Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

I'll be the first to admit that I was deeply affected by Singing Boy. The story is a gut-wrenching exploration of the consequences of violence, and Emily Zeller's narration is pitch-perfect. She brings a sense of depth and nuance to the characters, and her delivery is flawless. One of the things that struck me most about this audiobook was its pacing - the story unfolds at a slow-burning pace that's perfectly suited to the subject matter. If I have any critiques, it's that the supporting characters feel a bit one-dimensional at times, and the ending feels a bit rushed. However, these are minor quibbles in what is otherwise a masterful production. Overall, I'd highly recommend Singing Boy to anyone looking for a powerful and thought-provoking listen.
