Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas Editorial Team

As an audiobook listener, I'm often drawn to stories that challenge my perceptions, and 'Fanatic Heart' delivers just that. Keneally's exploration of Michael Collins is both insightful and unapologetic, painting a portrait of a man who was as divisive as he was influential. David Tredinnick's narration is a true asset to the listening experience, his Irish accent and expressive delivery bringing the story to life. The pacing is steady, allowing Keneally's prose to shine, but I found myself wishing for more depth in the female characters. Overall, 'Fanatic Heart' is a compelling listen that will leave you questioning your own views on heroism and legacy.
