Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Nelson Runger’s narration in 'No Ordinary Time' is nothing short of exceptional—his deep, resonant voice perfectly captures the gravity and complexity of the Roosevelt years. The narrative flows seamlessly, with a blend of personal anecdotes and historical context that keeps listeners hooked. Goodwin's research shines through in vivid details about daily life and political decisions, making this an indispensable listen for history buffs. However, at nearly 40 hours, it may test even the most dedicated listener’s patience. Despite its length, the depth and detail make it well worth the commitment.
