Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Alexei Sayle’s narration is the star of this audiobook, his sharp delivery perfectly complementing Felton’s trenchant critiques. The pacing is brisk, with each story unfolding in concise, punchy segments that keep you hooked from start to finish. While the book excels in its sharp wit and detailed analysis, it occasionally feels a bit too focused on criticism without offering positive alternatives for media literacy. Despite this minor critique, Sunburn is an essential listen for anyone interested in journalism, satire, or simply enjoying a brilliantly performed narrative. It’s witty, insightful, and a joy to experience out loud.
