Classic Octavia Butler

A compelling and satisfying end to the saga of Doro. I hope that you put all of Octavia Butler's books into audible, and I hope that you continue to use Robin Miles as the narrator. She is one of my favorite actresses on Audible to the point where I will select a book simply because she's reading it. and I'm always going to reach or listen to an Octavia Butler book.

I thought I was going to listen to a science fiction book about an interesting sub genre of people, those called the shadow riders. it wasn't my cup of tea. if you're into soft p*** you'll probably like it. they spent way too much time on the details. The main character of the book was so unsufferable in her low self-esteem that I almost gave up on her, but I wanted to see what would happen. the book could have probably been much shorter.

I've tried it with a virtual voice but I just can't. I wanted to give it the benefit of a dad and it's just not going to work for me.

I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. A compelling story of a madman created by human cruelty, and the mystery of life.

This book really brought to life the horrors that human beings can commit against one another. In so many different ways. There are so many warnings and lessons here about human behavior. The performances are all good, and the story was so engrossing that I was shocked when I looked up to realize I only had 4 minutes left in the story. I highly recommend.

I had I had a real hard time with the characters. There were literally no likable characters. Everybody had serious character flaws, so I found out that I couldn't root for anybody and therefore didn't really care about the outcome. It was mildly entertaining though.

I was enjoying you so much I didn't understand how quickly the time went by and was shocked when I was at the end! I recommend this. I love the anthology format and this was my perfect introduction to Joe Ledger.

Michael Harriet is able to deliver really horrifying material (which is actually just American history) with humor to take the sting out of it. You do yourself a favor and read this book.

Jada's story is a redemption song. She has overcome incredible odds. There are thousands of beautiful, talented actresses out there but add addict parents, poverty and clinical depression to the mix and the odds against success are tripled. She did it and did it her way. People are strange and hate non-conformity, and she has had to deal with it. People love to hate on this woman and yeah, that's one of the prices you pay for fame and fortune, but if I admired her before I admire her a thousand times more after hearing her memoir in her own voice. She is clever, complicated, curious, a seeker, a problem solver, a mother and a best friend. She has also attained the kind of wisdom that most people won't ever attain, speaking on things like forgiveness. I'm glad I took the time to hear this. She has done it her way. You GO girl. Besides all of that the book is very well written; surprisingly so. She adds affirmations that you can challenge yourself with or not. It's entertaining and insightful.

The bodice-ripping type of story is not my normal genre, so I'm not sure how I stumbled upon this book. Dialogue like "everything male within him responded to everything female within her" eventually made me give up on the book and skip to the end to find out who did it. If you enjoy this type of book you would probably love it.
