Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Fleming's narrative is a joy, balancing Franklin's public and private lives with equal measure. I loved how he brought to life Franklin's ingenious inventions and diplomatic triumphs, but also his personal struggles and growth. Fellner's narration is a perfect match, his voice rich and inviting, perfectly suited to Franklin's quotable wit. The pacing is spot-on, never bogging down in detail yet never rushing through crucial moments. My only critique? I wish there was more about Franklin's later years, but that's a minor quibble in an otherwise excellent audiobook.
