The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat by Edward Kelsey
Moore, narrated by, Adenrele Ojo & Pamella D'Pella
From Library2Go
Length 12 hrs and 25 mins
This was an
interesting story it had me laughing at times and crying at others. These 3 women,
friends since they were teens have gone through a lot, each dealing with their circumstances
in their own way, yet knowing that the other women were there for them no
matter what. I loved Odette she handled her circumstance gracefully and I loved
her ghosts, which included her pot smoking mama and a drunken Mrs. Roosevelt
these scenes had me laughing hard. Barbara Jean was a sad case but I loved
seeing her grow throughout the book into a much stronger woman than she had
been. Clarice has a philandering husband and finally gets up the guts to leave
him but the consequences and outcome of that makes for a very interesting story
too.
I enjoyed this book I think it’s a good one if you are a fan
of southern fiction, or friendship stories. What is shocking is that this book
is written by a man because he nailed these friendships and the women’s “voices”
which isn’t easy for a male author to do and he does it very well. Also for a
first novel this book is very well written I look forward to another book by
this author, I think he is a rising star!
This was well narrated by, Adenrele Ojo & Pamella
D'Pella but, I am still wondering what the reasoning was in having 2 narrators,
these two narrators have very similar voices and I can honestly say I wasn’t
sure when they switched back and forth. Don’t get me wrong the narration was
good but I think one narrator would have been sufficient. I would probably
listen to more from these two narrators though I can’t tell them apart even
after finishing this book.
