Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I was blown away by Kate Mulgrew's narration of Born with Teeth. Her voice is like a warm hug, conveying the love and humor that permeate her story. As I listened, I found myself laughing out loud at her parents' antics and nodding in recognition at her struggles to find her place in the world. The pacing is expertly handled, with Mulgrew effortlessly gliding between the serious and the lighthearted moments. One of the things that sets Born with Teeth apart is its unapologetic honesty. Mulgrew tackles topics like her parents' drinking and infidelity with a candor that's both refreshing and unsettling. While some listeners may find certain scenes uncomfortable, they are ultimately a testament to Mulgrew's courage and resilience. My only quibble is that the audiobook could have benefited from a more nuanced exploration of Mulgrew's relationships with her parents. At times, I felt like I was getting a binary portrait of loving and flawed parents, rather than a more nuanced understanding of their complexities. Despite this minor criticism, I highly recommend Born with Teeth to anyone looking for a memoir that's both entertaining and thought-provoking. Mulgrew's storytelling is top-notch, and her voice is the perfect accompaniment to her journey.
