Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Ben Onwukwe's intense and passionate portrayal of Anthony brings the rapper’s charisma to life, while Adjoa Andoh’s soft yet authoritative voice as Adaora adds a calming counterpoint. The narration is seamlessly integrated into the story, enhancing the narrative without overshadowing Okorafor’s vivid storytelling. 'Lagoon’ zips along at an exhilarating pace, keeping listeners on the edge of their seats with its unpredictable twists and turns. However, some plotlines feel rushed towards the end, which slightly detracts from the overall impact. Despite this minor flaw, it remains a gripping listen that captures the essence of Lagos and leaves you wanting more.
