paperbacksocial 's review for:

Mules and Men by Zora Neale Hurston
5.0
adventurous challenging emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring mysterious reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This is brilliant- as a non fiction anthropological study especially but also funny… and frightening! I’d say don’t read the first half (the “lies”) all at once though, the structure of travel and narration can get a bit repetitive. The second half on hoodoo though- that is dedication! Overall, very valuable
