Specifically reviewed for "Black Betty" by Nisi Shawl as read on Levar Burton Reads.

Overall, I thought it was okay. This is a short story about a dog dealing with racism and "pack-identity." I wish modern writers didn't feel the need to insert foul language because this would've been a hit otherwise. Can't recommend because of that.

Black Betty - Nisi Shawl

tawallah's review

Nisi Shawl writes an intriguing tale using Betty, a non human protagonist who learns to understand human quirks and life in general. It is not a light fluffy tale as it shifts its tone to deal with racism and being different can be treated by others. Well read by Levar Burton.
