Publisher's Summary

Even four years after the sudden death of his wife, best selling novelist Mike Noonan can't stop grieving, nor can he return to his writing. Now his nights are plagued by vivid nightmares of the house by the lake. Despite these dreams, or perhaps because of them, he decides to return to Sara Laughs, the Noonans' isolated summer home. In his beloved Yankee town, he finds himself falling in love with a widowed young mother, who struggles to keep custody of her 3-year-old daughter. He is also drawn into the mystery of Sara Laughs, now the site of ghostly visitations, ever-escalating nightmares, and the sudden recovery of his writing ability. What are the forces that have been unleashed here - and what do they want of Mike Noonan?

I have been a fan of Stephen King's books for quite a while and have to say that Bag of Bones is one of his best! Somehow, I missed reading it when it first came out, but am so glad to have purchased the audio version recently. I love to hear Stephen reading Stephen. He makes me feel as if I'm sitting right in front of him, in his living room, listening to him spin his yarns just for me. I feel every flinch, hear every sound, as if I'm right there in the story with him. Very Good book and a necessity for any Stephen King fan.

I am a fan of Stephen King and this book did not disappoint! It kept me on the edge of my seat trying to figure out how the story would unfold. I always enjoy a book that keeps me guessing and "Bag of Bones" did just that. I also thought that Stephen did a great job on the narration! Classic Stephen King!

With a fairly lengthy interview with King at the end of the audio book. It doesn't get much better than this. I'm a voracious King reader, and found such a deeper appreciation of this incredible story by listening instead of reading. Highly recommended!!

By: Guillermo (Rochester Hills, MI, USA)

Of audio books written by Stephen King I've now listened to The Cell, Dark Tower, Duma Key, Apt Pupil and a few others. All have been wonderfully written and narrated. So when I started listening to Bag of Bones and noted it was narrated by Stephen King I was curious to hear what one of his books would be when acted by the person who wrote it.

While the narration of Bag of Bones by the author wasn't as perfect as Neverwhere's narration by its author, Stephen King did a fine job. This would be a good audio book--if it didn't have gosh darned background music pipe in every time the author thinks it's a spooky scene.

Every single "spooky" scene gets "pseudo-spooky" music put in the background, and it's frankly killing this story for me. I'm around 3/4 way through with the audio book and am wishing it would be over because it's really not enjoyable.

The story is good, the narration is fine, but the audio presentation is lousy.
