Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Virtual Voice delivers a powerful performance that captures both the gritty determination and the fragile humanity of Cole Hendricks. The narrative unfolds with a compelling mix of personal struggle and societal pressure, making for a deeply engaging experience. However, the narration occasionally feels overly robotic during tender moments, which can detract from the emotional impact. Despite this minor flaw, ‘Making Weight’ is a must-listen for fans of literary fiction who are ready to delve into a story that’s as thought-provoking as it is heart-wrenching.
