Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Listening to Kent State is like stepping into a time machine. The narration, led by a talented ensemble cast, is nothing short of exceptional. Each narrator brings a unique voice and style to their character, making it easy to distinguish between perspectives. The pacing is steady, building tension and suspense as the story unfolds. The production is minimalistic, allowing the narration and story to take center stage. However, I found the transition between narrators to be a bit jarring at times, and some characters' voices could have been more distinct. Despite these minor critiques, Kent State is a must-listen for anyone interested in historical fiction or seeking a deeper understanding of this pivotal moment in American history.
