Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Roy McMillan’s narration is a revelation; his calm, measured tone perfectly complements Roger Deakin's lyrical prose. Each segment unfolds like a leisurely swim, gently guiding listeners through Deakin's personal encounters and musings. The pacing is deliberate, allowing ample time to absorb the rich detail of each setting—from the vastness of the sea to the serene beauty of a village pond. Yet, the audiobook occasionally falters with overly technical descriptions that might overshadow the emotional core of Deakin’s narrative. Despite this minor critique, Waterlog remains an essential read for anyone intrigued by environmental philosophy and the enduring allure of water.
