Editorial Reviews

NOVEMBER 2011 - AudioFile

Dion Graham's rich voice and conversational tone add a needed personal dimension to the flat writing found in Dr. Ben Carson's memoir. Carson’s genuinely inspiring life journey led him from inner-city Detroit to the Ivy League and eventually to his prestigious position as a groundbreaking surgeon. He credits his supportive mother and timely Divine intervention, along with his intense work ethic, for his successes. Thanks to Graham's skill with pacing and nuanced intonation, the listener experiences Carson as a fully developed person and not simply the sum of an impressive list of personal and professional accomplishments. Graham manages to bring warmth and intimacy to this amazing story. M.O.B. © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine
