Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Chaz Allen delivers a stellar performance in 'Becoming German,' ensuring each character comes across with authenticity and emotion. His narration is particularly compelling as it shifts between narrating the broader historical context and intimate personal stories. The pacing keeps listeners engaged, never allowing the narrative to drag despite its substantial historical content. However, some sections could benefit from more explicit signposting for new immigrants' experiences within larger migration narratives. Despite this minor quibble, this audiobook is a must-listen for anyone fascinated by early American history or immigrant stories.
