Eye opening tale

Revisado: 02-17-25

James was a loose retelling of Huckleberry Finn and his adventures with Jim, a slave, belonging to the woman Huck lives with. It really is an eye opening story of slave life. At every turn I am surprised and often horrified by the details of the life this person is living. I actually have never read a more scathing and bitter account of slave life. The true inhumanity and disregard for these people is spelled out in plain language and makes me feel so sorry that more people didn't see the reality of what was going on. The writing is superb. The story draws you along with exciting details and rich description. I loved this book and recommend it. This is a good story with a solid dose of information to help people understand more about our society.

What I Needed

Revisado: 02-11-25

I was glad to read this book in these troubled times. It has the feeling of loss, hope and acceptance that I realize now, I need to look at these times through the same lens. Seth's words are magical and put together to paint the picture he is talking about. I live in Alaska and feel the same ache for the past that this book convays to me. I miss the simpler times and my long gone dog team. I can see that change is the only constant.

Eye-opening history

Revisado: 12-07-24

It was a compelling story of parts of history that have been left out, ignored and swept under the rug. I am encouraged that the path laid out here can lead to more understanding.

The narrator paints a compelling picture.

Revisado: 09-01-24

The story is so disturbing and I think I was hoping for explanations or reasons why the general population went along with such disruptions of "the normal way" of doing things. The end painted the picture quite clearly and I'm left with my own judgement of why.

I f you like dogs

Revisado: 08-07-19

This book is a detailed, scientific report on dog behavior. It is informative and can get too detailed but all in all the information is relevant and useful. I learned a lot of things I did not know before. The reader is good and easy to listen to.

Music History

Revisado: 03-22-19

This was a great insight into the life and career of the Queen of soul. It was somewhat disturbing to me to learn about all the trouble and heartache she endured throughout her life but it also showed her tenacity and will power. It's always interesting and eye opening to know the private lives of famous people. There were no music tracks on this recording and I feel it would have enhanced the story to hear the songs that the narrator talked about.

This was an interesting story of Johnny Cash and the people around him. It is an insight into fame and it's ups and downs. I enjoyed a new story about a very famous and influential musician.

Great story with wonderful detail

Revisado: 12-07-18

This was a rich textured story of a family living in a library. This was a childhood fantasy of mine and it was a good story to find out what that was like in real life. I appreciated the narration and would like to read more things by this author.
