this is full on theater, not a mere narration. before the second chapter ended i was already in tears. i haven't heard any other audiobook with more character and soul woven into every line.

A beautiful book. I’ve just finished listening and will start again :)

Ruby Dee is phenomenal. She brings this beautiful, poignant book to life in a completely engrossing way. Loved it.

Terrific job of reading the characters’ voices and dialects. Ruby Dee is amazing!

Amazing.

overall story was good, there were a few parts that lost my attention. Can be a bit hard to understand, with older phrases, styles, and such.

Ruby Dee's reading is perfection! Once you're plugged into the story, you forget... though there are many voices, there is only ONE person who is speaking! Superb! Of course the text is legend.

Listening to this book was better than watching the movie! The great Ruby Dee did an outstanding job!!

Ruby Dee was incredible in the narration. Her ability to change voices and read with enthusiasm.

Zola’s writing is wonderfully descriptive and Ruby Dee’s narration was absolutely amazing. She didn’t just read this, she PERFORMED it. What a talented woman she was! Really enjoyed listening to this.

The narrator was incredible! She really brought the book to life.
