Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Michael Richards' narration is the standout feature of this audiobook. His calm, steady voice lulls you into a false sense of security before dropping you into the protagonist's chaotic, paranoid thoughts. The story's pacing is masterful, building from subtle unease to full-blown paranoia, with Richards' performance perfectly mirroring this descent. However, the story's abrupt ending feels unsatisfying, leaving the listener craving more resolution. Despite this, 'Diary of a Lunatic' is a chilling, thought-provoking listen that will stay with you long after it's over.
