Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

As someone who's followed Barkley's career since the early 90s, I was thrilled to find this audiobook. Timothy Bella's storytelling is top-notch, providing a well-researched and intimate look at Barkley's life that truly captures his unique spirit. Korey Jackson's narration is spot-on, with a voice that perfectly matches Barkley's charisma and confidence. The pacing is excellent, keeping listeners engaged throughout the 16-hour runtime. One critique would be the occasional use of repetition in certain anecdotes, which felt a bit redundant at times. However, this minor issue doesn't detract from the overall enjoyment of the audiobook. If you're a fan of basketball or simply interested in the stories behind the athletes we idolize, Barkley is a must-listen.
