Critic Reviews

“These characters leap off the page …” ( Lutishia Lovely)

Nice Surprise!!

I didnt know what to expect from this author, but Im glad I gave this book a chance because I enjoyed it so much, loved the twist and turns. Great book all the way through!!

So So

Would you try another book from Sasha Campbell and/or Jennifer Kidwell and Simi Howe ?

I would only try another book if I was out of anything else good to read and it was cheap

What do you think your next listen will be?

Consequences

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Jennifer Kidwell and Simi Howe ?

Someone other than a Yale /Harvard theater major, trying to sound urban

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment. Everything about this book was a cliché. I was have why though the book and I already knew the ended, better yet I knew exactly what was going to happen next before the next chapter. Do not get me wrong it was an OK read if you're in to Love and Hip Hop Atlanta or the Housewives of Atlanta, but I have read much better Urban novels. Just hated the fact that everything about the characters were a stereotype like the man in the club with the gold tooth button down shirt and "nappy" hairy chest hair. Immediately this brought to mind a character from the Martin Lawrence show from back in the days or the brother name Cool aid (really!?). There were losts of rolling my eyes moment while listening to this book. And please do not get me started on the performances or should I say the narrator. They were so “proper” that when they tried to sound urban or “street” it just came across awkward. Over all I just was not feeling it.

I love this book

I need friends like Trinette and Nikki!!! awesome listen!! I love the story line. hell I know a real live Kenyan lol...

ENJOYED IT!!!!

At first I was worried..but after I continued to listen, the more I got into it. I would highly recommend this book.

I enjoy this author's writing

there were some twists and turns a few that were very unexpected and I enjoyed them all. the author does a great job with character development. I'm looking forward to listening to the next book in the series I also like the readers for both characters.

Be true yourself

Everyday life. The grass isn't always greener on the other side so enjoy what you have

Very Good Story

What made the experience of listening to Confessions the most enjoyable?

the suspense ws great...narrators did a good job helping me follow along.....

What other book might you compare Confessions to and why?

N/A

Have you listened to any of Jennifer Kidwell and Simi Howe ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

First time

Who was the most memorable character of Confessions and why?

Nikki...she had it together.....Netta was also great

Not listenable

Would you try another book from Sasha Campbell and/or Jennifer Kidwell and Simi Howe ?

Not if it was a similar attempt to distort the English language. The dialogue was an overt attempt to present ghetto- like circumstances but did not enhance the story.

Would you ever listen to anything by Sasha Campbell again?

No.

What didn’t you like about Jennifer Kidwell and Simi Howe ’s performance?

I'm not sure if they were intolerable or the dialogue made them sound that way.

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

I can't say.

TERRIBLE!!!!!

Would you try another book from Sasha Campbell and/or Jennifer Kidwell and Simi Howe ?

No this was awful.

Has Confessions turned you off from other books in this genre?

No, I love Nora Roberts, Sandra Brown, and Danielle Steele; This was nothing like those. It was all about what car this woman drove, and what brands of clothing she had on. It wasn't about romance it was about status. The language was all slang and left something to be desired. There is a quote :I walk around like my shit don't stink, because it don't." It was ridiculous.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Jennifer Kidwell and Simi Howe ?

No one, because no one should ever have to listen to this book.

What character would you cut from Confessions?

All of them.

Any additional comments?

Not worth the money.
