Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Sidney Lanier’s performance in 'The Seven Storey Mountain' is nothing short of mesmerizing. His deep, resonant voice perfectly complements Merton’s eloquent prose, bringing each chapter to vivid life. One standout moment is when Merton recounts his experiences at the monastery; Lanier's pacing slows down just enough to let these moments sink in deeply. However, a few passages felt slightly rushed due to the brevity of the audiobook. Despite this minor critique, 'The Seven Storey Mountain' remains a profound and moving listen, offering invaluable insights into Merton’s spiritual awakening and his enduring legacy.
