THE BOOK OF GEORGE

Blair Baker's narration effectively frames the story of a privileged young man who is struggling to see the world beyond himself--even if he's not aware of his own limitations. Listeners observe the development of George, an inauspicious male in his 20s who continues the unfulfilled promises of his youth and lacks critical awareness of the people close to him. He survives on a potent mix of luck and assistance from family and friends. Baker handles humor, conflict, and cringeworthy events with subtle timing while fully embodying the characters, including George's girlfriend. Baker captures the overarching impact of the audiobook, making this listening experience exceptional, especially for the Georges who may hear themselves in the narrative.
