A review by lauraborkpower
Another Country by James Baldwin

Did not finish book.

I'm putting this one down, too. It's not at all a bad book--in fact, in many ways, it's an excellent book. But it's slowly paced and character driven, and once I stopped listening for a while I couldn't really get back into it. I knew I was done for when I got really, really excited that I only had an hour left in the audiobook, and then I realized that I was only finished with part one and had another six hours to go. I just couldn't do it. I actually think that the prolonged love scene between Ida and Vivaldo really did me in. For the love of god, Baldwin, enough is enough. She's beautiful. And twenty minutes later, she's still beautiful. And I'm just bored.

I'm sure that someday I will pick this up in a hard copy and finish it. But not anytime soon.
