There were many hints of things going on behind the scenes that Emma was helping with that Glory wasn't privy to but I wish those areas had been more central to the text. It was a good story so I enjoyed it but it did feel a little unbalanced.Chellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04506296443676360367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7533410326820379706.post-37891199765876150452012-03-25T16:26:40.221-05:002012-03-25T16:26:40.221-05:00Told you I'd be back :) I had mixed feelings a...Told you I'd be back :) I had mixed feelings about Glory Be... I think I was just expecting it to be a certain way, and was somewhat disappointed when there ended up being so LITTLE of Emma's voice, or any other African American person for that matter. I thought Scattergood nailed Glory's voice, but I guess I just felt like her story could have had so much more background information/depth.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10236275337479478234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7533410326820379706.post-73286617701498625542012-03-24T23:44:33.494-05:002012-03-24T23:44:33.494-05:00Thanks for the comments, ladies!Thanks for the comments, ladies!Chellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04506296443676360367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7533410326820379706.post-39238980607288183742012-03-22T16:29:07.289-05:002012-03-22T16:29:07.289-05:00Love this book and your lively review.Love this book and your lively review.Leslie Davis Guccionehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08381577955484991154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7533410326820379706.post-44117797337765697322012-03-11T06:50:37.486-05:002012-03-11T06:50:37.486-05:00Ok - did not even read your review b/c I have this...Ok - did not even read your review b/c I have this is my library bag right now and I want to read it first :) But this is seriously the first time I've seen Glory Be reviewed on a blog!
