Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Prentice Onayemi delivers a powerhouse performance in ‘Our Class.’ His deep, deliberate voice captures the raw emotion and resilience of Hedges’ subjects, bringing each tale to life with unwavering conviction. The pacing is deliberate but never tedious; Hedges’ narrative structure ensures that even the most harrowing stories retain an undercurrent of hope. However, at times, the audiobook’s focus on prison culture can feel overly repetitive, which may test listeners' patience. Despite this minor flaw, it remains a crucial and compelling exploration of American injustice.
