Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Emily Tremaine's narration adds depth to Tally's journey, bringing the narrative's urgency and youthful rebellion to life. Her ability to convey both Tally’s curiosity and her initial defiance makes for a compelling listening experience. The audiobook thrives in its exploration of peer pressure and self-identity, with moments of humor that lighten the dystopian tone. However, some might find the pacing slightly uneven at times, as the narrative occasionally lingers on descriptive scenes. Despite this minor critique, ‘Uglies’ remains a standout, perfect for fans of Scott Westerfeld’s imaginative storytelling.
