Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Sean Runnette’s performance in Mount Misery is nothing short of extraordinary. Her ability to seamlessly switch between characters, from the gruff head doctor to the emotionally scarred patients, adds layers of depth that elevate Shem's already vivid writing. The pacing is impeccable, balancing moments of levity with gut-wrenching truths about mental health. However, some scenes feel a bit overlong, slowing down the narrative’s momentum just when it seems to be reaching its peak. Overall, this audiobook is a must-listen for anyone interested in the raw realities of psychiatry, delivered with undeniable flair.
