Powerful and disturbing
Revisado: 11-01-24
This is a unique take on Huck Finn and Big Jim’s life and what happened next. It is from Jim’s aka James’s point of view. It is beautifully written and shines a light on the pain and humiliation that enslaved people felt. The humanity they had to hide from the enslavers. White people felt better about slavery by thinking African Americans were savages or as low as animals. They kept them from learning to read so they can pretend they were stupid. It was a cruel world and their ancestors are trying to hide it from the history books.

Fun historical ride
Revisado: 09-18-24
I enjoyed this book very much. It had interesting facts and history along with an enjoyable future fantasy much like Jurassic Park.

For those who have enjoyed the challenges of book one of this series, we present book two. Buckle your seat belts and get ready for another roller coaster ride that will present new concepts and either threaten or expand your belief systems. Dolores Cannon continues to uncover complicated metaphysics, creating the need for sequels.

Dark
Revisado: 02-01-24
It was interesting but dark. I found the narrator’s voice grating. The story is pretty depressing.

Historia
In 1972, when workers in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, were digging the foundations for a new development, the last thing they expected to find was a skeleton at the bottom of a well. Who the skeleton was and how it got there were two of the long-held secrets kept by the residents of Chicken Hill, the dilapidated neighborhood where immigrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side and shared ambitions and sorrows. Chicken Hill was where Moshe and Chona Ludlow lived when Moshe integrated his theater and where Chona ran the Heaven & Earth Grocery Store.

True American story
Revisado: 01-18-24
America the great and the painful. This book takes place in a small PA. Town in the post WWI era when new immigrants were flowing into the states competing for jobs with the Black Americans and lower class White Americans. This story shows the absurdity and harm of prejudices. It shows humanity in dark times. This is a complicated and often painful story but so is the story of America.

Historia
Amber Jamison can’t believe she’s about to become the latest victim of a serial killer. She’s savvy and street smart, so when she gets pushed into, of all things, a white windowless van, she is more angry than afraid. Things get even weirder when she’s miraculously saved by a mysterious woman . . . who promptly disappears. Who was she? And why is she hunting serial killers? You’d think escaping one psychopath would be enough, but Amber’s problems are just beginning.

I really enjoyed this book. It was fun to drive listening to their adventures. The narrator was great. It may not be a book for everyone but if you are a true crime fan you will appreciate this book.

What a mess our country is politically. Our Democratic experiment is ever changing. This was very entertaining but also disturbing. It has definitely made me think.

A happy surprise
Revisado: 06-26-22
I didn’t know what to expect with this book but it became a really fantastic story. The actors were great. It was a but odd that there were other actors who each read one chapter but it added an interesting take to the story.

Great writer
Revisado: 07-02-21
I enjoyed this book but it is not good for those that are squeamish or sensitive. The writing is top notch. It was wonderfully descriptive without over doing it. The relationship between the father and daughter is special and complicated as most are.
