Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Johnny Heller's performance is nothing short of exceptional, bringing out the nuances in Spinelli’s writing with an understated yet powerful delivery. The audiobook stands out for its ability to tackle difficult topics like bullying and moral integrity with a rare balance of sensitivity and clarity. Pacing is just right, allowing listeners to fully immerse themselves without feeling rushed. However, there are moments where some of the quieter, more introspective scenes could benefit from a slight increase in volume or emphasis to ensure every word resonates. Overall, ‘Wringer’ is a must-listen for anyone seeking an audiobook that not only entertains but also challenges and inspires.
