Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

As I immersed myself in 'Born to Steal,' I found myself captivated by the author's adept storytelling and the narrator's expert delivery. Frank Whaley's ability to bring the characters to life was particularly impressive, with each voice and personality distinctly rendered. Weiss' writing is both engaging and informative, providing listeners with an in-depth look into a world shrouded in secrecy. While some of the more technical financial jargon may be challenging for those less familiar with the subject, the author's ability to balance complex concepts with relatable anecdotes makes this audiobook accessible to a wide audience. The pacing and production are top-notch, with no drop in energy or focus. However, some listeners may find the sheer volume of corrupt individuals and their schemes overwhelming at times, making it difficult to keep track of the myriad characters involved.
