Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Jeremy Bobb’s narration brings Neil Armstrong’s life to life in 'First Man.' His clear, steady voice never wavers even during the most intense moments. The pacing keeps listeners engaged throughout the expansive narrative, with only minor hiccups where the story seems to lose momentum. James R Hansen's meticulous research ensures that every detail about Armstrong’s career and personal life is captivating. Despite its length, this audiobook remains compelling, thanks largely to Bobb’s ability to convey both the historical significance of Armstrong’s journey and his complex, relatable character.
