Reseñas de la Crítica

One of the most brilliant and chilling thrillers of modern times ... a thrill-a-minute ghost train ride of a novel, filled with astonishingly vivid characters. Reading it is like holding on to a live electric wire. You may want to put it down, but you find that you can't

Fabulous ... the ultimate in storytelling by two masters of the craft

Chilling horror story or fantastic journey through a strange world ... the book works like ... well, like magic

Thoroughly Enjoyable

Gripping story read masterfully (as usual) by Frank Muller.

King at his best

If you could sum up The Talisman in three words, what would they be?

Magical, sweet and dark

Who was your favorite character and why?

Wolf was my favorite character. His innocence and loyalty made me want to jump into the book and cuddle him.

Have you listened to any of Frank Muller’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I've listened to a couple of his other audio books. I enjoy the way he presents a certain genre of story but if you are not use to his style, and with a long audio book, I can understand why some people find it difficult to listen to him for extended periods.

Who was the most memorable character of The Talisman and why?

Again, Wolf. His innocence was just so sweet and his genuine affection/love for Jack was beautiful. He was dragged into a world not his own by Jack, suffered from it, but was never resentful and stayed true to his

Any additional comments?

I loved the two world/twinner/time-travel concept - its Ying and Yang. The story shows the good and evil of humans and how destructive we can be.... BUT ... it also shows how a human boy can reverse that evil in the name of love.

The Talisman

This is the second book I have listened to on my Iphone and loved it. Being new to audible I found it slightly bizzare being read to at my age ( 27 plus GST)however I have loved both books and narrators. Frank has a deep voice and the further into the book you get the more engrossed you get :) This was a great book and Frank did it justice, especially playing Wolf. I am now about to download The Black House and am glad Frank is narrating again as this will blend very well. Job well done mate :)

The perfect story for a Constant Reader!

I feel that to truly love and appreciate this story, you have to be a big King fan because … it’s a bit wordy and detailed :P but if that’s your jam (as it is mine) then this story will take you away to another world.

A blast from the past.

The Talisman magically transported this 47 year old to his youth when first he read it. What a beautiful tale filled with adventure and stunningly woven English. Frank Muller is a fine narrator, but I feel he overacts a little. The story itself is great however silly at times. That said, please note that I wouldn't change a damn thing. Thank you Mr King you absolute LEGEND.
