Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

As someone who's always been fascinated by the Lincoln assassination, I found 'The Man Who Shot John Wilkes Booth' utterly compelling. Lomakayu's narration is a real treat, his ability to switch between characters and accents is nothing short of impressive. He brings a raw, visceral energy to the story that makes you feel like you're right there in the action. The pacing is spot on, never lingering too long on descriptive passages, but always giving you just enough detail to paint a vivid picture. My only critique is that at times, the dialogue can feel a tad stilted, but it's a minor quibble in an otherwise excellent listen. Summers' story is a testament to the power of historical fiction, reminding us that sometimes, the truth is stranger than fiction. And isn't that what makes history so darn interesting?
