So good!!!! Listen to it. Dominic Hoffman did an outstanding job. I'm glad I read Huck Finn before this, but you don't have to. It's amazing!!!

James is more than a retelling of “Huck Finn”.  James is a novel that takes the reader into a world deeper and more complex than Huck’s story. Wow! My head is still spinning

Such a profound and insightful book! This changed my perspective in so many ways and helped me to recognize in some small measure my privilege.
