Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Kevin T. Collins delivers a dynamic and heartfelt performance that truly captures the essence of Stymie's journey. His narration is not just recitative; it's passionate and evocative, especially during the emotional moments shared between Jacobs and his prized colt. The audiobook’s structure, which alternates between historical facts and intimate personal accounts, creates a gripping narrative flow. However, some sections feel slightly rushed, particularly when detailing complex racing strategies, which might benefit from more elaboration for those less familiar with the sport. Nonetheless, the overarching story of perseverance and love is undoubtedly inspiring and well-told.
