Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Stephen Borne’s narration brings 'Detained' to life with an authenticity that makes every moment feel intense and real. His ability to differentiate between the characters, especially Hasan and Najib's voices, enhances the emotional weight of their experiences. The story unfolds at a deliberate pace, allowing listeners to absorb the gravity of each turn in the narrative. However, some scenes might feel overly repetitive due to the cyclical nature of their detention, which could have been tightened for greater impact. Despite this minor critique, 'Detained' remains a compelling and thought-provoking listen that challenges perceptions of freedom and justice.
