Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Charlie Thurston delivers a compelling performance that anchors 'Bang' throughout its 5 hours and 37 minutes. His portrayal of Sebastian is nuanced, making his struggles relatable without wallowing in despair. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the emotional weight to build gradually—perfect for listeners who appreciate well-developed character arcs. However, some sections feel a bit slow-paced, particularly during introspective monologues which could benefit from more dynamic delivery. Despite this minor critique, 'Bang' remains a gripping listen that tackles difficult topics with honesty and insight.
