The Island

The narration by Gabe Gutierrez is both powerful and disquieting—a perfect match for the gravity of the subject matter. His deep, resonant voice carries a weight that underscores the severity of Puerto Rico’s plight. The narrative zips through a decade of financial turmoil and federal neglect with an energy that keeps you listening intently. However, there are moments where the rapid pace can feel overwhelming, making it difficult to fully absorb all the details. Nevertheless, Gutierrez's dedication ensures this audiobook remains compelling throughout. A must-listen for anyone seeking a nuanced understanding of American colonialism in action.
