Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Stephen McLaughlin's narration is a standout feature, imbuing 'Bottled & Sold' with an authoritative yet relatable voice that keeps listeners captivated. Gleick masterfully weaves together historical context and current events, delivering a well-paced narrative that doesn’t skimp on detail. However, the abundance of statistics can sometimes feel overwhelming, potentially detracting from the broader narrative. Despite this minor flaw, the audiobook remains a compelling exploration of how our relationship with water has been transformed by corporate interests. A must-listen for anyone curious about the business of life’s most essential element.
