Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

David Shih’s narration is nothing short of superb. His soft yet resolute voice captures the essence of Dao’s journey, making every word count. The story unfolds with a steady pace, allowing listeners to immerse themselves fully in the narrative. What sets this audiobook apart is its blend of personal anecdotes and broader historical context, creating a rich tapestry that demands attention. However, at times, the pacing can feel slightly uneven, with some sections feeling more rushed than others. Despite this minor critique, ‘Dragged Off’ remains an essential listen for anyone interested in contemporary immigrant stories and the fight against racial injustice.
