Disappointing

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

I have listened to other books with similar themes but find this very disappointing.


What could Alice Walker have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Not sure.


How did the narrator detract from the book?

Perhaps a different narrator would provide better expression than the author did.

Very moving

Would you consider the audio edition of The Color Purple to be better than the print version?

This is one of those audiobooks that was a joy to listen to. I can't imagine that Alice Walker's words on the page could match those same words straight from her heart.


What does Alice Walker bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Staggering emotion. Lovely.
