A review by msmarlena
The Salt Eaters by Toni Cade Bambara
Did not finish book.
This was actually the Audible audiobook, 11hr 25min long, narrated by Mia Ellis.
I made it 2hr 20min at .95x speed before I gave up.
Narrator reads every single sentence with the same unnatural cadence, a rhythm so monotonous that I had to rewind over and over to absorb what was said. Absolutely unlistenable.
Which is a shame because what bits of the story I retained seemed brilliant. I might try the digital version at some point.
