THE CHOICE

On audio, this behind-the-scenes story of our two presidential candidates starts with an introductory explanation by Bob Woodward of his research and reporting methods. The writing and narration project an intimacy that only first-hand interviews and conversations could provide. Roberts maintains this balance of overview and personal relationship that Woodward keeps so well. His narration is detached, yet approachable. He occasionally adds slight accents or rhythms to the speech of well-known people but just enough to add a little variety. Audio seems a great way to catch Woodward's work.
