Review # 1 was written on 2014-09-26 00:00:00 Rhonda Adams Six stars for the text. This should be required study for every American. The lack of these attributes in all of us today has done no good. Take the description of the ethnic group to be your own and go from there. Mr. Sartor's Librivox reading gets 4 to 5 stars once you get past the british accent. Booker T. in a british accent is a bit difficult to get your mind around. It really is an excellent reading though... until... he tries to 'sing' the old gospel melodies late in the book. The renditions of the songs are so wrong they come off as almost insulting, though I doubt he meant it that way.
