Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

As an audiobook editor, I was blown away by the level of detail and research that went into this production. From the opening chapters, I was hooked by the story of American Flight 119, and T. Ryder Smith's narration only added to the tension and suspense. However, I did find the pacing to be a bit uneven in places, with some sections feeling a touch rushed. Additionally, I would have appreciated more context about the broader social and cultural trends that contributed to the rise in hijackings. Despite these minor quibbles, I highly recommend The Hijacking of American Flight 119 to anyone interested in true crime, history, or the darker side of human nature.
