Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Listening to That's What Junkies Do was an intense and emotional experience. Shanon Weaver's narration is superb, her voice evoking the despair and hopelessness of the protagonist's addiction while also conveying the determination and courage he displays in his quest for sobriety. I found myself deeply invested in Thomas Figlioli's story, as he navigates the pitfalls of addiction and the challenges of recovery. The pacing is well-judged, with moments of high tension balanced by periods of poignant reflection. While the content can be dark at times, the audiobook ultimately offers a message of hope and redemption. One minor critique is that the production quality could have been slightly better, with occasional background noise detracting from the overall experience. Nonetheless, That's What Junkies Do is an unforgettable and thought-provoking listen that I would highly recommend to anyone interested in addiction, recovery, or personal growth.
