Editor's Review ★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Eddie Frierson's narration is a standout feature of this audiobook. He masterfully captures the nuances of Smalldon's writing, making complex psychological concepts accessible to listeners. The pacing is steady, building tension as Smalldon delves into Fromme's psyche. However, some listeners might find the detailed analysis of Fromme's motivations a bit too academic at times, detracting slightly from the narrative's momentum. Overall, That Beast Was Not Me is a fascinating exploration of the mind behind a historical event, making it a compelling listen for true-crime enthusiasts and anyone interested in the psychology of criminal behavior.
