Editor's Review ★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Kristen Ariza’s narration in ‘Colored Television’ is nothing short of exceptional. Her ability to bring out the subtleties and complexities of each character is commendable, making every voice distinct and relatable. The story itself is a rollercoaster—partly humorous and deeply introspective, tackling issues like racial identity and personal growth with honesty. Senna’s writing isn’t just clever; it's searing. However, some parts might feel overly contrived, bogging down the narrative flow. Despite this, Ariza’s performance ensures that these moments are still engaging and worth hearing out. A compelling listen for those who appreciate genre-defying stories.
