"So awesome!"
This was the best audible book to which I've listened. the narrator was incredible! Each time he changed characters, I knew who he was portraying.
"Dream catcher!"
Once again I was sucked in and transported to another time,another place, peopled with the best and worst that lives inside us all. Having grown up around the corner from Mr. King, I continue to be awed by his writing and the authenticity of all the local colloquialisms! Loved the story in all it's drama and the sweet love of the boys to men . Ike we say down east, this stir "is a Pissa'" enjoy!
"Great book"
So to preface, as someone who has done voice work I understand how hard it is on your throat, hours of reading aloud is a lot more taxing than it sounds. Having said that, the reader took me out in parts because all of the characters sounded the same (a rough northeastern accent that always sounded out of breath) unless they were talking in their heads in which they lost their accent and talked in the voice actors voice, not that his voice was...wrong(? Not exactly the word I'm looking for) for the story, in fact he was great, not what I expected, but still great. And as far as the book is concerned, it's Stephen King; need I say more? It features all of his vivid imagery that we have come to expect of his works, along with all of the nods and winks to his other amazing stories. In summation I'm extremely happy I've purchased this and will happily listen to it again.
"okay"
It kept my interest all the way to the end so it was good enough for that. But the payoff...not my favorite.
oh yes, for sure.
steady narration. But the tone, something about the tone didn't fit the story.
not really
"HOLY FUCK THIS IS AMAZING "
Good fucking mercy on high with cheese and crackers. This story permeated my dreams and my thoughts from chapter one to the end. It's riveting and keeps you on the edge. Good fucking job Stephen King, good fucking job.
"Better than the movie"
The narration was well done and thoughtful. He made the story more real. I will be listening again.
"Happy I decided to take the time for this"
So naturally I had previously seen the movie a multitude of times prior to picking up the book. I was pleasantly surprised to hear how different the story lines were. With that being said, it makes complete sense as to how they had to do each; which make each form enjoyable still! Not much negativity here, pick it up and enjoy!
"Meh"
It was okay. I've always heard Stephen King is fantastic, and I've recently been listening to many of his books. However, most of them haven't lived up to the hype. This one wasn't horrible, but it wasn't great either. I don't regret listening to it, but I'm definitely not going to listen to it again.
"Truly unique sci fi/horror combo"
Total remix of how King usually writes his books, this one starts off with a bang and doesn't let up until the book is over! Non-stop suspense thrill ride, highly recommend as long as you like the more science fiction aspects of his writing. If that's not your thing I'd steer clear.
"Good but can be confusing"
I liked the story and love how Stephen King can really depict the connection between friends. Some themes we're a bit confusing but I liked that it didn't delve too much into the details as Stepping King is wont to do. Definitely recommend
