Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

David Colacci’s narration of 'Mad at the World' is nothing short of exceptional. His ability to convey Steinbeck’s rage, sorrow, and hope in equal measure is nothing short of masterful. The pacing is deliberate yet compelling, allowing for moments of reflection that linger long after listening. Yet, the audiobook isn’t without its flaws—some of the more academic sections can feel a bit dry. Nonetheless, Colacci’s emotive delivery ensures listeners remain deeply engaged with Steinbeck’s journey. A must-listen for fans of memoir and biography.
