Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Wayne Evans' narration is the star of this show. His voice, rich and warm, perfectly captures the tone of Fitzgerald's writing. He masterfully portrays Anson's blend of arrogance and vulnerability, making him a character you'll love to hate. The pacing is spot-on, allowing the story's tension to build naturally. However, I found the ending a tad rushed, leaving me wanting more resolution. Despite this, 'The Rich Boy' is a fantastic listen, offering a snapshot of the Roaring Twenties and a compelling character study.
