A review by angelinoo
The Burying Place by Brian Freeman

2.0

It’s obvious this book was written by a white man. The story and plot are interesting and I enjoy all of the characters from being introduced to them in the previous book, but once again the women’s dialogue and the way they’re described is flat, stereotypical, and sound ridiculous. Has he met an actual woman? This author hates women because they are written to be annoying completely stupid, and ruin their entire lives because of men and wanting babies. The women are portrayed as unhinged and downright crazy and irrational. I’m listening to the audiobook and the narration is just okay. They really should be a woman narrating for the women in this book. For some odd reason he gives Serena a weird and terrible southern accent but Sabrina is from Nevada, so WTF? Maggie, is apparently Chinese American and good lord her description is wild AF. He really used the words “bottle cap nose” WTAF???
Micki, The only other non-white person is Mexican and they keep calling her and “illegal” as opposed to calling her an “undocumented immigrant”. Also, why does she have to be undocumented? Another stereotype. The narrators voice, for Mickey is absolutely offensive. Whoever is in charge of all of this has got to do better with this mess. Brian Freeman needs to consult women especially women of color before he writes about them ever again. The book is also very very white and okay that’s fine…
