Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I was hooked from the opening chapters of Come on Seabiscuit!, and I attribute much of that to Jim Weiss's engaging narration. As an audiobook editor, I'm always on the lookout for narrators who can bring a story to life, and Weiss does just that. His voice is warm and inviting, and he expertly conveys the emotions and motivations of the characters. One of the things that really stands out about this audiobook is the way Moody weaves together the stories of the people and horses involved in Seabiscuit's journey. It's a masterful blend of historical fact and personal anecdote that makes the audiobook feel both informative and entertaining. If I have any criticism, it's that the final act of the story feels just a bit rushed, and some of the supporting characters are slightly underdeveloped. However, these are minor quibbles in an otherwise outstanding audiobook. Overall, Come on Seabiscuit! is a must-listen for fans of horse racing and inspirational stories.
