Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Patrick Gleason's narration adds layers of emotion and urgency to Pete McBride’s Witness to Water. His voice transforms into the river itself, whispering secrets and crying out in distress as the story unfolds. The audiobook is punctuated with evocative images from McBride’s expeditions, which are seamlessly woven into the narrative. However, a few sections could benefit from more dynamic editing; at times, the background music competes for attention, detracting slightly from the overall flow. Despite this minor quibble, Witness to Water remains an essential listen for anyone fascinated by natural history and environmental conservation.
