Smith doesn't lecture, he seeks to understand

Revisado: 11-13-23

Smith comes at the topic of slavery to understand its lasting marks, on the descendants of those enslaved as well as to understand the perspective of the descendants of the enslaved. he has the rare gift of being able to genuinely seek out an understanding of how those with whom he fundamentally disagrees arrived at their position. i have been changed for the better by reading this book.

You will have to commit to the series...

Revisado: 09-19-22

The story and characters are good and it is an excellent mystery. However, know before you start that you will have to buy the next one as no party of this story is wrapped up or explained by the end of the book.

really interesting

Revisado: 08-08-22

such an important historical look. I thought it got a little messy in the second to last and definitely the discussion of MOVE was the most interesting. I want to understand better what it was and how it had evolved.

Too much

Revisado: 07-02-22

I wanted to enjoy this book more as I love knitting. but it seemed too predictable and kept trying to outdo itself with heartbreaking stories of loss.

Enjoyable easy listening

Revisado: 04-09-22

Really followed, just the right length and a good tale. The narration was spot on. This isn't a game changing book or narration; it is solid storytelling.

Enjoyable story & shows romance as socially aware

Revisado: 05-11-21

I like that the author does a different take on a classic, making it more current. Was not a fan of the narrator who pronounced some of the words incorrectly and bordered on whining way too often. Solid story and well told. The writing isn't anywhere near the level of Austen but the story is.

Desperately seeking an editor

Revisado: 07-25-18

The basic plot is an exciting adventure. But a couple of totally unbelievable plot twists (would such smart people really be duped into ANOTHER trap??) and then way too much of brown lecturing on ancient symbols using the pretense of people lecturing to Langdon. Plus at what should be the end, characters who have been battered, tortured and mutilated choose to have a cozy chat about How The Universe Works so Brown can lecture some more. EDITOR WHERE WERE YOU WHEN WE NEEDED YOU?
