About this audiobook
A national best-selling author and founder of the TransAfrica forum, Randall Robinson is one of the most respected voices of the African-American community. In this powerful book, he convincingly argues that African Americans must fight the growing presence of modern prisons, which hold an alarmingly disproportionate number of black inmates.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5The description for this book is not for the audio book.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Dru is on the run, in a stolen car with her best friend Graves and Ash, who still isn't right. She heads for her grandmother's house to try to figure out what she's going to do next, how she's going to cope with the world and with the people trying to kill her. And as this is the last book in the series she deals with a lot of the issues, what disappointed me most about the book is how little I cared about anyone other than Graves and when I started to care about him he retreated to the background.Not the worst series I've read but I felt it's left open for the author to expand on it, the story arc is done but the characters are somewhat left hanging.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is the last book in St. Crow's Strange Angel series... I have to say it is a MUST for anyone who enjoys YA paranormal!!!... Dru is a strong, fiesty, and somewhat sarcastic heroine and I loved her!... Christophe, well... what can I say? He smells yummy for one and I was rooting for him since the first book. Graves I loved how he was the loyal friend and a potential love interest... Overall this series was incredibly enjoyable and at times frustrating when I had to wait months before I could get the next one!!!!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5An amazing ending to an outstanding series. Lili St. Crow's Strange Angels series is a must-read for YA paranormal fans.
