"Love the story, hated the narration."
I love this story and saw the movie with James Woods, it was great! I did not like the narration at all. I just can't get into it and can't seem to get past the first 5-10 minutes.

"Loved it!"
Read the story before but this was so much better! Eric Roberts does a fantastic narration.

"disapointed"
This is one of my favorite King short stories but I was disappointed by the performance. At several points during the recording, there is a heavy handed sax driven muzak playing in the background - it makes the performance come off as cheesy and makes the reader difficult to understand. As for Roberts - he reads through the material very quickly and he often sounds like he has the microphone too close to his mouth and is often hard to understand. I tried setting the ipod to slower playback but it just made him sound drunk. I set the eq on the ipod to spoken voice and that seemed to help a little - although by that point I may have just been used to it. The fact that this was so short was probably the only reason I stuck it out until the end.

"Kicking the habit the hard way"
Eric Roberts does an excellent job of narrating Stephen King's chilling tale of a man who inadvertently has to go to extreme lengths to quit his smoking habit. King's writing is so descriptive and plausible that you have to wonder if such and organisation might exist somewhere for the hardcore vice addicts. If only it went for longer.

"Smoke and you're only hurting.....your FAMILY!"
What did you love best about Quitters, Inc.?It's a smart short story that asks the question, what's more important a drag from a cigarette or your families safety ?
What other book might you compare Quitters, Inc. to and why?None come to mind.
Which character – as performed by Eric Roberts – was your favorite?The man in charge of Quitters Inc. was pretty creepy and well voiced by Eric Roberts.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?Neither, but it is smart and suspenseful. If anything, it made me cringe a little bit.
