Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Jim Frangione brings a commanding presence to 'The Disenlightenment,' flawlessly mirroring Mamet’s incendiary style. The first chapter feels like listening to a stand-up comedian dissecting the absurdities of our world, with sharp one-liners and profound insights delivered at breakneck speed. However, the pacing can be challenging for listeners who prefer a slower burn; some passages feel rushed, though this intensity aligns well with Mamet’s message. Frangione’s nuanced delivery keeps pace with the book's complex arguments, making it both engaging and thought-provoking.
