A review by rballenger
Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward
3.0
Type of read: Commuter (listened to on the way to and from work).
What made me pick it up: Suggested read in my library audiobook app.
Overall rating: I knew nothing about this book when I picked it up. I borrowed it from my library based on the recommendation after some of my previous reads and I really liked the cover art. I liked the poetic nature of the book. I also enjoyed hearing the story from the various perspectives. Overall, this was a good read and honestly, one I would probably read again. I feel like you'd find something new each time you open the pages.
Reader's note (personal preference): I read this book via audiobook and found the narration for Leonie to be extremely low and soft. It was a soothing, calm voice - which fit the character - but going from Jojo's narration to Leonie's, I found myself always playing with the volume knob. It might just be my ears...but it was enough to be the smallest bit annoying. If I read it again, I'd read the printed book to see if I got more out of it.
