Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Listening to 'We Are What We Pretend to Be' is like having a conversation with Vonnegut himself. The narration is top-notch, with each narrator bringing their unique style to the table. Colin Hanks captures the author's wry humor, while Oliver Wyman and Suzanne Toren lend a wonderful warmth and sincerity to the more poignant pieces. The pacing is excellent, allowing each story to breathe and unfold naturally. However, a couple of stories towards the end felt a tad too preachy, but that's a minor quibble in an otherwise outstanding collection. This audiobook is a must-listen for Vonnegut fans and anyone looking for a thought-provoking, entertaining listen.
