    Story
    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    Definitely


    What other book might you compare Eviction Notice to and why?

    Welfare Wifeys.. I loved that book and the narrator


    Which scene was your favorite?

    My favorite scene is when Animal came for Gucci at the hospital


    Was there a moment in the book that particular moved you?

    The hospital scene. I was in tears


    Any additional comments?

    Cary Hite is an excellent narrator for hood rat novels. I enjoyed his characters and sound effects.

    I really liked this book. The ending had me anxious to get to book 2. But the next 2 books should be free because they do not meet the standards of book 1.

    Story
    Would you try another book from Toni Morrison and/or Toni Morrison?

    Yes


    Would you ever listen to anything by Toni Morrison again?

    Probably


    Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Toni Morrison?

    There are several others I'd consider


    You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

    Not sure because I didn't finish it


    Any additional comments?

    Toni should probably stick to writing because I thought her narration was poorly done. I have over 60 books and she didn't bring the characters to life. I just could not get into the book.

  • A Woman's Work: Street Chronicles

    "Great Authors - Very BAD Short Stories"

    Overall
    Performance
    Story
    What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

    The story lines were not good to me, very unrealistic


    Has A Woman's Work: Street Chronicles turned you off from other books in this genre?

    NOT AT ALL


    Who would you have cast as narrator instead of the narrators?

    No, I like variety


    If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from A Woman's Work: Street Chronicles?

    Probably all of them

  • "Mystery + Atmosphere = A Definite W..."

    33 of 34 helpful votes

    "For a lot of people .... it's complicated," says Caren Grey, a Southern African-American woman who manages the sugar plantation in Louisiana where her ancestors were slaves and then free laborers. For years, the place has been a living-history museum, complete with slave quarters and school tours and Gone-with-the-Wind weddings.

    The fields are still worked, mostly by Latinos (some illegal) employed by a giant agribusiness, and one of these laborers has been murdered in the sugarcane. There are family problems, racial realities, and political shenanigans (all with historical context) that Caren must deal with in trying to figure out the layers of this mystery in the present and another death (parallel in several ways) that emerges from the distant past.

    The suspense is palpable -- sometimes even spooky -- as is the sense of geographical and historical atmosphere. The characters live and breathe, and I cared greatly about their outcomes. Despite a somewhat improbable ending to this puzzle, I think Locke is a very promising young author, and I look forward to more from her. The narrator is just perfect for this listen.

    I found "The Cutting Season" to be an entertaining and often moving look into the main character's (and all of our) very complicated relationship with America's past and present and the changes which inevitably come.

    Caren Gray manages Belle Vie, a sprawling antebellum plantation that sits between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, where the past and the present coexist uneasily. The estate's owners have turned the place into an eerie tourist attraction, complete with full-dress re-enactments and carefully restored slave quarters. Outside the gates, a corporation with ambitious plans has been busy snapping up land from struggling families who have been growing sugar cane for generations, and now replacing local employees with illegal laborers. Tensions mount when the body of a female migrant worker is found in a shallow grave on the edge of the property.

    Aminata Diallo is the beguiling heroine of Lawrence Hill's Someone Knows My Name. In it, Hill exquisitely imagines the tale of an 18th-century woman's life, spanning six decades and three continents. The fascinating story that Hill tells is a work of the soul and the imagination. Aminata is a character who will stir listeners, from her kidnapping from Africa through her journeys back and forth across the ocean.
