Historia
Written during the 1940s and early 1950s, when Baldwin was only in his twenties, the essays collected in Notes of a Native Son capture a view of Black life and Black thought at the dawn of the civil rights movement and as the movement slowly gained strength through the words of one of the most captivating essayists and foremost intellectuals of that era.

Read by the wrong person
Revisado: 05-12-17
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
Different reader. The voice simply does not demonstrate the mindset and the struggle behind James Baldwin's words. It's almost disrespectful because it simply doesn't capture the spirit of the times.
Who was your favorite character and why?
n/a
Would you be willing to try another one of Ron Butler’s performances?
Maybe for the right book but doubtful. Monotone, boring, no feeling, no change in voice
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
I'm not even sure if I can finish it.
Any additional comments?
Just like actors are chosen for movies, costumes are created, sets are done, so should the voice of the reader be taken in account for audio books. Deeply disappointing.

Historia
Eva never really wanted to be a mother - and certainly not the mother of a boy who ends up murdering seven of his fellow high school students, a cafeteria worker, and a much-adored teacher who tried to befriend him, all two days before his 16th birthday. Now, two years later, it is time for her to come to terms with marriage, career, family, parenthood, and Kevin’s horrific rampage, in a series of startlingly direct correspondences with her estranged husband, Franklin.

Movie great, book not so much
Revisado: 04-12-17
I usually feel the book is better than the movie but not in this case. Great plot but too many monologues and analysis of the story and not enough of the actual story. Disappointed
