Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Karen Chilton's nuanced voice brings 'Under the Skin' to life, making this audiobook both a compelling and deeply unsettling listen. Her ability to convey the emotional weight of each statistic and story is masterful, especially in moments where the narrative turns personal or poignant. The pacing is deliberate yet maintains a steady flow that keeps you engaged throughout. However, some parts might feel overly academic for those looking for a more accessible read. Despite this minor critique, Villarosa’s writing remains sharp and impactful, leaving listeners with a profound sense of urgency to advocate for change.
