a litte too much tug of war with the sexual tension
Reviewed: 01-22-24
I liked the humor and the gorey bits and the female and male voices. I wish they ware more descriptive regarding the horror. a little too much push and pull with the many sex scenes.

Story
Kiese Laymon is a fearless writer. In his essays, personal stories combine with piercing intellect to reflect both on the state of American society and on his experiences with abuse, which conjure conflicted feelings of shame, joy, confusion, and humiliation. Laymon invites us to consider the consequences of growing up in a nation wholly obsessed with progress yet wholly disinterested in the messy work of reckoning with where we’ve been.

every book I listen to where any black American experiences blatant racism, I feel so stupid for not being a better human being and not doing my part to stop the continual BS that ignorant white people cast upon our darker skinned brothers and sisters.

Story
After Tova Sullivan’s husband died, she began working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, mopping floors and tidying up. Keeping busy has always helped her cope, which she’s been doing since her eighteen-year-old son, Erik, mysteriously vanished on a boat in Puget Sound over thirty years ago. Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus knows more than anyone can imagine but wouldn’t dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors—until he forms a remarkable friendship with Tova.

I'm 54 and a HUGE fan of murder mysteries. The bloodier, the better.
however, this book is not that at all. Stick with it. It's a great listen. It left me with a happy heart.

Story
It was supposed to be a harmless camping trip. Six wayward teenagers who'd run into trouble with the law, and their court-appointed guardians, Sara and Martin Randhurst. Three nights on a small, deserted island off of Michigan's upper peninsula. A time to bond, to learn, to heal. Then Martin told a campfire story about the island's history. Of the old civil war prison hidden in there, and the starving confederate soldiers who resorted to cannibalism to stay alive. Everyone thought it was funny. They even laughed when Martin pretended to be dragged off into the woods.

This book and story was so bad!!!
I listened all the way through but it was torture. Poorly written, terrible story line. I like a good murder mystery but this was silly, rushed gore.
So dumb.

Story
In 1518, in a small town in Alsace, Frau Troffea began dancing and didn't stop. She danced until she was carried away six days later, and soon 34 more villagers joined her. Then more. In a month more than 400 people had been stricken by the mysterious dancing plague. In late-19th-century England an eccentric gentleman founded the No Nose Club in his gracious townhome - a social club for those who had lost their noses, and other body parts, to the plague of syphilis for which there was then no cure.

The last thing I would call this book is dry or depressing. Although, the subject matter can be very sad, the writer and narrator bring the book to life with humor. I loved it and I Think I’ll listen to it again!

I love a good murder mystery and a well written one doesn’t need to be too gory or disgusting. The woman who read the story was amazing. She read as comfortably with each character and with a natural cadence in her voices. The story itself was pretty good. I’m glad there’s a sequel and I’m anxious to get to it.

One of The females that reads for some of the female characters in the book, spoke almost robotically. It was distracting and made the characters seem unbelievable. The story was just OK.
