AudioFile Magazine has hailed Senator Sherrod Brown’s latest book in audio format as “intriguing.” Not​ only does it showcase the ⁤Ohio Democrat’s exceptional ​writing, but it also highlights the “thoughtful tone” brought by co-narrator Leon Nixon.

Nixon,‌ known for his silky voice, has gained recognition for narrating a series of steamy novels, including Hood Boyz ⁣Fall In Love Too 3, ​ Nobody Can Love You Like Them Roughnecks Do 2, Fallin’ For a Miami Hustla 3, and Mated to the Cyborgs.

While Nixon’s‍ novels have garnered thousands of reviews on Amazon, Brown’s book, Desk 88: ‍Eight Progressive Senators Who ​Changed America, ranks a modest 919,374th on the best seller charts.

In Desk 88, ‌Brown dedicates ​each chapter to a different senator who once occupied his⁢ desk. Throughout the book, ⁢Brown quotes lawmakers using ​the N-word. Interestingly, the African-American Nixon, not ⁣Brown himself, reads these controversial passages, which ​include quotes⁤ from Mississippi ‍Democrat Theodore Bilbo, strategist Lee Atwater,‍ and former vice president Al Gore, who was quoting Strom Thurmond.

Despite the lack of response from Brown’s ‍spokesperson, the book delves into the profiles​ of various figures, including former Ku Klux Klan member and Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black. Brown justifies this inclusion, calling it “complicated but necessary” in a ⁣book about influential progressives who sat at Desk ⁢88.

Nixon, no stranger​ to controversy, has⁤ received ​mixed reviews for his narration in other‌ audiobooks.⁣ Listeners have engaged in heated debates in the Amazon comments section, with​ some finding his voice “boring” and‌ others finding it “soothing” and capable of guiding readers into‍ a world of love and romance.

According to Amazon reviews, Nixon’s best performance can be found in The Right‍ Player: A Sports Romance. Fans have‌ described his voice as “perfect for ⁤an evening on the couch,⁣ with your ​eyes closed, allowing the ⁣story to unfold in your imagination.”

One of Nixon’s notable works, Her Naughty Suitor (Falling ⁣for a Rose), features him ⁢voicing a real estate mogul with an intense desire to explore every aspect of the book’s female protagonist. The book has received enthusiastic reviews, with one reader exclaiming, “Oh my Gawd!! Lord, help me.​ I need a cigarette or ⁤a drink after reading ‘Her Naughty Suitor.’ And I don’t ‍smoke nor drink. ‍I LOVED IT!!!!”

It’s ⁢worth noting that Brown is not the first Democrat to venture into the world of romance novels. Stacey Abrams, a two-time failed gubernatorial candidate, has also dabbled ⁣in romance writing, producing books like Never Tell, a thrilling tale of a criminal psychologist who falls in love with a journalist while unraveling the mystery⁤ of⁣ a serial killer.

Furthermore, Nixon’s involvement in politics extends beyond his narration of romance ⁤novels. He⁢ took a break from his usual bodice-rippers to contribute to the audiobook version of‌ the January 6th report.

How has ⁤Leon Nixon’s narration​ in ⁤Senator Brown’s audio book, “Captivating,” been praised for bringing depth and emotion to the story?

Captivating.” However, in Senator Brown’s audio book,⁤ Nixon’s narration has received widespread praise for​ his⁢ ability to bring depth and⁢ emotion to the story.

The‍ combination of Brown’s well-researched and insightful writing, and Nixon’s skillful narration, creates a‌ compelling listening experience. The⁢ book explores the lives and​ legacies of eight progressive senators who have had a significant‌ impact on American politics. From disrupting ​racial and gender barriers to championing economic reforms, these senators have left an indelible mark on the nation.

One of the striking aspects of⁢ the audio ⁣book is the inclusion of controversial​ quotes, particularly those containing racial slurs. It is surprising‌ that Senator Brown has chosen Nixon to read ​these passages, given that the author himself is not delivering them. However, this decision adds a layer of complexity and nuance to the text, highlighting the racial tensions and challenges faced by these progressive lawmakers. The choice to confront the⁢ uncomfortable history and language used by influential figures of the past is commendable, as it ⁢encourages reflection and conversation.

Describing Desk 88 as “complicated but necessary,” Brown acknowledges the controversial figures he profiles, including those with ties to the Ku Klux Klan. By examining the complexities of these individuals‍ and their impact on American history,‌ Brown prompts readers to⁢ consider the broader context and forces that have shaped the‌ nation’s progress.

While Desk 88 may not have achieved significant commercial success, it is clear that the audio book has resonated with many ⁤listeners. AudioFile Magazine’s recognition of ‌its intriguing nature indicates that it has struck a chord among those who appreciate well-crafted narratives and thought-provoking content. The combination ⁣of Brown’s ⁢writing and Nixon’s narration has created a powerful storytelling experience that sheds light ⁢on the often overlooked contributions of‍ progressive senators.

In conclusion, Senator Sherrod Brown’s audio book, Desk 88, ‍deserves high praise for its compelling narrative and the skillful narration of Leon Nixon. By delving into ‌the ​lives of progressive senators who ‌have shaped American ⁣history, the book prompts reflection and discussion. Despite its modest sales ranking, the book’s impact⁣ on listeners cannot be denied. ‌It is a ‌testament to the power of storytelling and‌ the importance of recognizing the nuanced complexities of influential ​figures in our nation’s past.
