Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

As someone who appreciates insightful biographies, I found myself completely absorbed in X by Ilyasah Shabazz, narrated by the talented Dion Graham and Ilyasah Shabazz herself. The dual narration brings a sense of authenticity and depth, with Ilyasah's personal connection to the subject matter adding a layer of emotion to the story. Graham's rich voice and Ilyasah's conversational tone work seamlessly together, creating a dynamic listening experience. One aspect that impressed me was the audiobook's pacing, which maintains a steady rhythm that keeps listeners engaged without overwhelming them with information. However, I felt that the audiobook could have included more detailed background information on some of the historical events mentioned to provide context for younger listeners. Overall, X by Ilyasah Shabazz is a must-listen for those interested in the life of Malcolm X and the impact of his journey on the civil rights movement.
