A Day Late and a Dollar Short Audiobook

" Even if this is not your family, the characters in this book will remind you of somebody. "

" Good to listen to because of the dialects. Well defined characters, but I didn't enjoy them all, so I found myself getting tense when certain characters were speaking. Somewhat predictable, but enjoyable to listen to. "

" This book didn't get a lot of love, but I enjoyed it nonetheless because Ms. McMillan has such a biting kind of humor. She also has a "cultural" humor so if you are not African American, you might miss out on a few nuances that are actually hillarious. As for the family dynamics, she nailed it. Who doesn't some level of this dynamic right in their own backyards? Come on...tell the truth, shame the devil! (smile) "
