Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Martha Plimpton’s performance is nothing short of mesmerizing as she narrates Diary. Her tone shifts seamlessly from chilling detachment to poignant vulnerability, perfectly mirroring the protagonist's journey. The narrative unfolds with an eerie calm, drawing listeners into a world where every word feels like a punch in the gut. While the story can be heavy and occasionally slow-moving, Plimpton’s dedication keeps it compelling. However, some scenes feel overly reliant on exposition, which could have benefited from more dynamic pacing. Overall, Diary is a gripping listen that will leave you questioning your own desires for immortality.
