Book description
Audiobook Review - Eleanor by David Michaelis
David Michaelis' new biography of Eleanor Roosevelt is an absolute tour de force, and the audiobook delivers that same power with a voice-rich experience that feels like sitting in a private study with the author himself. From the opening line, the narrator's warm, measured tone sets a reverent yet accessible pace, allowing listeners to follow the arc of a woman who began as an orphaned niece of Theodore Roosevelt and emerged as one of America's most enduring symbols of hope.
The audio version is meticulously edited; each chapter flows into the next with subtle transitions that keep the narrative rhythm smooth. The narrator's inflection captures the emotional highs and lows-her heartbreak over Lucy Mercer, her fierce determination during FDR's polio crisis, and her quiet moments of self-reflection. When Michaelis describes Eleanor's diplomatic travels or her quiet evenings in the White House, you can almost hear the distant hum of a global conversation unfolding.
What makes this audiobook stand out is its ability to bring the historical details to life without feeling like a lecture. The narrator's clear diction and occasional light humor break up long stretches of dense biographical data, making it easier for casual listeners or history buffs alike. The sound design-soft background music during reflective passages and subtle ambient noises in scenes set abroad-adds another layer of immersion that you won't find in print.
Critics have praised Eleanor as a "stunning" portrait (WSJ) and an "absolutely spellbinding" narrative (Washington Post). These accolades translate into the listening experience: the story feels both intimate and epic. Michaelis' research shines through, with vivid anecdotes that paint Eleanor's resilience, her sexual explorations, and her relentless advocacy for human rights. The audiobook captures the complexity of a woman who was vulnerable yet fiercely independent, personal yet profoundly public.
In short, Eleanor is more than just a biography; it's an invitation to hear history in motion. Whether you're familiar with Eleanor Roosevelt or discovering her story for the first time, this audiobook offers an engaging, thoughtful, and deeply human exploration of one of America's most inspiring figures. The narrative invites listeners to reflect on how freedom remains a choice-and how we can learn from Eleanor's legacy of compassion and courage in our own lives.

The interface is intuitive, and the app supports all formats. I love the auto-bookmark feature—it saves my place automatically, so I never lose track. Highly recommend! Good for background listening. I didn’t get fully immersed, but it was pleasant enough to have on while doing chores. The narrator’s voice was easy to listen to, even if the delivery lacked some energy. This audiobook transformed my household chores into enjoyable moments! The narrator's lively yet measured delivery kept me engaged throughout. I particularly appreciated how they handled exposition - making potentially dry information interesting through thoughtful inflection and pacing.
