Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Dan Woren's narration is a highlight of this audiobook, bringing Plimpton's anecdotes to life with a blend of authority and warmth. His deep baritone perfectly complements the rich content, making each story feel both personal and relatable. The pacing is impeccable, maintaining a steady rhythm that keeps listeners engaged from start to finish. One minor critique: some of the more technical sports descriptions might require multiple listenings for full comprehension, but this adds depth rather than detracts. Overall, "Paper Lion" is a must-listen for anyone fascinated by the intersection of sports and narrative journalism.
