Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Listening to John Elder Robison narrate 'Raising Cubby' feels like sitting down for coffee with an old friend who just has a lot more stories than you do. His narration is unfiltered, raw, and deeply moving—like hearing the author's thoughts firsthand as he recounts these adventures. The pacing is impeccable, balancing humor and heartache in a way that keeps you engaged throughout. One critique: some listeners might find the technical details of homemade explosives too jarring. However, Robison’s storytelling makes every aspect of his life feel like an adventure worth listening to.
