Great character development, excellent performance, solid (prehistory) story.

I really did not enjoy the complete patheticness of the female character. Her " I need a man and I'm going to grasp onto every single word every man says to me hoping and praying that they will love me but realizing that nobody would ever love somebody as menial and useless as me" sad sob story kind of made me sick to my stomach. I think it very much detracted from the whole story.

This was a ... nice story, maybe written for an 8th grade reader. However it has the requisite sex scenes, including sexual violence, making it less appropriate for very young readers. The storyline felt limited, not much character development or depth. I thought the performance was ok, but it drove me absolutely crazy to have him pronounce words ending on ois as if they ended in oir (think travoir instead of travois)!! Other than that, the reader was fairly interesting. I listened to the full book but I don't think I would have missed out if I just gave up around the middle of the book.

So nice to see Ruth portrayed as a woman as opposed to seeing her as a slave/Mammy.

I do wish I'd heard more about Ruth's love and disappointments in life. She must have had many. I would also have enjoyed more interaction between Ruth and the other black people she interacted with. It gave me chills to have Ellen address her by her given name as though she and Ruth were friends. However I suppose that encourages that nasty trope of kind and loving, generous owners of enslaved people. All in all, it was well worth the read.

It ties up the first two books fairly well. I didn't see any glaring storyline holes. I felt like this didn't grow the characters as much as he did in the first two books. this seem to be much more about more tactics and such which is fine but I wanted greater character development. I think the reader was ok. not really, just okay. I think I'm going to pass on that last book because I don't think there's much more of the story to tell.

Characters were pretty well developed, story flowed from history to present, interesting premise, kept my attention most of the time

This seemed to me less of a well-told story and more of an opportunity for some self-aggrandizing hoorah. The characters here are poorly defined, lack depth, and lean entirely too heavily on stereotypes to create a sense of relationship among them. I lost count of the similes after 32 in just the first half of the book. I think perhaps he slows down a bit with them in the second half (like a big iron locomotive coming to tight mountain turn LOL). Really they got pretty monotonous after a while. I finished the book to see if it came to some sense of conclusion or closure for anyone in the story. it did not. I certainly would not read the second one.

This story starts off with sort of a dystopian intention I suppose but the only dystopian piece is this the author makes it easier for parental rights to be terminated for child abuse. Beyond that one twist, this is just a sort of basic fictional novel. Freida, the main character, leaves her child unattended and ends up in extreme parenting school for a year or so. There really isn't anything compelling about any of the characters in the story. The author inserted a little sex here and there to try to grasp the reader's interest, but it didn't serve to move the story forward at all so it seemed pretty gratuitous to me. Apart from poor character development, there was little in the way of plot lines. The ending was quite predictable, the final several lines reading like a poorly written Junior high School essay. I gave it two stars because I found the practice child at the school slightly interesting and the narrator was clear and precise. Not recommended reading in my book.
