Nate Shaw's father was born into slavery. Nate was born into a bondage that was only a little gentler. At the age of nine, he was picking cotton and plowing behind a mule. At the age of 47, he faced down a crowd of White deputies who had come to confiscate a neighbor's livestock. His defiance cost him 12 years in prison.This triumphant autobiography, All God's Dangers, assembled from the 84-year-old Shaw's oral reminiscences, is the plainspoken story of an "over average" man who witnessed momentous changes in the lives of Southern people, Black and White, and whose unassuming courage helped bring those changes about.

It took a little while to get used to the deep southern accent used in the narration but the book was well worth the effort.

Very educational and enjoyable.

The stories are wonderful in understanding what it was truly lie between blacks and whites during the first half of the 20th century. While the audiobook narrator reads the book with an authentic accent can make it hard to listen too. However, give the book time and it honestly makes the book way more enjoyable. An excellent read!

A Extensive History From a Simple Sharecrooper

The decision to offer a version of spoken authenticity rather than comprehensibility has frustrated this listener. I am grateful that audible tried but I give up....will enjoy the print version.
I am defeated.

Maybe a translated version could be offered.

The narration is done in character with a thick, incomprehensible accent and affect. I would prefer that narrator let the words speak for themselves and save the acting for another venue. In the book, the author notes: "I have not reproduced a southern or black dialect because I did not hear it. I did hear the English language as I know it, spoken with regional inflection and grammar." Unlike this narration, the book is wonderfully comprehensible.

Incomprehensible narration

This narration is not listenable. I am looking forward to reading the book. The author took plains to state in his introduction that he did not write the story in dialect because his subject spoke standard American English. Why oh why would the narrator choose a voice that was exaggerated to the point of caricature. How is anyone supposed to listen to that voice for 22 hours. I am sorry to have to return this book. I look forward to reading the authors words as written.

Awful narration
