Book description
Audiobook Review - "The Treatment" by Suzanne Young
If you're already hooked on the Program series, the second instalment is a must-listen, and the audiobook version delivers every twist with an extra layer of immediacy. From the opening line, you can hear why Publishers Weekly called it "chilling and suspenseful": the narrator's voice shifts from hushed urgency to full-throated dread in an instant, pulling you straight into Sloane and James' frantic escape.
What makes this audio experience truly compelling is how well the narration captures the fractured memories that haunt the protagonists. The sound design-soft whispers of lost memories, the abrupt silence when a memory is wiped out-creates a palpable sense of loss. When the "Treatment" pill is finally introduced, the single dose feels like a ticking bomb; the narrator's pacing slows to match the weight of the decision.
The cast is spot-on: the lead voices convey Sloane's fierce determination and James' quiet resilience without ever sounding forced. The supporting characters-especially the rebellious group that aids them-are layered with just enough depth to make you care about their fate. You can almost feel the camaraderie and tension in each dialogue exchange.
The pacing is steady, never dragging despite the novel's complex plot. Each chapter ends on a hook that leaves you reaching for your phone again, which is exactly what an audiobook should do: keep you turning pages (or rather, chapters) without breaking the spell.
In short, "The Treatment" as an audiobook amplifies Suzanne Young's masterful storytelling. The voices, sound cues, and tight pacing transform a page-turning thriller into an immersive sonic adventure that will keep listeners on edge from start to finish. If you're looking for a suspenseful ride with emotional depth, this is the audio book to add to your queue.
