Book description
Review - The Jealous Kind (Audiobook)
James Lee Burke's newest tale, The Jealous Kind, is a lush, evocative listening experience that feels both fresh and familiar. From the very first words, the narrator transports you to 1950s Houston-a place of polished Cadillacs, drive-in flicks, and quiet desperation. The soundscape captures that era's hum: distant church bells, the hiss of neon signs, the low rumble of a car engine on a summer night. It's not just a backdrop; it's a character in its own right.
At the center is Aaron Broussard, a high-school junior whose world is split between the ordinary and the ominous. Burke paints his coming-of-age with quiet intensity-Aaron's first love, Valerie Epstein, sparks a gentle rebellion against the rigid class lines that divide their town. The narrator's warm tone brings out Aaron's vulnerability; you can feel the weight of each decision he makes as the specter of the Korean War looms in the distance.
The audiobook shines when Burke dives into the darker corners of Houston. Grady Harrelson and his father's criminal ties are delivered with a tense, almost cinematic quality. The narrator balances dialogue so that each character's voice feels distinct-Grady's bravado, Valerie's quiet strength, Aaron's earnest uncertainty-all woven together without losing clarity.
What makes this recording truly compelling is the way it mirrors the larger world on the brink of change. Burke's prose is lyrical yet grounded; he doesn't rely on grandiose metaphors but instead lets everyday moments-Aaron watching a sunset over the bayou, a quiet conversation at the high-school gym-speak volumes. The narrator captures that subtlety, letting pauses and inflections highlight the emotional beats.
Listening to The Jealous Kind feels like stepping into a time capsule that still speaks to today's issues: class disparity, youthful rebellion, the fragility of "traditional America." It's an audiobook that stays with you long after the final track ends. For fans of Burke or anyone who loves a well-crafted coming-of-age story set against a richly detailed historical backdrop, this is a must-hear.
