Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I was thoroughly impressed by Rachel Jacobs' narration in 'How to Become a Planet'. She brings a sense of warmth and empathy to the protagonist, Pluto, making it easy to become invested in their journey. The production quality is top-notch, with clear and crisp audio that makes for a seamless listening experience. One area where the story falters slightly is in its handling of some of the supporting characters, who can feel a bit one-dimensional at times. Additionally, the pacing can drag in a few sections, particularly in the middle. However, these are minor quibbles in an otherwise engaging and heartfelt story. Overall, I highly recommend 'How to Become a Planet' for its thoughtful exploration of identity, family, and self-acceptance.
