Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Robin Miles delivers a stellar narration that elevates Margot Lee Shetterly's meticulously researched narrative. Her deep, authoritative voice is perfectly suited for the serious subject matter while maintaining a touch of warmth and empathy towards the characters. The pacing is deliberate yet engaging, allowing listeners to fully absorb each moment of discovery and struggle. One minor critique: some technical details might have benefited from more concrete examples to enhance understanding. Despite this, 'Hidden Figures' remains an overwhelmingly captivating journey into the hidden world of America’s space race.
