THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM

Tommy Tomlinson narrates his audiobook in a voice filled with the honest heart and soul-baring courage of his writing. Tomlinson, diagnosed as morbidly obese, grew up in a loving household, a love demonstrated through meals. He discusses openly his experiences of having to navigate a world not built for people his size. He describes his reflexive ability to consume food, a struggle he faces as he works on living a healthier life. Tomlinson's voice, quiet and gravelly, reflects the medical interventions he recounts in his audiobook. Befitting the professional journalist and freelance writer he is, his skill at telling a good story carries the listener. Tomlinson doesn't mince words, nor does he ask for the listener's pity.
