Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Bahni Turpin's performance in 'Falling in Love with Hominids' is nothing short of mesmerizing. Her ability to modulate tones and inflections perfectly captures the complex emotions of the characters, from the joyous and hopeful to the somber and contemplative. The story itself is a masterclass in blending fantasy and reality; it’s both enchanting and deeply reflective on societal issues. However, some may find the pacing slightly uneven at times, with certain sections feeling more metaphorical than necessary. Nevertheless, this audiobook stands as a testament to Hopkinson's literary prowess and Turpin’s exceptional narration.
