Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Seth Numrich delivers an exceptional performance in 'Later,' his tone shifting seamlessly between the innocent wonder of childhood and the unsettling reality of Jamie's secret existence. The narration builds tension effectively, making each scene feel lived-in and visceral. Stephen King’s writing is stark and impactful; Jamie’s struggle to navigate his powers while dealing with a chaotic home life creates poignant moments that linger. However, some sequences could benefit from more varied pacing to avoid feeling overly drawn out. Overall, 'Later' is a compelling audiobook that fans of King will find deeply satisfying, though newcomers might need some patience as they acclimate to the slower narrative pace.
