Editor's Review ★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Listening to 'The Big Store' is like being a fly on the wall of a corporate boardroom circa 1970s. Katz's journalistic background shines through in his detailed, almost novelistic storytelling. Sutherland's narration is a standout, his voice perfectly capturing the gravitas of the story. However, at times, the sheer volume of historical detail can feel overwhelming, and the pacing may slow for those less interested in the intricacies of retail economics. Despite this, the audiobook is a compelling listen, offering a fascinating look into the American Dream's flip side.
