Black Out

The Negus Series

De: Bien-Aime Wenda

Narrado por: Sheryl Mebane

With racial tension dividing a small Mississippi town, what happens when one by one, white residents awaken to find themselves with skin pigmentation as dark as those they despise?

In the small town of St. Molasses, Mississippi, the town was so small, there was only one library, one school, one pharmacy, and only one major grocery store. If one wished to visit a museum, shopping mall, night club, or movie theater, they’d have to travel a couple miles over to the city of Marmalade to do so. Like most small rural towns, everybody knew everybody. Depending on what you were up to, that could either be a good thing or a bad thing. They knew whose little boy or little girl every child belonged to, whether he was white or colored. Which would explain why Freddie, a black visitor, had been receiving odd looks ever since his Plymouth Fury had overheated right in front of the city sign of St. Molasses. Little did the racially charged town know what was in store for them.

The beloved siblings Rosa and Frederick, from the Negus series, make an appearance in this sci-fi tale.

Great story

I dont usually leave reviews but this book earned it. Its a very interesting story and take on racism with a slight twist. This is a very well told story and of a insight how this are.

Great story

I found the story to be engaging and thought provoking. I've grown to being a fan of the series!

Eye opening and heart throbbing

Eye opening this story has given a new meaning to racism and walking a mile in others shoes shows that you should be respecting those and understanding those of a different nationality one of the best storylines I've ever come across it kept me interested from the beginning to the end started out with a bang and ended with a kaboom
As far as the narrative i feel she could be a little more exciting at times instead of almost every character having the same oomph but overall she did a good job

I give the overall of the story and narrative a 7 out of 5

wow

this book was really good great narraration as well. the ending seemed slightly rushed though. but overall a good read.

A+

I have never read or listened to a book like this before. it was definitely a stretch for me . but I have to say that it was most definitely a good read, I am at awe. I would have to say that what made this book exceptional was the narrator; she did an awesome job with the accents and the voice changes. it really helped me to keep up with all of the many characters in this book. kudos to the author and Miss Sheryl Mebane.

Loved it

interesting view on racism and what it would take for some people to see the other side of the spectrum. I'd like to read more. good story tho. I was well entertained

Movie Screenplay

I loved this story. The concept was great. I would love to see this made into a movie. I read the whole book in one sitting. I couldnt walk away from it. Very good story!

this book was so dang it good...

I literally can not quit talking about this book. The narration was amazing and the story was so compelling I really didn't want to end. In fact I am looking for another story similar to this one as we speak.

What I’ve wished for

The premise of a way to make whites a are of the racism & systemic racism that they permeate upon black people, the hat they draw now want for themselves

OMG...my ears

I really wanted to like it. My mother LOVED it. I tried and the narration made it impossible.
