Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas Editorial Team

Listening to Elizabeth Smart narrate her own story is an intimate experience. Her voice, soft yet steady, feels like a friend sharing a secret. She doesn't shy away from the brutal details of her abduction and captivity, but she also doesn't dwell on them. Instead, she focuses on her journey back, the detours she took on the road to healing. The pacing is steady, not rushed, allowing the story's emotional weight to sink in. The production is simple, letting Smart's voice take center stage. However, I would have appreciated more variation in the narration's pace to reflect the story's emotional ups and downs. Overall, 'Detours' is a compelling, inspiring listen that reminds us all that life's detours can lead to strength and purpose.
