Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas

Listening to El Narco narrated by Paul Thornley was like being transported into the heart of Mexico's drug war. Thornley's narration was nothing short of stellar, with a voice that's both authoritative and empathetic, making it easy to become engrossed in the audiobook. The production quality is top-notch, with clear audio and a well-paced narrative that keeps listeners engaged throughout the 13 hours and 37 minutes. While the content is undeniably dark and violent, it's an essential listen for those interested in true crime and organized crime. Grillo's research is extensive, and the audiobook provides an in-depth understanding of the complexities of the drug trade and its impact on Mexican society. My only critique would be that some listeners may find the content overwhelming due to its intensity, but for those prepared to delve into the world of narco-terrorism, El Narco is an unforgettable and eye-opening experience.
