Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Dan Stevens delivers a stellar performance in this captivating audiobook of Roald Dahl’s 'Going Solo.' His clear, expressive narration perfectly matches the adventurous tone of the story. Listening to Dahl recount his solo flight across the Atlantic is like sitting next to him on that plane—full of nervous anticipation and exhilarating moments. However, some might find the storytelling a bit too self-indulgent at times, as Dahl goes into unnecessary detail about his socks! Despite this minor quibble, the overall experience is highly enjoyable, filled with Dahl’s characteristic humor and thrilling anecdotes.
