Burn Down, Rise Up di Vincent Tirado
*3.5
Narrated by Julienne Irons. Author, how many times do you really need to mention oozing black rot? We get it, we get it, it's everywhere! Aside from that, tying in the 1970s decline of the Bronx and its burning buildings to a horror narrative makes an interesting premise but I lost interest...because of all the oozing black rot!!!
DNF at 70%. I love the premise of the story, and really tried to stick through to the end, but the writing just wasn't doing it for me. A good audiobook makes me look forward to my time on the elliptical (or at least not dread it), and let's just say I had trouble dragging my ass to the basement for a workout these past few days. I especially hated the narration; Irons has a super-gross and creepy way of saying "mommy" that had my cringing. And her males voices are the worst.
It takes a while for the real reason nobody swims to surface (no pun intended), but you're caught pretty quickly in this story that blends the supernatural with the ugly effects of small town racism. The supposedly evil spirit becomes a most sympathetic character as you follow along while Bronwyn uncovers what is hidden underneath the rigid rules passed from one generation to the next. There are easily liked characters, but they seem, at times, to be outnumbered by hateful ones. I found is a fast and satisfying read.… (altro)
