Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

As an audiobook listener, I often find myself craving depth and nuance in my non-fiction choices. 'The Kennedys' delivers just that. Collier doesn't shy away from the Kennedys' flaws and foibles, painting a portrait that's both reverent and critical. Hurt's narration is exceptional, capturing the Kennedys' charm and charisma, but also their hubris and heartache. The pacing is steady, never bogging down in detail, yet never rushing through key moments. My only critique? The sheer length can feel daunting at times, but it's a small price to pay for such a comprehensive exploration of this fascinating family.
