Acerca de esta escucha
Living in St. Jude, a 110-year-old dying city on the edge of the Mississippi, is tough. But when a letter informs 14-year-old Cinque Williams of the passing of the father he never met, he is faced with an incomplete past and an uncertain future. A curse meant for his father condemns Cinque to a slow death even as it opens his eyes to the strange otherworld around him. With help from the ghost Willy T, an enigmatic White Woman named Iku, an African Loa, and a devious shape-shifter, Cinque gathers the tools to confront the ghost of his dead father. But he will learn that sometimes too much knowledge can be dangerous - and the people he trusts most are those poised to betray him.

In 1972, when workers in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, were digging the foundations for a new development, the last thing they expected to find was a skeleton at the bottom of a well. Who the skeleton was and how it got there were two of the long-held secrets kept by the residents of Chicken Hill, the dilapidated neighborhood where immigrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side and shared ambitions and sorrows. Chicken Hill was where Moshe and Chona Ludlow lived when Moshe integrated his theater and where Chona ran the Heaven & Earth Grocery Store.

In September 1969, a fumbling, cranky old church deacon known as Sportcoat shuffles into the courtyard of the Cause Houses housing project in south Brooklyn, pulls a .38 from his pocket, and, in front of everybody, shoots the project's drug dealer at point-blank range. The reasons for this desperate burst of violence and the consequences that spring from it lie at the heart of Deacon King Kong, James McBride's funny, moving novel and his first since his National Book Award-winning The Good Lord Bird.

Ike Randolph has been out of jail for fifteen years, with not so much as a speeding ticket in all that time. But a Black man with cops at the door knows to be afraid. The last thing he expects to hear is that his son Isiah has been murdered, along with Isiah’s white husband, Derek. Ike had never fully accepted his son but is devastated by his loss. Derek’s father Buddy Lee was almost as ashamed of Derek for being gay as Derek was ashamed his father was a criminal. Buddy Lee still has contacts in the underworld, though, and he wants to know who killed his boy.

Ok for the price
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Yes. It gave me a look into a different culture's mythologies.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
The ending was ok. The author could have taken it out a little further. There were some questions left unanswered.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Brandon Massey?
I don't know, since I am new to audio books.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
no.
Any additional comments?
In my opinion, the narrator was very good while "in character". However, when reading the general parts of the book, he sounded like a middle school student who was uncomfortable reading aloud to the rest of the class.

Not what I expected
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
I bought this book because it received 5 stars form everyone else that rated it, but I hated it, and listened to it on FF so I could get through it.
Would you ever listen to anything by Tone Milazzo again?
Probably not

First time I couldn't finish
Would you ever listen to anything by Tone Milazzo again?
Doubt it.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Very flat. I had just finished listening to "Mother Night", which had the best narrative performance so far, so perhaps my expectations were high.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
No.
Any additional comments?
First time I've contemplated a refund.
