Above

Madeleine Maby's narration is a standout element of this audiobook. Her ability to maintain a steady pace while subtly modulating tone and pitch keeps you on edge, mirroring Blythe's journey with a haunting calmness. The way she inflects Blythe’s thoughts and reactions adds depth that makes each character feel real and relatable. The story itself is both captivating and disturbing, exploring themes of human resilience in the face of overwhelming madness. However, some scenes might feel overly dramatic for those seeking more subtle literary fiction, which can sometimes detract from the overall tension. Despite this minor critique, Above remains a compelling listen that will keep you hooked until the very end.
