  • 11-22-63: A Novel

    • UNABRIDGED (30 hrs and 44 mins)

    Story
    (11495)

    On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy died, and the world changed. What if you could change it back? In this brilliantly conceived tour de force, Stephen King - who has absorbed the social, political, and popular culture of his generation more imaginatively and thoroughly than any other writer - takes listeners on an incredible journey into the past and the possibility of altering it.

    "Great new book by SK. His best in years."

    Story

    I was hesitant about this book at first. It seemed so outside of what I've been used to by King, not to mention that I was not as pleased with his books that have come out in the last few years. Not only was I not disappointed, but this well exceeded my expectations.

    The book has strong characters and the concept is captivating out of the gate. Although there may have been some short-lived lulling portions, those were hardly memorable against the magnificence of the story. This was one audiobook that I could hardly wait to get back to day after day.

    Craig Wasson was.... adequate. He was good with the content, but I didn't always particularly care for his interpretation and his god-awful women's voices.

    Overall, fantastic. I recommended this book to four of my close friends and family members, and they all thought it was wonderful as well. This is one I will most definitely read again in the future.

    Twenty years ago, a boy named Jack Sawyer traveled to a parallel universe called the Territories to save his mother and her “Twinner” from an agonizing death that would have brought cataclysm to the other world. Now Jack is a retired Los Angeles homicide detective living in the nearly nonexistent hamlet of Tamarack, Wisconsin. He has no recollection of his adventures in the Territories....

    R. A. Frank says: "Delightful detective story with a magical twist!"
    "Not King's best, but great follow up to Talisman."

    Would you listen to Black House again? Why?

    I love Stephen King as much as the next guy, but I probably would not. It was a good story, but I suppose that I've grown tired of the Territories.


    What other book might you compare Black House to and why?

    The Talisman and The Dark Tower series. Same settings and familiar faces.


    Any additional comments?

    Frank Muller was incredible as always. If you've read/listened to The Talisman, you should definitely experience this conclusion of the tale.

    Hannibal Lecter. The ultimate villain of modern fiction who scared the world silent. A young FBI trainee. An evil genius locked away for unspeakable crimes. A plunge into the darkest chambers of a psychopath's mind -- in the deadly search for a serial killer....An instant classic of chilling psychological suspense... a critically acclaimed audio production of unforgettable intensity.... It's all here.

    Would you consider the audio edition of The Silence of the Lambs to be better than the print version?

    I have not read the print version of this book, but man, Frank Muller was the best!


    What other book might you compare The Silence of the Lambs to and why?

    I'm not sure if I have read a book quite like this. The depth in which Harris brought you inside of Starling's thoughts was really amazing. There is no comparison I have come across.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    I liked toward the end when Starling was hunting Buffalo Bill in the dark house. Very tense.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    Absolutely


    Any additional comments?

    If you enjoyed the movie, this is definitely worth a read/listen. Harris is a phenomenal writer!

    Once upon a time, a teenaged Kate Winslet (The Reader, Titanic, Revolutionary Road) received a gift that would leave a lasting impression: a copy of Emile Zola’s classic Thérèse Raquin. Six Academy Award nominations and one Best Actress award later, she steps behind the microphone to perform this haunting classic of passion and disaster.

    Val says: "Long, long, long"
    "What a fantastic story!"

    The story was really gripping from beginning to end. Full of tragedy, lust and human emotion. Kate does an amazing job of narrating. I will be recommending this to my friends and family. Outstanding! I would absolutely listen to Therese Raquin again.
