“Patrick Harrison combines a fine storytelling style with a sure sense of the dramatic and a good tempo. His resonant voice fits this massive evocation of the dark side of Silicon Valley.”

Listener Reviews
“Mr. Harrison's narration is especially good: his pronunciation of historical figures from all kinds of background is crisp and accurate. His quotations contain the just-right level of performance and differentiation from the text. Even reading footnotes sounds like reading footnotes should, where I'm wanting to crack open every cited work.

Palo Alto reviews on Audible
“Shout out to the reader though, great performance from him. He really captured the snarky ‘trust fund Marxist who hates his dad’ attitude of the author. I had to double check if it was read by the author or not! Also, he kind of impersonates the recent presidents when he reads a quote by them, so it’s pretty humorous.”

“The narrator does a superb job of capturing the personalities, controversies, and drama that shaped the sport from its humble and brutal beginnings to its mainstream and global success.”
