absolutely terrific

Revisado: 03-30-25

The narration and narrator were the best; good pace, good tone. I had listened to Tom Sawyer years ago so had a ground for start, but that really wasn't necessary for this story. James, the man, represented everyman or at least how I hoped or wished for everyman to be. I really enjoyed all the small tales that unfolded along the way... several really well defined characters, tho mostly awful humans in my opinion, but crucial to the story. I will definitely search for another book by Mr Everett and also another with this narrator.

The cultural contrasts always being revealed & investigated by the lead character.

I enjoyed the story a lot. Very interesting. The narrator did well with all the voices & accents, but I was often frustrated with her varied tones, requiring me to be frequently adjusting the volume. A bit annoying.

Such courage!

Revisado: 07-20-23

The book was well done & I highly recommend it for everyone who has even the slightest interest in humanity. We cannot know from experience what all tracts in life exist, but Ms Lloyd gives us an incredible view into the world of children sold into sex work in this book. It's appalling, to say the least.
She & all "her girls" bravely reveal bits of themselves from their experiences; Ms Lloyd courageously baring her soul. But the glowing spirit of each still dominates their stories.

What an incredible view she gives us into the work that's been accomplished & all that's still to be done. I loved the book.

Multiple listens

Revisado: 06-07-22

Definitely not a struggle to listen. Appreciate the brevity so I can easily do repeat listens. Sam Harris always has things to say that hit home for me.
I like it that the author narrated. Perfect.

No struggle here

The author, as narrator a did a great job. She read of her early journey with life & the cancer that was dealt her. She navigates it all with honesty & clarity even when nothing is ever clear. She shares her many connections with virtual strangers & the messages she gleens from them...always being propelled into the next moment. Ms Jaouad writes beautifully & speaks it all with a silky smooth voice. I thank her for her courage to share.

What a charming & sweet love story. Jeff Daniels as narrator infused it with a simple tenderness that I really enjoyed.

May SC rise up!

Revisado: 08-17-21

Here is a story of a man who loves his home state of SC. He makes no bones about it. As this very personal tale unfolds, Mr Sellers frequently restates his desires for ways to improve his state in particular and for black people in general. His narration was great. This was an easy, enlightening & entertaining listen. Not too long either....(but then he is young & might have a tome for a memoir in another 30+years.) Good book! And I'm not from SC. I'm old, white & a woman.

A good listen

Revisado: 05-30-21

If you like learning about people in today's history and how they want to reveal themselves, then this is very good. Ms Rice is a woman I have admired greatly for her moral & ethical convictions. She describes some of how she came to be wired in such a way. She explains her time in our history & how she saw & performed in her various roles in the political arena. I do not think she is a great reader, as she narrates with a choppy cadence at times. But I would not have wanted another to have been the narrator; her way of narrating told me yet more about her. And that was fine with me.

Perfect bedtime story

Revisado: 05-30-21

The narration by the author is perfect. Audible could offer him yet another future. I've listened to this too many times to count. It has become a bedtime favorite as I already have heard it in its entirety & can now just hear a portion before sleep overcomes me. The narrator /author /musician also shares some of his performance pieces in this audible treat. I just love this quiet reveal by this gifted artist man.
