Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Miles Harvey’s narration is nothing short of exceptional; his ability to convey the pain, anger, and resilience of Jerome and other characters makes every moment count. The pacing is well-balanced, allowing for emotional moments without feeling overly drawn out. While some parts are heart-wrenchingly difficult to listen to, they serve to underscore the importance of the themes. A specific critique would be that at times, the narrative’s complexity might feel overwhelming for younger listeners, but overall, it’s a powerful experience that resonates deeply.
