Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Michael Perry’s performance as narrator perfectly complements his writing style in Population: 485. His voice has a natural warmth that keeps you engaged throughout the 6+ hours, making even mundane conversations feel like a discovery. The pacing is deliberate but never sluggish; each story flows seamlessly into the next, creating a cohesive yet dynamic narrative. One critique might be that some of the later stories could have been cut for brevity without sacrificing depth. However, this audiobook’s greatest strength lies in its ability to make you feel like you’re part of New Auburn. It's not just an account; it's an experience.
