Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

John Cho's narration in ‘Troublemaker’ is nothing short of exceptional. His deep, soothing voice perfectly captures Jordan's introspective tone, adding depth to each word. The audiobook’s pacing is deliberate, allowing ample time for reflection on Jordan's journey. While the plot covers heavy topics, Cho’s delivery keeps things from feeling overly didactic. A few scenes feel a bit rushed, but overall, his performance is one of the book’s strengths. The interplay between school and family dynamics is particularly strong, making it easy to connect with Jordan's experiences. This audiobook stands out for its honest portrayal of growing up in the midst of turmoil.
