Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Dion Graham’s narration in Concrete Rose is nothing short of masterful, perfectly capturing the essence of Seventies Philadelphia and bringing Maverick Carter to life. His nuanced performance adeptly conveys the protagonist's evolving emotions, from innocence to resilience. The story itself is a powerful narrative, blending historical context with personal growth, making it an emotional rollercoaster. However, some might find the pacing slightly slow in parts, which can be attributed to the detailed depiction of era-specific social issues. Despite this, the audiobook’s commitment to authentic storytelling and its exploration of complex themes make it a standout addition to Angie Thomas's body of work.
