A review by thebookkeepers
Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates

challenging emotional reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

I started this on an ebook and had a harder time getting into the book, but when I switched to audio I was completely captivated. The author narrates the audiobook and his voice inflection and cadence add so much to the overall experience. This was a vulnerable look into a private conversation he wrote to his 15-year-old son explaining his self-discovery, realizations, and lessons about what it means to be a Black man in the world. The writing style felt like that of poetry when I was listening. It isn't an easy read, emotionally, but one that will stay with me.
