Gwendy's Final Task

The Button Box, Book 3

De: Stephen King, Richard Chizmar

Narrado por: Marin Ireland

King and Chizmar join forces again with a powerful novel that is also the final chapter in the Gwendy trilogy.

When Gwendy Peterson was 12, a stranger named Richard Farris gave her a mysterious box for safekeeping. It offered treats and vintage coins, but it was dangerous. Pushing any of its seven coloured buttons promised death and destruction.

Years later, the button box re-entered Gwendy's life. A successful novelist and a rising political star, she was once more forced to deal with the temptations that the box represented - an amazing sense of well-being, balanced by a terrifyingly dark urge towards disaster.

With the passing of time, the box has grown ever stronger and evil forces are striving to possess it. Once again, it is up to Gwendy Peterson, now a United States senator battling the early symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, to keep it from them. At all costs. But where can you hide something from such powerful entities?

Gwendy's Final Task is a wildly suspenseful and at the same time deeply moving novel in which 'horror giants' (Publishers Weekly) Stephen King and Richard Chizmar take us on a journey from Castle Rock to another famous cursed Maine city to the MF-1 space station, where Gwendy must execute a secret mission to save the world. And, maybe, all worlds.

Trash

I only read this because it's the last in the series and I make it a point to read anything with RF in it.
my main problems are:
1. the book starts referring to Gwendy as Gwendoline half way through even though it's explained why that isn't her name.
2. RF is somehow a good guy with good intentions? it's like the author never read the first book (only helped finish it), nor any of SK's other work.
it's terrible and the ending is ridiculously stupid.

This final book was the best of the three!

This one was more of a thriller than the other two, but was still more of a story about the terrible price being paid for a charmed life. Was it because of the box or was it her own hard work? We won't ever know. The final explanation for men in yellow was a bit odd. I didn't feel that stuff was necessary to be honest. It just felt very forced. But the rest of the story was really good. Not great but really good.

This narrator did a good job too. Seamlessly fitted in with the previous narrator.

Utter Garbage

Don't bother. All 3 in this series are nothing like SK's work.
Inconsistencies , rediculous story, I kept waiting for the climax, it never came.
