About this listen
Editorial reviews
Charlayne Woodard's full-length stage monologue of her youthful impressions of her retarded aunt Beneatha, who seems to have perished young when she tried to fly off a precipice, begins at an amazing pitch of energy, which she more amazingly sustains throughout. She enthralls the listener - as writer and performer - with consummate theatricality, expertly orchestrating tensions, rhythms, humor, and pathos. She manages to make experiences peculiar to middle-class African-American Baby Boomers seem familiar to Americans of other backgrounds. The overall excellence of this production almost completely obscures its flaws: a manipulative, sentimental script and a performance that almost tries too hard.

In order to relate to Charlayne you would have to walk in her shoes. People that are blindsided to this way of life will enjoy this book. It’s an eye opener.

A Must Read
Neat is one of the best audible books I have listened to in years. Charlayne does an absolutely fantastic job of reading her own book. I have not laughed out loud so much when reading/listening to a book in forever. I am a member of a book club and I have the month of February (African American History month). I am the only African American in my book club and always choose February to add a little flava...to the line up. This will indeed be our February selection. I will encourage them to listen to it rather than read the book.
Good on you Charlayne. I am downloading another of yours immediatley.
