Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Bryson’s voice is a perfect match for this sprawling narrative, his humor seamlessly weaving through the dense historical data. The summer of 1927 comes alive as he recounts the lives of Babe Ruth, Charles Lindbergh, and Al Capone, among others. However, at times, the rapid pacing can feel overwhelming; some segments could benefit from a bit more context to fully grasp their significance. Despite this minor critique, 'One Summer' remains an audiobook that will keep you captivated from start to finish.
