Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas

As someone who's always been fascinated by Japan, I was excited to dive into Abroad in Japan, and I'm glad to say that Olaf Pessler's narration made the experience even more enjoyable. Pessler's energetic delivery perfectly matches Chris Broad's lively writing, painting a vivid picture of Japan's unique culture and quirks. It's clear Pessler's done his homework, as his pronunciation of Japanese words and names is impeccable. One minor critique is that during some lengthy descriptions of Japanese food, Pessler's pace could feel a bit rushed, making it harder to fully appreciate the culinary delights. Overall though, this audiobook is a fantastic way to explore Japan from the comfort of your own home, and I highly recommend it for any travel enthusiast or Japanophile.
