Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Josh Ritter’s narration is not only a voice but a presence, drawing listeners into Cordelia, Idaho, where his deep, rich tones bring Weldon Applegate to life. The pacing is deliberate, allowing each anecdote to breathe and resonate. Specific moments like the tale of the Great Glorious Goddamn, a local legend that defines both place and people, are especially memorable. However, some listeners might find the storytelling’s slow pace a bit challenging; it requires patience to fully appreciate the depth of each narrative layer. Despite this, The Great Glorious Goddamn of It All is a profound and beautifully crafted audiobook that will resonate with anyone who has ever felt the weight of their community's history on their shoulders.
