![]() At times, I thought it might me a young adult audience, while at other times I thought it might be the older adult who has “been there, done that”. I am not sure which audience the author wrote this for. I guess the message was that it doesn’t always pay to go back and try to relive the past because, sooner or later, reality smacks you in the face, and you see things are really not very different. ![]() In addition, I wondered about some of the band members actions, which were pretty juvenile, to say the least. ![]() The book is written well enough, just not very exciting. The story involves a now defunct band, who get one last chance to rave the country, playing music as they earlier did. ![]() I did not really hold my interest very well, and I found myself, more often than not, hoping I was near the end. Just like the title, I was listless as I read this book. This review was written for LibraryThing Member Giveaways.I received this book from Library Thing to read and review. ![]()

It's timed to honor both Walker's 70th birthday, which takes place on Sunday, and Black History Month.ĭirected by Pratibha Parmar, the documentary tells the story of an author who's tackled some of the toughest topics a writer can: racism, sexism, class and economic inequalities, as well as female genital mutilation.
