. It must be taught in school in grade 4.

The worst piece of garbage!

Revisado: 05-03-15

The only praise this author gets from me is to the effect that you've got to have some talent to write a whole book full of characters, none of whom have a single redeeming quality. Can you imagine a book where you are not happy or sad or anxious for anyone? Well, here's an experience for you. No plot, no real story line, no character development. Just the worst of trailer trash. No reason at all why all these people had to be plus size unless that was just insult to injury. If course, not to mention that I can't imagine any black person being grateful for being associated with this crap! I want my money back!

Couldn't put it down!

As usual, no disappointment here. Terribly compelling, historically informative and beautifully told! The narrator reads beautifully! My only disappointment is that it's over.

Horrifyingly human - mandatory reading

Revisado: 09-28-12

Beautiful, ugly, horrifying and to be permanently etched in your head. Should be mandatory for every white person, especially if you've ever thought that something going on too far away from your own world can be scary for just a minute but forgotten before your next meal. Robin Miles does some sort of magic with her reading of this book and the author is to be praised for the amazing job of being able to write something so real. I can't remember the last time I was this impressed with a book.

Doing justice to Balzac

Revisado: 09-10-12

Johanna Ward reads this book beautifully! She clearly has excellent control of both French and English and it shows! Thanks!

I wouldn't read it again

Revisado: 08-28-12

A strange kind of book. Well intentioned, obviously wanting to hit all the right nerves of social justice issues but not really hitting the spot - ever. I found it kind of irritating, to be honest. Never had that feeling of "gotta listen to the end". I'm not a writer but Laura Moriarty must have skipped a few classes herself, or just doesn't have that ability to kick the reader in the stomach.
