Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Peter Kenyon’s narration is nothing short of extraordinary in 'The Twelve-Fingered Boy.' His ability to convey Shreve’s inner turmoil and the harsh realities of his world with such authenticity is truly remarkable. The way he modulates his voice for each character ensures that no two voices blend together, making the audiobook an engaging auditory experience. While the story’s focus on a young boy's resilience might feel overly familiar at times, the unique physicality of Shreve—his twelve fingers—provides a compelling narrative thread that sets this book apart. The pacing is deliberate yet never dull, allowing ample time for character development while maintaining suspense. Overall, it's a gripping listen that you'll find hard to put down.
