Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Emily Woo Zeller’s narration is nothing short of exceptional; her ability to convey the raw emotions of Gruenewald’s youth through subtle inflections and pacing adds a layer of authenticity that elevates this already gripping story. The audiobook captures the minutiae of life in the internment camps, from the cramped quarters to the hopes and fears of everyday people. However, some scenes feel overly detailed, which can be overwhelming at times. Despite this minor critique, 'Looking Like the Enemy' is a powerful and essential listen for anyone interested in American history and personal resilience.
