Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

John H. Mayer's performance in 'Meet You in Hell' is nothing short of exceptional. His portrayal of Rockefeller and Carnegie brings a level of depth that makes each character uniquely memorable. The pacing is impeccable; Standiford manages to keep the story moving without losing detail or historical context. One can’t help but be captivated by the narrative, even as one sympathizes with the human cost behind these industrial achievements. However, some listeners might find the frequent flashbacks a bit jarring, and the narration occasionally veers into over-explanation of economic concepts that could have been conveyed more subtly. Despite these minor critiques, this audiobook is a must-listen for anyone interested in business history or the cutthroat world of late 19th-century American industry.
