Joplin's Ghost Audiobook

" An excellent read combining the paranormal with romance, jazz and hip hop music, and history. It's never boring. "

" Great book, but a little lengthy. Good character development. Really enjoyed the relationship between Phoenix and Carlos, as well as the one with her father. "

" I think this was an ambitious undertaking to link the spirit of Scott Joplin and his unfulfilled dreams to a young, 21st century R&B singer. I love reading about history so I loved the way the story moves from Joplin's time to current day. But overall, I did not understand it. One of my bookclub members had to explain certain parts to me. There is a scene where the main character is making love to her boyfriend and somehow Joplin's ghost gets involved in this encounter. That was too confusing for me. "

" I am a longtime Scott Joplin fan, and enjoyed this spooky look at what it might be like to have been touched (if only for a moment) by his genius and his pain. Solid writing. "

" As a vocalist and music lover, I have a great appreciation for the story line in this novel. Due tells a colorful story of love. From the love of musical performance to the undying love between soul mates. It is also rich with actual historical facts about Joplin! A good read "

" Do not remember what happen in this book. It has been a long time since I read it. However, the note I wrote in the book said that it was good. Therefore, I guess I will rate it as so. "

" I loved this book. Haunting, chilling ghost story, romantic love story and rich musical history details. First few pages went slower for me, but I was enraptured by it. Look forward to reading it again. (Gift from my friend Mike, thanks, Mike!) "

" This book is fantastic! It scared the living day lights out of me though. "

" Love, love, love this book! I do admit that I was uneducated when it came to Scott Joplin, but I feel that I have learned so much of his history as well as enjoyed a wonderfully written story. I had to listen to Joplin's music after reading this! "

" Storyline was interesting, but the dour inflections toward black history and culture made me sick. "

" Very, very good...plus phoebe returns in the blood colony series, DELIGHTFUL! "

" She has the nack for rumbling in her books, that is the reason for the 4 stars. But I really enjoy her books. "

" Love it!!! My favorite book... "

" Rich in history!! This story weaves the life of Scott Joplin with the life of a contemporary R&B artist called Pheonix. This story will keep history buffs, romantics, and suspense seekers reading. Tananarive Due consistently keeps my mind open as a reader. "

" Loved it. More to come. "

" Amazing! I could sing Ms. Due's praises all day and all night. She is a phenomenal writer. "

" Due's The Good House and The Living Blood were much better in my opinion, but she is an excellent writer so I was equally absorbed by the parallel stories in this novel. What sticks in my mind the most is the scene in the opium den...whoa. "

" This book was interesting, somewhat fiction somewhat truth. It actually introduced me to a new genre of music. "

" I was scared. But was a very good read and historic facts were excellent "

" I enjoy this author. She weaves a great spooky tale. Read it. It's good. "

" heheh, a sexy encounter with the ghost of Scott Joplin.... what the???? and how did I come to read this? I forget. "

" Amazing! I could sing Ms. Due's praises all day and all night. She is a phenomenal writer. "

" I enjoyed reading this book but I found it to be very slowin building up to the plot. I enjoyed how the author was able to weave two different musical genres into a situation that was prove to be entertaining and educational. "
