Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Lincoln Hoppe's narration is nothing short of brilliant; his ability to modulate his voice to reflect the different characters and scenarios is both impressive and authentic. The audiobook’s pacing mirrors the slow burn of teenage angst, with pauses that feel just right during dramatic or introspective moments. However, some listeners might find certain sections overly reminiscent of popular teen lit tropes, which can make parts seem slightly predictable. Despite this minor quibble, ‘King Dork’ remains a thoroughly engaging and relatable listen. It’s perfect for fans of John Green's work who are looking to revisit the highs and lows of adolescence through Portman’s unique lens.
