Stephen King, yes, Lorna Raver, maybe.

He should have shaved a hundred or more pages off the story (typical for him). The editing was poor, and the character arcs didn't match the intensity that King was trying to achieve. The entire thing seemed to fall apart about three quarters of the way through and it wasn't that good to begin with.

Depends on the book. She did poorly on some characters, but her narrative voice was solid throughout. I think she was the wrong person for the story.

The book had parts that kind of kept interest, but it was very scattered. I understand why he said he didn't remember writing much of the story, I would want to forget it too. He had to be drunk to come up with something like Cujo.

Maybe. If you are able to push through the last three hundred pages, when the story goes in the tank, then it might satisfy overall. It has some really good parts and fun characters, but falls short because it's too long... if that makes sense. It's also has over the top violence that King ramps up for no reason. I'm not a big fan of that, but I guess he does have a reputation to maintain.

Yes

He was steady, not bad or great, just steady.

Not listen to it again.

Yes. Very well thought out and original. Not as incredible in terms of a horror story, but more as a super natural story.

The idea that a hotel can be alive is great.

Scott was made to narrate for King.
