Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Matt Morel's electrifying performance brings BOOM to life, making every moment feel as charged as the subject matter itself. Horwitz’s narrative is a masterclass in weaving together facts with personal anecdotes, creating an engaging dialogue between the listener and the vast energy landscapes of North America. The audiobook’s pacing is impeccable, never dragging even during more technical discussions. However, some listeners might find the relentless focus on energy too narrow for their tastes, craving a bit more cultural or social context. Overall, BOOM is a must-listen for anyone interested in the volatile world of energy politics and the human stories behind them.
