I’m 1/4 through the new Maze Runner book (Crank Palace) and here are my thoughts

These are my thoughts in order of events. I wrote them while listening to the audiobook. They’re interesting, for sure. SPOILERS obviously.

MUST YOU BREAK MY HEART LIKE THIS SIR??? Only calling him 'Tommy'. Damn I'm crying.

Memories?!?!?!?

I'm seeing a lot of parent/child stuff here...

Aaaaahhh poor boy

Also did Newt write the Maze Runner? Or at least this one?

This book is somehow relatable and it's scary.

lmao they're monster trucks

L A Z E R G U N S (stun guns?)

Newt's just like 'whelp bye I guess'

done got S P O O K E D

again with the parent/child thing!

yes adopt him immediately

oh look the title of the book

this woman's gonna claim this child as her own

'un-take-careable' beautiful

don't mind his cluelessness he's new here

Already making friends huh.

How tf did he get out of shape he's been on the run for a long long time

well he didn't exactly go to school

I mean valid question

'We might've been drunk' bruh

everyone likes Newt

WHAT

Aren't you guys in danger?

Dead means DEAD you moron

look what you did you made her cry

RIP Dante's brother

an HOUR?

fair enough

AH DON'T BRING UP CHUCK MY HEARTS ALREADY BROKEN

This is like a constant loop of "I'm sorry" "No I'm sorry"

BRUH YOU CAN'T JUST MENTION THAT YOU LEFT A NOTE TO YOUR FRIEND ASKING HIM TO KILL YOU THATS NOT SOMETHING YOU CAN SAY CASUALLY

i mean what's the worst that could happen if you told her

damn done got told

YES ADOPT HIM he his now your child

all I can think of his that one vine (Mrs Keisha? Mrs Keisha!) i just hope we dont get to the 'omg she dead'

uh oh

zippy zappy

I THROW MY HANDS UP IN THE AIR SOME TIMES SAYING UUUUUUUUHHHHH OOOOOHHHHHH YOU'RE IN TROUUUUUUUUUBLLLLLLEEEEE

the noise of a feral mother

keisha's a fucking badass

WHERE THE HELL'D SHE GET A FUCKING REVOLVER?

nO KEISHA!!!

and the bEby

NEWT DO SOMETHIN

ah yes, the mother instincts of the Glade Parent

I mean I'd be afraid too if a random teenager attacked me with that much anger

ooohh ya killed him

adrenaline's a hell of a drug I'll tell you that

F E R A L C H I L D

oh gOD nO

It's called motion sickness

aww they kept the fam together

at least they're somewhat gentle with the child?

Newt is a parent no one can tell me otherwise

God the slow fall to insanity is gonna kill me innit?

stop reminding me of the inevitability of death

I somehow forgot about WICKED

sHuT yOuR mOuTh Or GeT dOuSeD

or get doused anyways

"Hope the kid's okay" YOU SPRAYED HIM WITH A FIRE HOSE?!?!

aww family hug

WAIT WILL WE GET TO KNOW HIS NAME FINALLY BY THE END OF THE BOOK??? damn i hope

YO SHE JUST CALLED NEWT HER CHILD IM CRYING

gonna draw art of this beautiful fam

wait if he still has the journal how the fuck isn't it soaked

probably not cause you had a little sister

okay bye lol

Keisha stahp

ooohh no. fucking Ava or Teresa or some bitch like that is keepin tabs on Newt.

Is he gay? 'Cause I think they're referencing Teresa here but why he so bitter? Like I know she's a traitor but he seemed to at least partially forgiver her? If anything he was angry. But if he had a thing for Tommy and he was JEALOUS.... perhaps.

Sing, Unburied, Sing: A Novel Audiobook

[Audio Books] Sing, Unburied, Sing: A Novel Audiobook by Jesmyn Ward

WINNER of the NATIONAL BOOK AWARD and A NEW YORK TIMES TOP 10 BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR A finalist for the Kirkus Prize, Andrew Carnegie Medal, Aspen Words Literary Prize, and a New York Times bestseller, this majestic, stirring, and widely praised novel from two-time National Book Award winner Jesmyn Ward, the story of a family on a journey through rural Mississippi, is a “tour de force” (O, The Oprah Magazine) and a timeless work of fiction that is destined to become a classic.

Jesmyn Ward’s historic second National Book Award–winner is “perfectly poised for the moment” (The New York Times), an intimate portrait of three generations of a family and an epic tale of hope and struggle. “Ward’s writing throbs with life, grief, and love… this book is the kind that makes you ache to return to it” (Buzzfeed). Jojo is thirteen years old and trying to understand what it means to be a man. He doesn’t lack in fathers to study, chief among them his Black grandfather, Pop. But there are other men who complicate his understanding: his absent White father, Michael, who is being released from prison; his absent White grandfather, Big Joseph, who won’t acknowledge his existence; and the memories of his dead uncle, Given, who died as a teenager. His mother, Leonie, is an inconsistent presence in his and his toddler sister’s lives. She is an imperfect mother in constant conflict with herself and those around her. She is Black and her children’s father is White. She wants to be a better mother but can’t put her children above her own needs, especially her drug use. Simultaneously tormented and comforted by visions of her dead brother, which only come to her when she’s high, Leonie is embattled in ways that reflect the brutal reality of her circumstances. When the children’s father is released from prison, Leonie packs her kids and a friend into her car and drives north to the heart of Mississippi and Parchman Farm, the State Penitentiary. At Parchman, there is another thirteen-year-old boy, the ghost of a dead inmate who carries all of the ugly history of the South with him in his wandering. He too has something to teach Jojo about fathers and sons, about legacies, about violence, about love. Rich with Ward’s distinctive, lyrical language, Sing, Unburied, Sing is a majestic and unforgettable family story and “an odyssey through rural Mississippi’s past and present” (The Philadelphia Inquirer).

The voices we so believable as the actual characters that I kept forgetting I was listening to a novel. The lives of the characters are tragic and yet told with such empathy. I miss those characters. I hope there is a book two or a movie.

This book was personal and Soulful and intimate and devastating and uplifting. The narration was excruciatingly beautiful. Its tragic , its sweet , it's infuriating and justifying. I just loved it absolutely loved it.... I miss the book already.....

Meka M

Awesome! This book is almost too good for words. The authors words combined with the narrators' talent made me zone out of everything around me and become one with the story. This was my first audio book and what a truly incredible experience it was!

The only thing that I did not like about this book is it was over to soon...

Melodie S.

Could not stop listening to this book! I felt so sorry for the children and was compelled to listen to chapters over just to hear the narration over again.

Rating: 5

Danielle D

Loved the reading of this book. I could listen to Rutina Wesley read all day. I was sucked into the story by the characters. It was interesting the way time gets bent a bit in this book. I'm transplanted in rural south of the past. Actual history was interwoven into the story to give a glimpse of what it was like at Parchman, which I just learned is a real place. I like the analogy of dealing with ghosts from the past. The thing I loved most is the author's ability to bring me into a moment and make me feel every bit of it.

The female narrator was terrible. Over the top angry and dramatic. Content of book was great.
