Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I was immediately drawn into Adelstein's world, where the allure of cryptocurrency and the thrill of the high-stakes heist collide. Thorne's narration is top-notch, conveying the author's passion and expertise with ease. One of the standout aspects of this audiobook is its ability to balance the complexities of cryptocurrency with the human stories that drive the plot forward. My only criticism is that the pacing can feel a bit uneven at times, with some sections feeling a bit rushed in comparison to others. However, this is a minor quibble in an otherwise engaging and thought-provoking listen. Overall, I would highly recommend 'The Devil Takes Bitcoin' to anyone interested in cryptocurrency, true crime, or just a good story. Adelstein's writing is engaging, and Thorne's narration is superb. Give it a listen, but be prepared to have your eyes opened to the dark side of digital cash.
