A review by bookishplantmom
Black Leopard, Red Wolf by Marlon James

Did not finish book.
I decided to give this a try but two things happened early on in my reading. 1: I did not like the way the audiobook is narrated (cadence, tone) and 2: it’s the rampant sexual violence for me. I should have checked trigger warnings and recommend people do so for sure. I looked at other reviews before making my decision to dnf and it seems issue number 2 continues throughout and I simply don’t have it in me to sit through hundreds of pages (20+ hours of audio) filled with repeated instances of horrific violence. Especially given that it seems much of it is gratuitous and unrelated to the plot (based on reviews I’ve read).
