"what a twist"
loved this book. Will recommend to all my friends. what a surprising twist, it was.
"AMAZING"
There was a slight problem with editing but otherwise this was a great buy. I LOVE this book and it was made even better by being read by Stephen King himself.
The editors need to do a better job though. Words were cut off at the beginning and end of chapters. Not as bad as in a few other audiobooks I have listened to lately, but enough to be annoying.
"very slow, then adequate"
I think people who love King will love it. I'm not a huge fan. About four hours in I was wishing there was an abridged version. It was still a good story in the end, but King is definitely a better writer than narrator.
"Excellent audiobook, excellent performance"
Loved this audiobook! It was made even better because Stephen King read it himself. It was wonderful that the author could emphasize certain aspects and lead the reader as intended. Always a pleasure!
"Stay with it....."
I struggled to get into the first third of this book because Stephen King is not a narrator. He admits this himself, at the end of the book. I only stayed with it because of the reviews. I'm glad I made that decision. It's s a very interesting story. I highly recommend it.
"Book waay better than the movie loved King himself"
was so glad King himself did the narration and forgot it was his voice after the first ten minutes only he could bring to life his own book the way he did bag of bones
"Infuriating"
The usual Stephen King build up. I've been reading him since the late 70s and he just holds the prize just out of reach each time. You think you know where it's going and he takes a turn and leaves you wondering.
So many comparisons because the formula is usually the same, but nevertheless essential. By the time the story reaches climax you just know the town of Derry and the TR by heart. The build up makes it real. I've come to rely on the foundation by which everything else makes sense.
The was the best performance, although, i've listen to others and appreciated the rawness and humor.
Sarah's Price
My headline indicates the emotions his writing and this time his narrative, took me through. I felt angry, disappointed, shocked, then tender for little Ky then angry again. I listen to the audio books on my commutes and before I sleep and there are driveway moments when I have to wait for a chapter to finish.
"Slow burn, huge finish"
This book was difficult to engage with at first but well worth the wait. An explosive and raw Stephen King finish awaits those patient enough to get through the meticulous character development at the begining. Very fun to listen to King himself read the book as well. Its cool to get the unique insight that can only come from the author orating his own work.
"My favourite King story"
A ghost story with appropriate mood setting and great musical accompany, makes me want to visit the area.
"Well Written and Performed"
It was wonderfully suspenseful. I felt connected to the main characters the whole time. The minor characters were hard to keep track of but they become important near the end so keep track of all of them.
