Book description
The frozen silence of Susan Beth Pfeffer's This World We Live In isn't just setting-it's a character, whispering through the audiobook's haunting narration. You hear it in the crunch of ice underfoot, the ragged breaths of survivors in a world where the moon's destruction turned summer into a slow, killing winter. Miranda Evans isn't just fighting hunger or cold; she's wrestling with the ghosts of everything lost, her heart a fragile thing in a landscape that demands only survival.
The audiobook's power lies in its whispers. You feel Miranda's dread as her father arrives with strangers, one of whom-Alex Morales-unravels her carefully built isolation. Their connection isn't sweet; it's charged with the desperate urgency of two people clinging to light in a suffocating dark. Their love story is a fragile bloom in a wasteland, making every moment feel stolen, every word spoken in the wind a potential death sentence. Then the tornado hits. Not a storm, but a violent, unnatural tearing of the world-a visceral, terrifying sound design that makes your own breath catch.
What makes this audiobook linger isn't just the disaster, but Miranda's choice after the storm. It's not a grand gesture, but a quiet, devastating act of love and loss that reshapes everything. The narrator doesn't shout it; they let it settle in the silence between heartbeats, a truth as cold and sharp as the ice outside. You don't just hear the story-you feel the weight of every decision, the way the frozen air seems to press in on your own lungs.
Pfeffer's genius is in the quiet horror of the ordinary turned monstrous: a baby's cry in a shelter, the way a single piece of bread becomes a sacred object. The audiobook's pacing is deliberate, letting dread build like frost on a windowpane. You don't just listen to the end of the world; you live in the suffocating, beautiful, terrifying space between survival and surrender. It's a masterpiece of emotional tension, where the most terrifying thing isn't the cold-it's the warmth you're forced to let go of. This isn't just a book to hear; it's a world you carry with you long after the final whisper fades.

ListenBook is my go-to app for audiobooks. It's like having a personal assistant for my literary adventures. Bookmarks are a lifesaver for audiobook lovers. They help me keep track of important moments. Iβd listen to this narrator read anything! Their voice was so expressive and fitting for the material. The story itself was great, but the narration took it to the next level. Definitely a 5-star experience. Solid performance, but not outstanding. The narrator did a fine job, though their tone was a bit monotonous at times. The story itself was engaging enough, but I wouldnβt call it unforgettable.
