Simon Mattacks delivers a compelling narration of Leviathan, making Thomas Hobbes’s dense text accessible without sacrificing its intellectual depth. His voice is authoritative yet approachable, which helps listeners navigate the intricate arguments that form the core of Hobbes's philosophy. The pacing is deliberate, ensuring that each concept is well-explained before moving on to the next.

Despite this, Mattacks’s performance remains a highlight, making Leviathan a rewarding listen.
